When I heard that phrase about 15 years ago I realized I didn’t want to be into “industrial” music anymore. There were so many stupid sub-genres . . .
Coldwave, Darkwave, EBM (Electronic Body Music).
Seriously, that has got to be the stupidest term ever (challenged later by Mathcore). I hear it most often used with reference to Front 242, by the way.
That’s because the term was first popularized when it appeared on a Front 242 record.
Maybe it is kind of a useless term, because to me Front 242 has more in common with stuff like early Ministry and Skinny Puppy than today’s canonical “EBM” bands. The line between EBM and not-EBM has never been obvious to me, especially with '80s bands.
Mathcore is a good one alright. I think some of the black metal sub genres are really funny: Suicidal black metal, depressive black metal, funeral metal, technical death metal.
I think there’s a tripcore too.
And EBM clearly doesn’t stand for Electronic Body Music. It clearly stands for Elephantic Boreal Madness
EBM, let’s see
Electronic Beat Machine (non-human drum machine)
Elderly Bowel Movement
External Banking Machine (otherwise known as an ATM or MAC)
Electronic Business Machine (printer copier adding machine)
Evidence Based Medicine (you know, proof)
Experimental Biology and Medicine
Epic Beard Man
Electrical Bid Manager
Electron Beam Melting
Energy By Motion
Environmentally Benign Manufacturing
Executive Business Media
Espresso Book Machine
Ecosystem Based Management
Electron Beam Microscope
Eel Butthole Manipulators.
Explosive Bacon Masturbation.
Erotic Balancing Monkeys.

I’ve seen really passionate debates on YouTube whether certain bands were Death Metal, Black Metal, or Blackened Death Metal. I always liked the term Melodic Death Metal. It seems so unsure of itself.
WitchHouse is the newest one I’ve learned (so retarded).
Other douchey genre names . . . NERDCORE, PornoGrind, Metalcore, Dubstep, Avante-Garde Metal, Groove Metal, Ambient Industrial.

the “sissy penis factory’s” song “everybody Fuck Now” was labeled porno grind.
It’s a smut band covering C+C music factory.
from their discogs profile:
A C + C Music Factory smut cover band, one of numerous other cover projects led by the producers at G & G Studios in Kaarst, known as Wild Boys, The and ‘Long Fellow’.
The song is so fucking stupid!!

I couldn’t listen to the whole thing. I hope that’s just a horrible representation of the genre.
I getcha, Eureka. I love it, but whatyagonnado.
I prefer older Leather Strip.

Indeed. Old Strip rules. New Strip is decent, but new Klutae beats the fuck out of pretty much anything Claus-related.

Xtra, that’s beautiful.
I believe there’s also a ‘medio-core’
At least they’re honest
