No, really. It says so in the FAQ. |
I went and read this FAQ and all I can say is, Jesus Christ, are people really that fucking stupid? That FAQ claims, "It is generally accepted that the term "industrial music" was coined in 1995 when a member of Korn described their music to the London Tabloids as "Industrial"." Is this a fucking joke? I'm not even sure if this FAQ is a joke or not because after reading this I was so offended that I stopped reading. Even Wikipedia is more accurate in their industrial music article.

I'm sure Viscus was being sarcastic but really, anyone who seriously believes that Korn invented industrial music or coined the term please don't ever, ever speak to me. That FAQ must have been written by 12 year olds who think rock music doesn't extend beyond their own lifetimes. I guess these people never heard of Industrial Records which was founded in the mid-1970s? May I suggest anyone who believes Korn invented industrial music please read the book Rip It Up And Start Again--or any other book upon the post-punk era....that is, if Korn fans can read. Korn is to industrial music what Vanilla Ice is to rap.
