Okay, but graham, I've been looking into the origins here, and I can see a sharp division from post-punk to industrial.
Industrial, it's sort of the "anti-pretty" music.
Here...is a pretty good example of "industrial" by Godflesh, though you are correct that "industrial" music goes back farther. Coil is a good example too.

Now listen to a better synthesized version of industrial that NIN put together, not the lyrics, not the video, but the opening you hear the sounds of "industry" that was the point, to use metal drums, chainsaws, scraping sounds, and all the things you would hear in a factory for example.

Maybe we could move this to it's own topic? I would love to continue the discussion without messing up the thread okay?

I can't listen to Summer Breeze without feeling terrible....I once broke someone's heart, and that was the song that I received in the mail a month or so later. I know it must sound silly, but in my mind, there is nothing more horrible to me than hurting someone like that, and though it sometimes is unavoidable, it's gut-wrenching for me.
