An industry plant is an artist who has Major/Indie Label backing their movement but presents themselves as a "home grown start up" label to create a pseudo organic following. They act as if things are miraculously happening for them based on their talent (via blog coverage, media coverage, mtv playing their vids, etc.) The reality is a low risk/high reward situation for labels looking to build the next "new star"

An artist or a series of works that has a financial and/or marketing backing from the ground up, usually by an above company or industry, but shows or attempts to show an image of it being otherwise.
To support said image, industry plants often try to blend into categories of other works and artists that are legitimately independent from any fundamental outside support.

"That musician is such an industry plant."

A hybrid genre created by combining - wait for it - Industrial and Heavy Metal. The genre is characterized by electronics-heavy production, including looped, distorted guitar riffs, distorted vocals, drum machines, and relatively heavy use of keyboards and sampling. The genre was pioneered in the late 1980s by Ministry, Godflesh, and KMFDM, and rose to prominence in the 1990s with massive successes like Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, White Zombie, and Marilyn Manson. Essentially died after that, with most modern bands in the genre (having no interest in electronic music) attempting to imitate the "death metal" sound found in Godflesh's Streetcleaner and Fear Factory's Demanufacture without understanding what makes those albums great, and failing spectacularly. One is extremely hard-pressed to name any good industrial metal bands formed after the '90s.
Industrial metal is often the source of endless online arguments about the definitions of "industrial" and "metal", usually instigated by people who only listen to one (or neither) of those genres but want to appear more knowledgeable about music than they actually are.
Not to be confused with Industrial Rock.

KMFDM, Ministry, Rob Zombie, Handzul und Gretel, Fear Factory, and Rammstein are industrial metal bands.

Known for funding many of the recent tea parties, the Koch Industries are a billion-dollar set of industries owned by the Koch family. They fund far right-wing causes and think-tanks with their billions all under the illusion that these are part of some grassroots movement.
