A very dark and experimental genre of music. The genre was first created by Throbbing Gristle in the 1970's. The sound is characterized by drone-like noises in an ambient style and frequent use of found objects and electronic instruments (mainly the keyboard and computer programming but electric guitars, bass, and drums are found in it). Industrial music became more well-known when the genres of Industrial Rock and Industrial Metal first came into being. Fans of Industrial music are called rivetheads though Industrial is very popular with straight up Goths.
Contrary to what some people say, bands like Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, KMFDM, and some works of Marilyn Manson ARE in fact Industrial. Though these bands have had at least one period of mainstream exposure, they remain relativley underground compared to a lot of other musicians, not to mention a lot of them are back in the underground (while NIN and Manson have performed in stadiums before, they mostly play in smaller venues that barely hold more than 500-1000 people). Bands like the above mentioned ones are great for starting out with Industrial, though if you want to become serious about it you should also check out bands like Controlled Bleeding, Whitehouse, and Coil.

When you listen to Industrial Music, whether it be Throbbing Gristle's "20 Jazz Funk Greats" or Ministry's "The Land of Rape and Honey", you get a certain satisfaction and creative feeling you can't get from most other music.

Get the Industrial Music mug.One of the greatest but most underrated characters on Futurama. Known for being completely golden, always lying down, even while walking, almost always munching on grapes, and always rejoicing at anything and everything that brings him entertainment or pleasure.
Some of Hedonism Bot's best quotes are:
I apologize for nothing!
Surgery in an opera? How wonderfully decadent! And just when I was beginning to lose interest... Djambi, the chocolate icing!
Oh, sirrah, how deliciously absurd!

Get the Hedonism Bot mug.Store that sells mainly music. Big from the Twenties to the Nineties, itunes has driven a lot of good record stores out of business. Though a few still exist in most cities, and sell CDs, vinyl, 45s, tapes, and DVDS of shows and movies alike.

Get the Record Store mug.The first Monday in September. Made to honor the working men and women in the United States, though mainly known for cookouts, parades, days off from work and school (which is usually just beginning) and being the official last day of summer (while the last day is technically Sept. 20, almost every summer related activity shuts down after Labor Day).
Me and my girlfriend had a killer Labor Day weekend. Now I'm depressed knowing I have to go back to work and that Autumn is right around the corner.

Get the Labor Day mug.When someone or something gives you a rather irritating and most likely unnecessary problem that proves to really hinder progress at something.
I posted a video on Youtube with a clip of The Ramones for no longer than 5 seconds. Now the site is playing bullshit with me and I have to go through all this legal stuff to keep my account from being suspended.

Get the Playing Bullshit mug.Born 1958, a musician known best perhaps for forming the legendary Chicago Industrial Metal act Ministry, as well as writing most (if not all) of the music and being the only consistant member throughout the band's 27-year history. Jourgensen is also in charge of other bands such as 1000 Homo DJs, Revolting Cocks (often shortened as "RevCo") and Lard with former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra.
Jourgensen is a noted hater of the Bush family, his favorite targets being former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, with several of Ministry's songs being critical of the way they've run the country.

Rin-Daughters of Mnemosyne is one of the most underrated shows of all time. I seriously wish they would've made more episodes.
