Issue
For some reason people keep slapping the #industrial genre tag on their creations, whether the creations actually have to do with it or not. I go to the industrial genre under Music and I don't hear industrial music, instead I hear people screaming into their mic, I hear songs that were recorded from a mobile device by another mobile device and then put up, I hear random annoying noises, I hear stuff that should go in the other genres, and I hear just mainly garbage.
Request
I would like to encourage artists out there to develop industrial music to fill the industrial genre with so as to bury the gangster garbage and the overall trash, as well as to actually make it worth every second of looking through that genre for something to listen to. I'd like the molarity of degeneracy to go down. I, myself, cannot make industrial music because I'm too noob at this even after 4 years of experience (yes, my profile's lifespan is significantly less than that, but this is my second account after my first one was taken from me by my school for some unknown reason).

On further inspection, the last thing I wrote might be what's going on.

Although, since not too many people are making industrial tracks here (or not categorising it as such). It might be that the charts are being overpopulated by randos just trying to see that beautiful, meaningless white-in-blue #1.

Industrial music has taken on so many forms by now, that I can't blame people for misunderstanding the origins of this music, so I feel we should be a bit less forgiving. It's not the same as the Reggae and other genres, where not misunderstanding, but chart chasing is the main drive for putting trap and hip-hop into these categories. I'd also prefer to hear people legit sampling power tools or banging on metal in a musical way in this category, but I can also not blame them for putting hiphop music on there, even if it's miles from even the work of Death Grips. (Similar to the hardcore charts.)

Wrong board
Oh boy, there's a ton to dissect here. Industrial Music is kind of vague. "True Industrial" like Throbbing Gristle and Einstürzende Neubauten differs a ton from what is now considered to be musical. Similarly to noise, you'd hear a lot of well, fairly directionless, harsh noises, quite similar to noise music. Not entirely sure if you want that in there, considering you seem to have a problem with people screaming and noises on tracks (very common feature in industrial music). Also the phone thing actually sounds like a weirdly interesting thing to do... That is, not in a copyright violation kind of way.
Anyways, industrial later spread towards many different genres. It had strong punk rock origins, but then, similar techniques and aesthetics spread towards many different genres (perhaps similar to noise music). One of the most prominent being EBM, Black Industrial Metal, dark ambient, hell, even industrial folk. Last, but not least, even hip-hop (and that's what you seem to have an issue with.)
There are very obvious Industrial hip-hop artists like Dälek or Death Grips, but that's where it being obvious stops.
