Industrial music emerged in the 1970s, providing a vibrant soundtrack to the era's economic decline and cultural oppression. Pioneers, including Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and SPK, drew inspiration from Krautrock, 20th-century art movements, and post-modern writers. They incorporated DIY attitude, mail art, and underground fanzines, and experimented with tape loops, homemade synthesizers, and cut-up techniques.
