Post-industrial music

Post-industrial music is a genre that evolved from the industrial music of the late 1970s and 1980s, characterized by experimental sounds, unconventional noise textures, and often dissenting or dark themes. It incorporates a wide range of influences, including electronic, ambient, and avant-garde elements, creating a sound that is often aggressive, haunting, or dystopian. The style emphasizes sonic experimentation and the use of non-traditional instruments or found sounds, challenging conventional music structures. Post-industrial music often reflects themes of technology, societal critique, and alienation, appealing to listeners seeking innovative and thought-provoking auditory experiences.
