WEEK 9: YOU BETTER WORK BITCH!
Mannequin Factory
Porcelain Black
For this week, we have the task to send a song in the industrial genre.
Industrial is a very broad term.
Industrial in intself is a sub-genre of electronic music falling under the experimental category
alongside other genres such as glitch.
I think it'd be fair to clear the waters and define industrial music.
AllMusic (which is the largest music database) defines industrial music as the following:
Of course, there is plenty of room for interpretations. Lots of derivative forms exist.
But without further ado, the song I'm presenting you is Mannequin Factory by Porcelain Black.
The song is best described as industrial-pop - a fusion of pop music and industrial-metal.
The sound is a continuation of her previous music released on MySpace under the name Porcelain & the Tramps.
Her MySpace era is best described as industrial-rock, metalcore and emo. Her iconic raspy growls can be heard throughout the song.
The song mixes industrial themes with conventional pop elements such as the earworming synths in the chorus.
She is often described as the love child of Marilyn Manson and Britney Spears.
However, the song is not officialy released. It was intended for Porcelain's debut album, bearing the same name,
released under RedOne's label. A lot of parallels between Porcelain and Lady Gaga were drawn, most notably
describing Porcelain as an edgier manufactured version of Gaga.
RedOne did her dirty and leaked all of the recorded songs intended for the album resulting
in her departure from the label and going independent. The long-anticipated album was never released.
It's a shame because the recorded songs are really good.
I recommend Naughty Naughty, Pretty Little Psycho, Swallow My Bullet, Fuck Like a Star if you're interested. 
The lyrics of the song are the classic don't-give-a-fuck type of lyricism.
She sings about wearing what she wants and how superficial society is.
It's sad because we would never see the return of Porcelain Black as she has turned into a hip-hop direction.
homegirl is kinda problematic on twitter and is a trump supporter but we don't talk about that THE MUSIC BOPS

Oh, they wanna kiss us
Oh, they wanna dress us
We're beautiful, beautiful
Yeah, look at me
Tell me what you see
Am I, I a creep
Cause I, I don't even know
Are you impressed
Do you like my dress
Am I worst or best
Oh wait, I don't really care
No etiquette
What you see is what you get
Dressed in burlesque
While I'm hiding from the sun
Strut in the streets
Fashion on a freak
Look, look, look at me

Or am I too unique?

Screw a hole
Glue a stick
We're so Plastic
Are you, are you gonna come
Out with the best?
Not dressed to impress
My lipstick's a mess
Oh wait, I don't really care
Knots in our hair
We like what we wear
So they stop and stare
But that, that's what makes it fun
Different strokes for different folks
Different strokes for different folks

WEEK 9: YOU BETTER WORK BITCH
Shoot UP the Amazon Warehouse (Untitled_0026)
JOHNNASCUS
2:56+
The song itself starts in this vid at 1:07, so enjoy. Also, TW for shooting & suicide
This week, we were tasked with sending an industrial song. Miss AllMusic refers to this style as the "most abrasive and aggressive fusion of rock and electronic music" that was 'initially a blend of avant-garde electronics experiments (tape music, musique concrète, white noise, synthesizers, sequencers, etc.) and punk provocation.'" Additionally, "The first industrial artists experimented with noise and aesthetically controversial topics, musically and visually, such as fascism, sexual perversion, and the occult. Prominent industrial musicians include Throbbing Gristle, Monte Cazazza, SPK, Boyd Rice, Cabaret Voltaire, and Z'EV."
"Shoot UP the Amazon Warehouse (Untitled_0026)" is a song created by Austin, Texas-based rapper JOHNNASCUS. The rapper is a part of the larger collective known as Spider Gang. No stranger to controversial topics, as one of his most popular songs, made with his collective member Lil Darkie, is deadass called "SOUND OF GRINDING A POLITICIAN’S SKULL INTO A FINE POWDER". Cheers I'll drink to that. JOHNNASCUS has been described as "a true chaos incarnate", with his style being all over the map, but completely crazy regardless.
"I get depressed from pushing fucking boxes
I feel trapped in a box, bitch
My only option to be used up then thrown in the garbage
Disposable, like my income"
The song features a unique beat laced with a modified Amber Alert sound. This song was made to highlight the desperation which plague many people who have to work in dehumanizing jobs, including those at Amazon warehouses, with enviornments so miserable and dehumanizing that it makes people turn to violence. JOHNNASCUS has built his career alongside Spider Gang's trademark throwing away of musical rules, which is what industrial music sought to do at its inception. The song takes so many twists that I'll let the beats of this song speak for itself.
LYRICS
English
Hello John, welcome to work today at Amazon, how's it going?
Wait what are you doing with that gun? Please don't sh-
I'ma shoot up this motherfuckin' warehouse
Then I'ma kill myself with a bullet to the mouth
And my death won't be forgotten, I have planned this out
Already sent a hitman to Jeff Bezos' house
Helping NPCs to consumey, sume, sume
Time to blow this forest down with a huffy puffy poof
My soul has been sucked dry from the industrial vampire
I do not give a fuck now, I have failed at life so I'm two steps over the edge, yeah, I'm about to break
I'm so sick and tired of it
I get depressed from pushing fucking boxes
I feel trapped in a box, bitch
My only option to be used up then thrown in the garbage
Disposable, like my income
While Mr. Bezos getting richer
Warehouse workers die from covid
And now from me
I'ma shoot up this motherfuckin' warehouse
Then I'ma kill myself with a bullet to the mouth
I'ma shoot up this motherfuckin' warehouse
Then I'ma kill myself with a bullet to the mouth
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Even if you escape you'll be scarred for life
I wanna see your blood on that smiling symbol
Carve your face with the shards of an Amazon Kindle
Throw your head in a box then ship it to your kinfolk
I want you dead
I said I just want you dead
Mr. Bezos, off with your head
Motherfucker, I said off with your head
Feel like the rust in the machine
I've got the whole system failing (you bitch)
Kill all my co-workers
They're NPC's
Their death is null
Please, please, please don't shoot
I'm a single mother taking care of two little children at home
Please, they need me to live so I can be there for them and take care of them
I'm all that they have left, and I don't want them to go through a life of even more pain and suffering
Please, just don't shoot
Ow
Ow ow ow ow ow owww
My arm owww it hhh this hurts bad
Please, my children they need me
Please don't kill me please don't kill me no please no please no nononononononononononono
Well, I guess, this is the end of my life
Time to leave this world |

WEEK 9: YOU BETTER WORK BITCH!
OFF THE GRID
Rein
The Stockholm based electro artist, producer and label owner REIN was kicking off her career in 2016 with her self-titled EP and following through with the "FREEDOOM" EP in 2017, were she collaborated with the death electro founder (Owl Vision).
REIN has since amassed positive critical reception in her home country and got signed by Playground Music Scandinavia. Her unique sound and style led to two P3 Guld nominations (Swedish National Radio P3) in the categories "Newcomer of the Year" and "Dance of the Year" in 2017. Her hard-edged, explicitly anti-authoritarian, woman empowerment music has drawn influences from various styles, including old school EBM a la (Nitzer Ebb), electro house and techno.
"Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."
– Morpheus, The Matrix
The machines pulse and buzz with tension. Rein straps into the producer’s chair, jacks into the Matrix, and engages with her whole being. “Off the Grid” is the first sign of the new sound that the Swedish hard dance warrior has been developing together with co-producer, Carli Löf. The power of the bass is inspired by the proto-balearic sequences of Nitzer Ebb, but the combination of rhythm and rebellion is uniquely Rein. As she breaks the chains that bind her, Rein emerges as herself; more authentic and more melodic. “Off the Grid” finds her waking up to the Matrix and engaging the machines. It is the sound of the red pill being swallowed.
When industrial music first started to gain popularity, it caught the attention of the public because of its never-seen-before qualities. More extreme than punk, industrial music revolted against the very ideas of order and reason: it sought to strip away the brainwashing that was identity itself. It aspired to provoke, bewilder, and roar with independence. The core of industrial, is that the basic sound is just noise, converted into a rhythmic pattern. Common elements are noisy samples, for example machine noise, instead of musical instruments. It becomes a matter of appreciating the esthetic value of this modified noise. It is music where the bulk of the average person would likely consider it extremely ugly. In 1983, Jon Savage was one of the first people to suggest elements embodied in industrial culture. He proposed five aspects that he considered purely industrial: organizational autonomy, access to information, the use of synthesizers (anti-music), extra-musical elements, and shock tactics. To me, this song exactly captures each of the indutrial elements described by Jon - ugly yet upbeat, shocking, and serves us a powerful message.
I'm connected
Too blind to see
That my freedom is denied
They've tried to force me
Into a mold
Until I slowly suffocate
The lie I've lived
Held me controlled
Time to disintegrate
LYRICS
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away, get off the grid
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away, get off the grid
I'm injected
Where will I be?
When my memories collide
I'm connected
Too blind to see
That my freedom is denied
They've tried to force me
Into a mold
Until I slowly suffocate
The lie I've lived
Held me controlled
Time to disintegrate
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away, get off the grid
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away, get off the grid
There's a network
Underground
That is waiting to be found
A pleasant life
And a vicious lie
Is it too tangled to untie
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away, get off the grid
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away, get off the grid
Is there a better fate
That isn't hollow?
I gotta get away to seek the truth inside of me
Yes, there are better ways
Blue pills to swallow
I gotta get away to be the one I was meant to be
Gotta get off the grid
Gotta get off the grid
Gotta get off the grid
I gotta get away
Gotta get off the grid
Gotta get off the grid
Gotta get off the grid
I gotta get away
I gotta get away
I gotta get away

 SHIVA KINDETT EPISODE 9 • You better work, bitch!
Fleece
Crystal Castles
1:41+
Industrial music is a genre of music that draws on harsh, transgressive or provocative sounds and themes.
<<< Freedom is honesty
Freedom is hostility >>>
I chose "Fleece" by Crystal Castle for it is a perfect representation for the sub-genre of Electro-industrial. The harsh electronic sounds, distorted voices and sudden choruses just completely bang and the lyrics are representative of the Industrial theme aswell.
Lyrics
I lo-, I lo-
I need your fabrication
It's my pleasure to concede
Shear the false expectancy
Fueling their complacency
I love your-
I love your ambiguity
Revise antiquity
I love your-
I love your ambiguity
Revise antiquity
Freedom is honesty
Freedom is hostility
Take her from her diocese
Place her on the mantelpiece
I love your-
I love your ambiguity
Revise antiquity
I love your-
I love your ambiguity
Revise antiquity
I love your ambiguity
Revise antiquity
I love your-
I love your ambiguity
Revise antiquity
Place her on the mantelpiece
Place her on the mantelpiece
Place her on the mantelpiece
Place her on the-
Revise antiquity
Revise antiquity

WEEK 9: YOU BETTER WORK BITCH!
Thrasher
SASSY 009
Originally a trio comprising of Sunniva Lindgaard, Teodora Georgijevic and Johanna Scheie Orellana, who released their hypnotic debut EP ‘Do You Mind’ back in 2017, Sassy 009 is now the solo project of Sunniva Lindgaard. One year ago, Sassy 009 shared her debut single ‘Thrasher’. In a bit less than three minutes, the artist is experimenting with so many textures and genres, sounding like if JPEGMAFIA, Smerz and Death Grips founded a supergroup
So what am I representing with this song?
► Industrial techno is a subgenre of techno and industrial dance music that originated in the 1990s. Characteristically, it incorporates influences from the bleak, noisy sound and aesthetics of early industrial music acts, particularly Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle. It is not to be mistaken with Techno Industrial, which is in essence similar to the power noise/rhythmic noise subgenre. The different terminology is used depending if one is coming from a techno perspective or industrial perspective, with Industrial Techno having more techno-inspired rhythmic section with many reverb and wall-of-noise or sci-fi effects, while Techno Industrial is closer to rhythmic noise in composition, with a distorted rhythmic section.
► Electronic body music (commonly abbreviated as EBM, also known as industrial dance music) is a genre of electronic music that combines elements of industrial music with dance music.
My fellow sisters already presented interesting representations of Industrial sub-genres such as Industrial Hip-Hop, Industrial Pop etc., so I decided to send a track that in my opinion (and from what I've read), is serving Industrial Techno/EBM flavour.
Lyrics:I thought I was lonely
I did, I did
Put my hands in the sand and all of me
Will be gone
By morning
By morning
I'm flowing my tears out
I'm flowing
Leaning on the edge
Freestyle (me-method)
I thought I was lonely (was-was)
I did, I did
You push my hands against the bottom
Soakin' in
Don't you come any closer
I'm about to go down
Stick with it
Push my button
Float with me on the ground
You got a reputation that's easy to kill
I'm seeking for the bottom of this
Natural skill
Leaning on the edge
Freestyle (freesty-style)
I'm about to go down, down (down down down)
All of me
I'm about to go down, down (down down down)
You did, you did
It's a trap, it's a trap
(It's a trap, it's a trap)
I thought I was lonely
I did, I did
