hey what is industrial? is it really heavy? i mean i just can't listen to death metal there is no skill involved in it.

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.

Old Punk: the Best stuff ever(The Clash, Sham 69, Sex Pistols, The Misfits, The Germs)
New Punk: not so much, but there's a few good 'uns
Ska: all waves are cool (Skatalites, The Specials, The Toasters), Less Than Jake sucks!
Jazz: good stuff
Classic Rock: Who doesnt like it, you'd have to be insane not to like some, at least like Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd

I like rock (speaking on behalf of any type of music that has a guitar in it but not as far as Garth Brooks), jazz and classical (Mozart, Beethoven,ect.)

I listen to very little rap (I hate the derogatory comments in most songs and some rappers are not understandable) and I may come across a song or two I like that isnt in the categorys above. Other than that, I'm truthfully not a big music fan. I can live without it.

P.S. Some may say you need music but music is an art. I occupy myself with two other forms of art besides music: drawing (which I've surprisingly got a natural talent for) and I work on the technical crew at my high school so I get to watch a lot of theatre.

P.S.S. For all you kids out there, yes, I do work in a theatre but am not -blam!-. And for anyone who even thought about saying that, you should get your persepectives straight and grow up. I'm even ashamed at myself for having to write this down but I know some of the people on these forums and they need things told directly to them to understand.

i only listen to TRUE METAL, mostly al new stuff but i still respect and appreciate the older bands like black sabbath and iron maiden and the like. i would tell some bands but i'm afraid there are just too many posers. if you're looking for true metal find it your self.
