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.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.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.One who plays any type of video game, though mostly adventure games, with the only intention being exploring the worlds and taking in all the fake scenery, often while ignoring the in-game objectives or not taking them seriously. Usually a sure sign of boredom or at least a lack of interest in other nearby game choices.

Get the In-game wanderer mug.The excellent debut album by Avenged Sevenfold, released in 2001 by Good Life Records and re-released by Hopeless Records the next year. This is the only album to feature original bassist Dameon Ash, featured on both versions. The original also doesn't feature lead guitarist Synyster Gates while the re-release does. The most noted track from the album is "Warmness on the Soul". This album also contains the most screaming vocals by M. Shadows.
