Get the Angstmug. A form of experimental/industrial noise music distinguished from others by a semblance of rhythm and the presence of coherent vocals intended to carry a message. It is often used as an outlet for obsessions such as crime (as in the band Slogun, for example), and extreme political views; Thee Grey Wolves, for example, named themselves after a Turkish terrorist faction and convey an ostensibly anarchist message.
While the differences between standard experimental noise and power electronics are highly debatable, the differences usually include ones already stated, the types of noises used (e.g. "white noise" vs. "pink noise"), and the presence of themes in power electronics.
The origins may include, but are certainly not limited to, the famous self described "extreme electronic" group Whitehouse, who used their music as an outlet for their interest in mass murder, dictatorship, sexual violence, etc. , and early {Industrial band SPK, who proposed, in one of their "dokuments," that noise could be used to induce sensory and mental information overload to break down everyday rational modes of thought and lead the listener to new experiences and possibilities in thought.

Get the power electronicsmug. Contrary to popular definitions, Nihilism is not synonymous with cynicism or despair. Instead, Nihilism is a worldview in which one believes only in what one's observations and experiences seem to prove true, and that which can be otherwise proven true. That said, Nihilism varies according to the nature of the individual nihilist, but there are a few key ideas which are kept by nearly all of them:
1. The beginning of the universe was, within certain parameters, a basically random event, and the same holds for all events occuring since. It follows, then, that final purpose in things is false. Life, then, is an end-in-itself.
2. There exists no absolute truth regarding the value of any deed over another, such as right vs. wrong. Value systems, ethical codes, etc. are thus of no use to the Nihilist, except if they serve his best interests, increase their quality of life, or if they simply fall in line with what behavior would come naturally.
3. From the above it follows that responsibility, obligation, and the like are also falsehoods. Nihilists are thus inclined to ignore or sneer at societal norms and conditioned mentalities.
4. The first priority of every nihilist is his own well-being, satisfaction, and survival, and every action is ultimately done in the name of these things. However, he does not consciously pursue these ends; instead, he acts upon what feels natural and makes sense to him, and these naturally result. However, the above assumes that the Nihilist is in unity with himself, and possesses an undamaged psyche. In reality, some people are self-destructive by nature, and, if they took up a Nihilistic worldview, would seem to have a death-wish as the motive behind their actions. Since self-destructive individuals are common in modern society, this is probably how Nihilism has come to be seen as another word for despair.

2. Some Nihilists may even follow traditional dogmas, if they are proven to work for the best.

Get the Nihilismmug. (also called Apocalyptic folk)
A form of folk music which finds its earliest roots in Changes, a band consisting of Nicholas Tesluk and Robert N. Taylor, both members of The Process Church at the time, around the early 1970s. Their songs dealt with personal themes, as well as apocalypse and mythology, and were sometimes inspired by the duo's favorite books ("Fire of Life", for example, was inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's "Thus Spake Zarathustra").
During the early 1980s, following the heyday of the band Throbbing Gristleand the explosion of Industrialmusic, many bands related to the industrial scene began to develop a neofolk sound. Current 93, an experimental noise project headed by David Tibet, dropped noise music for a medieval sounding folk style with the release of the Album "Thunder Perfect Mind". To this day, David Tibet is well known for his dramatic falsetto voice and lyrics dealing with the occult(often in an extremely tongue-in-cheek way).
Death in June is a band considered to be equally influential, if not more so, than Current 93 in neofolk music. Their early lineup consisted of Douglas Pearce and other ex-members of the punk rock band Crisis. They have been highly controversial in much of Europe and the United States with their lyrics that often romanticize war, as well as their use of the totenkopf, the Algiz rune, and other symbols associated with Nazism.
Popular themes in newer neo folk acts include European myths(most commonly Norse and Celtic), the impact of the World Wars on Europe, occultism, medieval times, Fascism, romance, and occasionally more bizarre subjects such as sado-masochism(like Sweden's Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio).
Many neo folk bands also cite the French gothic novel Maldoror as a major source of inspiriation, as well as works by Marquis de Sade, Julius Evola, Friedrich Nietzsche,Aleister Crowley and in some cases even Adolf Hitler.
Newer neo folk acts include, but are not limited to, the following: Darkwood, Forseti, Kratong/Romowe Rikoito(kind of the same band really), Der Blutharsch, Ostara, Blood Axis, Fire + Ice, ...the soil bleeds black, In Gowan Ring, Allerseelen, Waldteufel, Luftwaffe, Sal Solaris, etc.
Though the neo folk scene is preeminently German and British, Italy has its own relatively new, and quckly growing neo folk scene. some of these bands have free and legal mp3s at www.neo-folk.it.

Forseti is a very good German neo folk band that pays tribute to an old Norse god by using his name for their band.

Get the dildosmug. 1. a form of writing, often employed by surrealist poets, done by thinking as little as possible about what one is writing so that the thoughts from the id, unhindered by the ego, may come through.

Get the automatic writingmug. a term describing a follower of a religion, philosophy, or spirituality that preaches things like denial of one's instincts and abstinence from worldly pleasures in order to attain some vaguely defined goal like "salvation" or "enlightenment"(e.g. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and some, but not all, forms of Judaism).
The term is mostly used by Satanists or other (non)spiritualists who believe in indulgence of the flesh. It may be used as an outright insult, a smug dismissal, etc.
