As far as I've been able to tell, I was pretty much the sole industrial fan until now. People here do seem to like different industrial groups and songs, but I haven't found anyone that's really a fan of the genre. We've got lots of metalheads but no industrial fans.
I'm mostly into industrial rock(don't care for goth/dark wave) and prefer the stuff from the 90's and after. The pre-90's stuff's okay, but I think the best stuff by far came after that. I know he's controversial for a lot of industrial fans because he breached the mainstream with and underground genre, but I still think Trent Reznor is the god of industrial. I also like the earlier KMFDM, Pigface, Front242, Ministry has some good stuff, Meat Beat Manifesto, and Stabbing Westward. Not a huge fan of Skinny Puppy, but I really like Ohgr's solo stuff. I went through a Velvet Acid Christ phase, but his songs tend to sound the same due to him overusing the same effects all of the time. Anglespit has some decent stuff, too.
You know who's extremely underrated when it comes to industrial? David Bowie. He had a phase in the 90's where he did a couple of industrial albums and even toured with NIN.
And here's Trent stalking Bowie.
