Yes! Yes! Yes! I am loving this sound. I really need to dive back into industrial music. Not just industrial metal or industrial DnB but industrial pop fusions aswell... Great sound.
We watched the movie Under the Silver Lake the other day, which wasn't great, even if it had moments. But the band in the movie (other than the lead singers) was played by The Silversun Pickups, so I've been listening to them a lot since.
I honestly haven't seen BB2K (much as I love the original), but yeah, I love that bad movies can have great soundtracks and introduce people to new things. I was a BT fan for ages ("Hook" and "Runaround" were both huge when I was in college), and wish more people remembered them.
He and Tocchi, the guy I posted yesterday, are currently my favorites in the genre. It certainly used to confuse friends that would hear them without context!
I'm no expert on specific genre lines, but I would lean toward classifying them as K-pop. A lot of those groups do a lot of rapping though, so they could also be classified as hip-hop.
I don't recall you linking anything about them, I can't say I'm familiar!
