Incubus

The most awesome metal-funk turned alt.rock band that ever existed. Members include Brandon Boyd(the most creative, sensual, and down-to-earth guy alive-basically the quintessential man), Mikey Einziger(the most underrated guitarist in terms of creativity and shear talent), Jose Pasillas III-drummer extraordinaire, DJ Kilmore(known as Chris-replaced DJ Lyfe and turntablist Jedi master), and bassist Ben Kenney(who recently replaced the bands original bassist Dirk Lance, but hey he's still cool in my book). So far, the band has had 7 official albums which inlude: A fungus Amongus, Enjoy Incubus, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., Make Yourself, When Incubus Attack Vol.1, Morning View, and A Crow Left of the Murder. The group formed in 94 in Calabasas, California, where Brandon, Mikey, and Jose went to school together.
1 guy-Dude, I just bought an Incubus album, like you said, and my life has now taken a change for the better. I'm gonna go make myself so I can be redefined. Hopefully I can experience the warmth before I grow old. I really wish you were here so we can like, go surfing or sumthin.

guy 1's awesome friend- Kudos to you my friend. Um, would I be out of line if I said that I miss you, too?

induce

to bring about or make something happen by persuasion
He was induced by her impeccable beauty and by the way she made him feel when they had hour long sessions of sex; therfore, she was able to subtley infiltrate his wealth and fortunes and gradually snatch it away.

Two things:

A mythical demon that rapes women in their sleep (male version of a succubus).

An 0wnAge alternative rock band that became quite well known to the world back in 1999. They release almost totally different stuff with each album

industrial

A style of music started in the mid-1970's by the seminal "band" Throbbing Gristle. Known for the painful noise and disturbed subject matter that seemed to spring eternal from their seriously crazed leader, Genesis P-Orridge (he was once threatened by the axe-murder Ian Brady... Prompting him to write a song about Ian), TG quickly claimed a name for itself. They were often described as "the wreckers of civilization." Industrial music was further explored by synth-whatever acts Suicide and Cabaret Voltaire, from New York and Sheffield respectively. Both shared a sort of skewed love for pop music, and both had a penchant for writing seriously weird songs, in the tradition of TG. Cab Voltaire especially was an enormous influence on the scene to follow. The Cabs were soon followed by the fledgling Einsturzende Neubauten, possibly the most notorious of the well-known industrial groups. With more members, no drum set, and a hatred for the guitar, Blixa Bargeld and his band of jaded Germans unleashed a wave of broken machinery and really cool-sounding German lyrics, and throwing in danceable beats, thus giving birth to (you can't blame 'em) the Holocaust that is modern-day industrial. With very little respect for the experimentation of their forefathers but a strong desire to somehow work machinery into their music, a whole host of over (I will NOT say über)-angsty Goths turned to the new genre of Industrial for sanctuary. Bands like Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, and many other groups who wore their hair like Goths but were really, REALLY angry, started coming out of the woodwork. J.G. Thirlwell was a notable exception, bringing some seriously needed humour to the genre with his whole host of aliases (most of them containing "foetus"). Things only went downhill from there, and before you know it, BAM! the Nine Inch Nails.
Just because it has the sound of a jackhammer in it doesn't make it industrial music.

Incubus

The best band in the world, and there is a common misconception that Brandon Boyd IS the band just because he is the frontman. Amazing, amazing lyrics and musical talent even if their newer music has become a little more washed out. They are still innovative and always bring a style of their own!
