Industrial Hardcore

A subgenre of Hardcore with more distorded sounds and kickdrums. It's very dark sounding music and the speed varies from 140bpm to 250bpm. This kind of music has very much influences from Techno and Rhytmic Noise.

mindless self indulgence

There are 2 definitions of this word:

1.) -a band whose members include Little Jimmy Urine(lead singer), Kitty(drummer), Steve, Righ?(guitarist), Lynn Z(bassist), and formerly Vanessa Y.T.(bassist). They sound like punk rock, techno, and rap all mixed together and describe their music as "industrial jungle pussy punk".
as if their parental advisory-labeled lyrics aren't controversial yet wicked crazy-awesome enough, their shows have involved Jimmy setting his dick on fire, drinking his own pee, making out with girls and guys in the crowd, ect. The cds you will most likely be able to find are "You'll Rebel to Anything(As Long as it's not Challenging)", Frankenstein Girls will Seem Strangly Sexy", and "Tight". In my opinion, THEY FUCKIN ROCK!!!

2.) -the act of masturbating (which is probably how the band got their name.)
I practice a mindlessly self indulgent mindless self indulgence. I have mindlessly self indulged many times before. In fact, I mindlessly self indulged just last night. I will mindlessly self indulge tommorrow, too, because I mindlessly self indulgently mindlessly self indulge everyday. I am mindlessly self indulging right now over my favorite band, Mindless Self Indulgence.

Industrial

An electronic genre originating with influential group Throbbing Gristle in 1970's, on their own "Industrial Records".

The genre was created and defined by TG based off a phrase coined by Monte Cazazza, "Industrial Music for Industrial People". Consisting of abrasive lyrics, dissonant and relatively abstract distorted melodies, drum machines/samplers and gratuitous use of delay and other effects, Industrial music often draws upon transgressive and shocking themes while adhering with absolutely no fucking established musical conventions In other words, it is music theory's worst nightmare.

Although first wave Industrial artists are generally considered by Industrial historians to be the only "true" Industrial bands (and even that is sometimes reduced to just TG), the genre gave birth to dozens of genre that generally fall under the umbrella term of "Post-Industrial". This includes the Electro-Industrial genre, comprised of bands such as Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly, the EBM genre (Nitzer Ebb, early Ministry, Front 242, etc.) and the Industrial Metal/Industrial rock genres (later Ministry, Pigface, etc.) just to name a few (the commercially lauded and probably most known post-industrial band, Nine Inch Nails, dabbled in a handful of these genres, but mostly stuck with an Industrial Rock sound in later years).
Industrial-influenced artists pass on a legacy of being agressive, loud and creative, as well as hold some of the most brutal live shows you could ever attend (seriously, if you were in the pit of a show during the VIVIsectVI tour there's a fairly good chance you were either trampled or had ringing in your ears for weeks to come). If you've never listened to Industrial music at all, I suggest you grow a pair and listen to as much as you can.

Except for Ministry's recent album "Relapse" that shit is total fucking garbage and Al is a pathetic shadow of his former self.

Industrial System

All of the parts of a productive system that contribute to marketable products; the productive elements in a particular economy. This includes the entire network of firms, regulatory bodies (like government), infrastructure (roads, telecommunications), and financial intermediaries (banks, thrifts).

In a global economy, there are many industrial systems. In fact, it's quite possible that a single town could have companies belonging to different industrial systems; e.g., a paper mill near a biotech research facility. Almost none of the productive systems share potential employees or potential markets; a recession for the biotech business could--and probably would--completely spare the paper mill. Moreover, the managers of the two businesses probably want opposite policies: the mill owners want low taxes and small government, while the biotech researchers want big spending on education and infrastructure.

Much confusion is caused by calling the industrial system the "economy." The industrial system is not the economy. The industrial system is an organic entity within a greater economy. Various policies may be beneficial for this or that industrial system, with an ambiguous effect (if any) on the economy.
The family model was incorporated into the industrial system with the agent (who was the chief manager) filling the father's role. The same model was also expressed in the hierarchical management structure... The overseer was the "father" of his workroom and was expected to treat the workers like his children.
