Possibly. I guess it comes down to how you define or classify it. Like with film, I'm not keen on tarring things with the genre brush. The industrial stuff I listen to I feel is quite far removed from what most people consider 'rock'. At least by the majority who like to classify these things.
It's like with metal; there are so many apparent sub-genres, and a lot of them seem almost made up and sound the same to me. I couldn't pinpoint what is generally considered a doom/stoner/grind/black/sludge metal artist. If it's something I like then I'll listen. Simple. Classification just isn't my thing.
I know music fans can often get quite snobby and precious about these sort of things though, and by saying this, I probably already have a metaphorical bullseye on my back.
