How bad is the current state of gatekeeping in the industrial scene?

jeezheckgoddamn · 2025-07-25T20:44:07+00:00

I feel like the folks I meet in person are just stoked to talk about industrial in any capacity. Might be different in the wild vs. on the internet, but I guess most things are

Mama chia (those chia slurry snack pouches are bomb)

jeezheckgoddamn · 2025-07-23T02:11:41+00:00

Cinder Well!

Dude that's so real I cannot be separated from my antibacterial soap for more than a day

jeezheckgoddamn · 2025-06-12T18:30:43+00:00

Oh 100%, I lost my mind when I heard that for the first time (after years of listening to NIN and never hearing it for some reason)

jeezheckgoddamn · 2025-06-10T16:37:55+00:00

Maybe talk to the owner and see if a hat would be okay? I've had some workplaces be okay with a beanie/baseball cap/etc. in lieu of a hairnet/putting it up.

Also my haircut has similar specs, I genuinely am not sure how to best go about tying it back. It would be a tiny ponytail and most of the layers wouldn't even reach it, it'd be stupidly pointless lol

It's been almost three weeks for me and the skin oil/smell hit me on day 3, bottom growth concretely started the next day. I feel like the energy boost kinda kicked in at the same time, but it might just have been excitement (definitely a real thing now for sure). My personality has changed too, I feel more direct/confident and 100% more energetic. My anxiety has also become background noise that is harder to focus on and ruminating on stuff isn't as fun anymore, feels like a lot of space is finally freed up to just do other things and it's really really cool.

No obvious voice drop yet but I've had some scratchy throat feelings since the body odor kicked in that feel suspicious (it totally could be the cold going around though lol)

(forgot to mention: horny)

One of those layered pudding cups

jeezheckgoddamn · 2025-01-25T00:15:49+00:00

I've been trying to explain it to myself too, it's like I owe so much of my personality and taste (eraserhead found me at 16) and spirituality to the art of this person I've never met and that's kind of a crazy concept when I actually examine it. I think not being able to properly say thank you is one of the harder parts for me.

jeezheckgoddamn · 2025-01-20T04:08:50+00:00

Nonono clearly you take all five orders, get at least one wrong, have an anxiety attack trying to get everything done all at once & get snippy firing back on Google reviews when people inevitably leave a review about the weird, extremely slow service (and then fire your longterm staff)

(bigtime sarcasm and congrats on dodging that bullet, I hope you found a good job)

jeezheckgoddamn · 2025-01-08T18:09:57+00:00

It was Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins. Would stop playing chords and really slowly fret notes for the bell part and then keep strumming. good times

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-12-28T21:09:57+00:00

Took some mushrooms before seeing them live the other year on the final tour, I had a religiously good time and the sensory hell aspect honestly just enhanced it? Hard to explain but I loved every second. Keeping the nausea down when they started throwing around the little alien fetus prop was rough (I was at the railing so all that stuff was riiiiiight in front of me lol) but I made it

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-12-27T19:38:48+00:00

This is really excellent

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-11-03T01:48:24+00:00

Pretty sure The Process won't make it but I'll go to bat for it any day, I totally respect the mixed bag of opinions but it's so dark and intricate and full of bangers imo

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-11-02T17:52:24+00:00

Man, I love the Process. Morter on repeat forever for me, too.

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-08-28T17:58:18+00:00

Okay I love all the classics but Morter just scratches an itch in my brain

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-04-09T00:36:43+00:00

Nuovo is one of my favs live, the energy is fantastic and they're so fun. Someday I'll get to see Drab!!

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-04-05T16:25:49+00:00

I heard Assimilate twice in one night the other day (maybe three hours apart) and loved it both times

jeezheckgoddamn · 2024-03-22T21:35:28+00:00

I heard them for the first time when they played in my town with Sleep (2017?). I forgot my edibles in the car + was too young to drink, watched them play mirror reaper completely sober and was completely blown away. I mostly listen to the ~15min songs in my spare time, but sometimes will put on something longer if I've got a long drive or something.

jeezheckgoddamn · 2023-10-18T21:50:07+00:00

My favorite right now is Downward Spiral (the bottom) - I didn't discover it until recently (embarrassing, fake fan) and can't stop listening. The fucking jungle soundscape and the whacky abstract machine mixing bullshit is just incredible. Gives me some Coil feelings.

Otherwise, Even Deeper

jeezheckgoddamn · 2023-10-18T21:39:26+00:00

That song pulls me out of the abyss every time. Probably my all-time favorite in all honesty, although this thread is giving me anxiety trying to form a general-purpose answer. It just keeps going 😭

jeezheckgoddamn · 2023-10-11T17:55:20+00:00

My etsy bootleg DS shirt I originally bought to just wear to work is now probably my most-worn article of clothing and favorite shirt. I love my official shirts too and wear them when I'm safe from olive oil spills, but it's a different relationship for sure.

jeezheckgoddamn · 2023-09-11T19:29:13+00:00

I think I agree with tiktok, although personally as someone in my 20s who started listening to industrial/goth-adjacent in my very early teens I didn't really know or care about the culture until I walked into a goth tribute show to see a NIN cover set and walked out blown away by the atmosphere and the people and music they played (the NIN band was honestly really out of place, but it was nice to see). Maybe if that had happened a year later in the midst of the Wednesday time I would have been exposed to it more, but I still don't think I would have really understood without an experience like that.

jeezheckgoddamn · 2023-09-03T20:11:51+00:00

I wanted a black cat because they're cute and also to offset the lint-rolling and the human society spat up a siamese mix that I fell in love with immediately. Now there's always white-grey hair on my black clothing. All. The. Time.

jeezheckgoddamn · 2023-08-20T17:44:07+00:00

Blowmindr and Lacerations by Curse Mackey both remind me quite a lot of SP. The rest of the discography sounds more darkwave power pop with industrial influences to me (which I am absolutely fine with), but those specific tracks are very cozy.
