You're also forgetting bands like Alien Sex Feind, Christian Death, and 45 Grave. Not to mention bands like Skinny Puppy and Foetus that had cross genre appeal. Add that there were not many "industrial clubs at that time, nor many "gothic" clubs. Alternative was still "alternative" back then clubs played what would be an eclectic mix of everything by todays standards. As bands like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb created industrial music that could be danced to, it simply got added to the play lists along with everything else. Then, as today, differences between the genres which were more aesthetics than musical, was a moot point to everybody but the fringe fanatics of the various genres. Even today those fringe fans have define such genres more by which bands they like than any objective rational. thus if they like synthpop and like band XYZ, then band XYZ is sysnthpop, not EBM. If they feel they like EBM and not synthop but like band XYZ, then band XYZ is EBM.</p></blockquote><p></p>
