- Yeah, so mr. reznor says he isn't industrial, but is pop. And
- EN say they're not industrial, but instead are avant-garde jazz. And
- KMFDM say they're not industrial, but instead are ``ultra-heavy beat''.
- WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY KNOW?! They are all musicians, not rocket
- scientists! >;-> Sorry, but musical categories tend to be consensus reality,
- and not given to redefinition by one person. While I agree that
- NIN is a bit on the pop-py side for my tastes, I'm not gonna bust a
- gut if someone posts about him here. (that's what kill-files are for.)
- (And as for EN being avant-jazz, everyone I know that is into
- that hears them and says, ``What the hell are you listening to?'').
