This is a classic meme by (I think) schweinhund89 on reddit. iirc later it was commented that though the image was over 10 years old, it was still mostly true.
As always with these kinds of memes,
Not one mention of my favorite industrial band (KMFDM) on the entire meme leaves me wondering if I am a true oldhead and didn’t know it, or if I’m a poser and didn’t know it.
Pretty sure I had this same conversion regarding Powerwolf on the “metalhead” version of this
Even KMFDM think that KMFDM sucks 😉
Are KMFDM the ones that smoke and drink? Sounds like a bad influence to me!
Yes, and all other bands stink
You’d at least think KMFDM would get mentioned in the giant band name dropping in that last panel. Also, KMFDM is my favorite industrial band as well o/
I too liked “kill motherfucking depeche mode” (KMFDM). Rammstein is basically them, but newer. I’m sure KMFDM Was a major influence.
I feel like I fit the last one, someone who actually likes industrial.
I like NiN more than industrial as a category. Catchy songs, and groovy. Drug against war is their “hit”. Kunst is better, but so mean to depeche mode. Megalomaiac, krank is ok. Amnesia only pop hook, but chorus is meh. They’ve got their own sound for sure… juke joint jezebel excepted. Anyways, there are 20 NiN songs better than anything KMFDM ever released.
Name dropping Foetus and an Einstur shirt. It gets an upvote. Jeez I’m old.
Ha I knew I wouldn’t be in this list because these days I’m more into IDM, ambient, dark ambient, experimental…
EDIT: Oh God they’ve even got an Aphex Twin shirt
So wie der eine von den Krupps, wie hieß er noch?
Hmm, Dörper.
Bottom left beat me to it. That said, I like music that I like. I’ve never understood putting things in boxes or purists. I have played shows with one band listed in the image and seen many of the others in my younger days.
This kind:
Nitzer Ebb are still going, but not the same without Doug McCarthy IMHO.
No mention of Machines of Loving Grace? Gravity Kills? Ministry?
My wife got me into industrial! This is a new type.
I really love memes about music genres I know nothing about!
Oh damn, can you make the bottom right dude a little bigger? I wanted to hear all the ones he listed…
It’s an ancient meme so there are multiple copies floating around. Highest quality seems to be
Looks like it says:
Laibach, Current 93, Raymond Watts, Cabaret Voltaire, Front 242, Klinik, Boyd Rice, Snog, Meat Beat Manifesto,
and the last one I can’t make out but it looks like it starts with a P and a T
I actually like Industrial.
