Doesn't make him worse just because he makes music for a larger audience.

Also, Far Side Virtual is Vaporwave, and I'd appreciate it if you could label Floral Shoppe as Vaporwave. K thx, bai.

You're right, the reason he's worse is because his music just isn't good imo anyway :P

Industrial:

Nondustrial:

And of course industrial is better.

Sure, not industrial at all.

However, there's also this stuff.

Even this isn't terribly different from the industrial that came before it.

Trent Reznor has literally worked with all your beloved industrial gods: John Balance, Peter Christopherson and the like.

So do your ****ing research before you go saying that NIN isn't industrial. And personally, I like to think of it like this:

Nine Inch Nails (AKA Trent Reznor) and those like him redefined industrial for a new generation, and let it live on rather than dying the slow death it would have.

But they're not. They're industrial for people who haven't been exposed to the real stuff aka industrial lite.

Dude, I've been exposed to the "real stuff", and it's not any better than anything Nine Inch Nails comes out with. I sort of get the feeling that you just think anything that's mainstream sucks.

Nah I just don't like ****ty music. Popularity doesn't mean anything to me unless that popularity is pared with people confusing genre labels...

Also it's scientifically impossible to make industrial music better than Throbbing Gristle's.
