sure, i see what you mean. just playing around. i think it's too
much similarity that stifles a genre (or something that's called one
that really isn't). still, it's hard to know how much "something else"
a style of music can take before it's no longer that music. the sad
thing is i can barely use the word industrial anymore becuse most
people think that means cheesy electro-dance with rock/metal
guitars and effected screaming. so i understand the impulse to
draw the line somewhere.
