quick question.. or statement rather, Im prolly the biggest fan of Nine Inch Nails that you'll ever find, least I like to think so

I grew up on this kinda music
anyways, what is emo? a band or a guy who sings/screams/cries on songs with emotion/passion?..correct?, least thats my view on it anyways
and if thats the case Arsenic, Trent Reznor (who is a god amongst men, a genius) was the 1 who invented "emo" imo
case and point, the album Pretty Hate Machine came out in 1989.. far before anyone ever knew what "emo" was.., track 5, "Something I Can Never Have" has emo written all over it
and its 1 of my most favorite songs of all time
as far as NINs new stuff, its a totally different sound, its definately not the same as what it used to be but I will forever be a fan
as far as other Industrial music/artists, NIN is all i know for that genre, sorry, no help from me
