Wikipedia describes Industrial as (Obviously written by some cranky and pretentious music critic (if you look on youtube most people just say GEIL and get it over with then again I'm sure those are the kind of people to sit on park benches and scare little kids...)) :
Early Industrial performances often involved taboo-breaking, provocative elements, such as mutilation, sado-masochistic elements and totalitarian imagery or symbolism, as well as forms of audience abuse. The typical themes of industrial music include decay, decomposition, disorders, helplessness, horror, irresolution, madness, paranoia, persecution, secrecy, unease and terror. Listener responses were sad, dark, anxious, futuristic, death, urban, violent and anguish.
...I don't that's entirely true...keep in mind this is coming from someone who listened to Rob Zombie in 6th grade before going to her cello lessons.... But industrial is not everyone's cup of tea. The only way I can describe it is really bassy, yelling, machinery sounding noise. Before you judge, try some out for your self..maybe start with something lighter before moving on to something hardcore.
If you were curious about the relation between industrial and Germany...
Germany has this huge music festival every year called M'era Luna in which all the goths or whatever go there and do there stuff and most of the industrial songs you'll find on Youtube have German lyrics.
Another thing I've noticed that's usually surrounding industrial are "cybergoths" who listen to industrial/electro/doomcore and are most noticeable by there brazing goggles/hairfalls/gas masks.
I think that's all I have to say...
Here are some links if you're interested!
(I tried finding one with minimal lyrics because they're sometimes inappropreiete and it's hard to find lyrics that are translated, though I think the ones here are in english..they may be slightly violent, but then again I usually end up tuning it out halfway so I'm not entirely sure...)
