ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Post-industrial music

Imagine a big factory that makes things like toys, cars, and electronics. This is called an industrial factory. Once the factory made all the things it needed to, it would create a certain sound, like machines humming and whirring.

But what happens when the factory closes down? There would be no more machines making those sounds because they aren't needed anymore. This is when post-industrial music comes in.

Post-industrial music takes those sounds from the closed down factory and turns them into music. It's like playing with the sounds and turning them into something new and creative. Sometimes the music might sound a bit strange or weird, but that's because it's using sounds from unexpected places.

In post-industrial music, the focus is more on the sounds created than the lyrics or vocals in the song. It's all about using the sounds in different ways to make the music interesting and unique.
