You do raise a good point: Genghis Tron themselves don't identify with cybergrind, but ... their music still IS grindcore type stuff over sequenced/Fruity Loops stuff... and every review/description you read says "grindcore meets pop". I think their first EP, which got me interested, was marketing by their label as "brutal truth meets Erasure" or something. So, I'd definitely lump it in there, though yes, it is a bit.. more metal than grind.

And yeah Agoraphobic Nosebleed wear out pretty quickly. I'd like to mention Gigantic Brain again here, because they have a sound that never gets old to me.

OH, I just checked the wikipedia and I might as well paste, it perfectly sums up our conversation here:

"Genghis Tron is a three-piece experimental metal band formed in Poughkeepsie, NY and currently based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania currently signed to Relapse Records. Genghis Tron is noted for their creative combination of metal and grindcore with different types of electronic music. Although early on the band was often classified as cybergrind, Genghis Tron has since developed a more diverse sound, which includes elements of IDM, power noise, doom, industrial, ambient, in addition to their core style of synth-laden metal/grindcore."

So, yeah, I tend to agree, their early stuff definitely is cybergrindy (with pop) and Dead Mountain Mouth seemed to move more into extreme metal kind of stuff, and I didn't bother with anything after that.
