I think industrial was always a pretty open genre, but it always had this interest in synthetic, militaristic beats. I mean, Cab Voltaire, Nitzer Ebb, Skinny Puppy, Controlled Bleeding, it's pretty easy to see how you get from that to NIN, early Manson, Rammstein... especially Rammstein, who are pretty much Laibach-lite. It's a shame that the genre has become associated with one narrow part of the early stuff, but I don't think it's necessarily a 'media contrivance' so much as it's symptomatic of the way that genres change over the years.
