Industrial music is a form of experimental music which emerged in the 1970s.
In the 1980s, industrial splintered into a range of offshoots, sometimes collectively named post-industrial music.[1] This list details some of these offshoots, including fusions with other experimental and electronic music genres as well as rock, folk, heavy metal and hip hop. Industrial genres have spread worldwide and are particularly well represented in North America, Europe, and Japan.
