There is a big difference between what someone considers industrial, and what industrial is. Manson and Zombie are NOT industrial. Mainstream, yes. Industrial, no.
It would be like someone saying 'Hey that new goth band MCR totally r0xx0rz my s0xx0rz'. You and all other people into the goth genre would disagree with that statement.
When I think of recent industrial, I don't think of NIN, Manson, or Zombie. I think of Metropolis records. Not everything on that record label is industrial, but a fair chunk of it is. Take God Module, Psyclon Nine, and Combichrist for example. I'd say those bands are fairly mainstream. Perhaps not regarded as 100% industrial, but definately mainstream within the industrial genre. Neither of the these bands are trying to be like goth. I assure you.
