I've always thought of Nine Inch Nails as "pop industrial".
Some of thier stuff is obviously different than others, but I can hardly think of a better description for Pretty Hate Machine than pop industrial. Broken is more industrial metal. Downward Spiral = pop industrial again, as is With Teeth. The Fragile kinda goes all over the place, but it certainly has it's industrial moments.
So where'd the goth come from again?

what makes this claim all the more baffling was that this was in eighth grade, when his perception of punk rock was Green Day and New Found Glory.

Hahaha. That is great. Apparently, American Idiot is just one boy's journey through the world of serial rapists. Once I find that album again, I am going to take another look at it with that in mind.
It'll probably be funner to listen to this time.

Industrial, yes. Hardcore, no.
Sure as hell more industrial than 'goth rock'.
Bear in mind I listen to a grand total of 2 industrial artists (:wumpscut: and Haujobb), so I'm hardly a fan, let alone an expert. So yeah, bear that in mind, but I'm still right.
Also, new stupid quote! I was listening to Brothomstates, which as not many of you will know are IDM. Think bleeps and broken drum machines. Not so much as a hint of any real instruments, or indeed much of a melody. A passerby kindly enquired "Oi, mate! Why are you listening to that classical shit?". I expressed suprise at his classification with a witty "What?". He elaborated with "You're listening to Beethoven or summat, ain't ya, dickhead?".
I felt suitably enriched by the exchange, and bid him good day.
The story is much better if you know the song, trust me. So here it is. Maybe you'll instantly think Beethoven, but I doubt it.

Well, with a name like Kieffer, your life is already screwed up unless your last name is Sutherland.

To be fair, "Only" was practically a disco-pop single.

This is true, Reznor may have a black heart but he can write catchy motherfucking melodies, and his music is pop.

Fixed is borderline nu-metal half the time.

Duh, he wears black a lot. Anyone in black is a goth.
Including me, despite the fact that I like Weezer.
KharBevNor:
I'm sure referring to Nine Inch Nails as industrial in the presence of a proper rivet-head would be an invitation to be vomited over. 'industrial pop' must be one of the most oxymoronic genre descriptions ever. I'd prefer riot-pop, which is what Angelspit call themselves, or just industrial rock, which it is.
Nine Inch Nails is to rivetheads as Green Day is to punks. You get my drift?
