Industrial vs. Goth

(1/3) > >>

schneeball:
Being how Germany is the birth place of industrial music, I'm wondering how popular is it now? Also, are you more into industrial or goth or both?

In the states, bubble gum and slick R&B style rap still dominate (along with modern country music   :? ). How commericial is Germany's mainstream? Inquiring minds need to know.

No, Germany ain't the birth place of Industrial, guess it started in the U.K. with Throbbing Gristle and S.P.K., but many people don’t even know what Industrial really is. Amusing to see if someone's putting Marilyn Manson in an Industrial Corner. :roll:
So, Industrial might become more popular in the Underground, but not on commercial Radio Stations or on MTV, there you can listen to stupid commercial soft Hip Hop Bullshit the whole day! :evil:

Der Uhu:
Industrial is very common in Germany and heaps of gothics like it. Often it is mixed up with electronic Techno-like beats. But I am really not a specialist because I am not much into that music. To be honest I hate it! That is not music! That is only noise and I always fell like at VW in the assambly hangar. But as "W" already said it is hardly played in the radio. Instead they play a lot of that R&B, Hip-Hop, Funk & soul, which is something I hate even more. Why do they import only crap!? Sean Paul and Usher and stuff like that! Disgusting! Fortunately there are also some bearable pop songs and increasingly german bands in the radio.

SuperTorus:
Uhu, why are you listening to the radio at the first place?  It sucks, and it will never change anymore. Radio is dead.

And btw, for some reason I thought industrial was born in belgium. Don't know why. The more i think about it the least sense it makes...


I think industrial goes well along with the other styles. On parties, when it's a bit later we usually get a lot of industrial stuff at the Kir and Return partys. We also (does Stahlklang still exists?) have a party dedicated to industrial, noise and so on.  Been there a couple of times, and when I was in the right mood I had a great time.

We have some kind of split between the electro and guitar oriented music though. That's a bad thing. Parties where booth kinds of music are played (*g*) are very nice most of the time. They just don't happen that often anymore.

I can't really enjoy a whole night of pure future-pop/electro anymore. Two years ago I had a great time justhanging out at the party and listening.  But nowadayxs I don't see any progress in the electronic music. The last two albums that got my attention where assemblage23 / failure and the neurotic fish album (and those are old). Besides those I only see catcopies. If I wouldn't have all these nice folks around me I wouldn't go to pure electro parties anymore. Nothing against two or three hours of straight weiber-elektro, but a whole night is simply to much.

Don't know.. lost interest in this music very quickly, and my taste shifted towards the more guitar oriented musics. I ignored most of the classic wave/goth music over the past years, and and it's time for me to dig for forgotten gems.
