 When industrial metal climbed the charts of the late 1990s , its sudden popularity was met with negative reactions from the early innovators of industrial music . Peter Christopherson told The Wire that he no longer felt any kinship with the industrial scene : " this is not me , this is not what I 'm about " . Lustmord , a prominent early industrial musician , declared that " Ministry just doesn 't interest [ him ] " and " [ he has ] no time for all this rock and roll shit they 're doing now . " Skinny Puppy frontman Nivek Ogre dismissed Nine Inch Nails as " cock rock " , but have since patched things up and have even performed on stage together .
