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 Musicmug. 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 Botmug. 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 Bullshitmug. A stretch of time in popular music where modern Rock bands reduce guitar use in their music in favor of keyboards and electronics. Usually lasts about 3-5 years. This does not mean guitar oriented music doesn't receive radio airplay or that the bands in question remove the instrument from their music altogether.
The time this definition was written could be considered a dead guitar era, with the rise in prominence of bands like Imagine Dragons.

Get the Dead Guitar eramug. Updates, repairs, etc. done irregularly buy Youtube. In order to perform such maintenance's the site must be all but totally shut down, meaning you can watch videos on the site but you cannot comment on a video, favorite a video, send a video, or rate a video. You also cannot send anyone a message, post a comment on someone's channel, send a friend invite, or subscribe to someone.
In the past Youtube posted messages warning users about maintenance that evening, but after major page redesigns the only message that appeared was the one informing you maintenance was currently in progress, but now they've eliminated that too, meaning the only way you know is when you can't do anything but watch vids.

I tried to favorite this Nine Inch Nails vid, but due to Youtube Site Maintenance it won't let me. I'll have to do it when I get home from school tommorow

Get the Youtube Site Maintenancemug. Chicago's American League and south side MLB team (as opposed to the Cubs, who play on the North Side). Often regarded as the "second team of the second city" in spite of:
*More world series titles (three to the Cubs' two) as well as the advantage of actually having won a title in the last 100 (or rather 105) years.
*A statistically better record over the last 25 years (i.e. more winning seasons than losing)
*A newer, nicer stadium that helps provide a happy, fun, comfortable ballgame experience (Wrigley may have more history and outer beauty, but it's a different story inside the ballpark)
*Fans who, though not above taunting and harassing, will actually respect players and fans of the opposing team (unlike Cubs fans, who enjoy turning aggressive on innocent fans and players when things don't go their way)

When the White Sox lose, they admit it was the result of bad playing by their team or much better playing by the other, and look to build a better team from that point regardless.
When the Cubs lose, they blame some ridiculous "curse" or even one of their own fans and let yet another defeat become more and more part of the team's history and daily life

Get the White Soxmug. A movie made and advertised as an action or disaster movie with more comedy dialogue than serious, making people wonder if it's supposed to be funny or if the script writers failed. Movies like these are usually critically panned but box office successes.
Deep Impact is a good example of a hidden comedy. It seems like a serious film about the end of the world and the survival of humanity, though quite a bit of dialogue sounds more like it came from a Mike Judge film.
