It's been a long damn time since I've produced something for myself... all thoughts, criticisms and abuses are welcome. If anyone can come up with a good subgenre classification for this one, that would be groovy.

Intro is a little dull.
I don't care for your bass drum at all. Sounds like someone stomping a potato chip bag 
and not in a good way.
I'd layer a more thump type BD, either a 909 or another electronic, very synthesized sounding hit to this.
Your snare is a bit flat as well. It could use a layer that has a more ringy sound, and also another full sounding flat snare.
Overall your sound and feel of the track is really cool though. I think if you made the drum hits a lot cleaner and stronger this could be a really intersting song.
Not sure how to categorize this tho, wish I could give you a sub genre like you wanted.
On an off note, read Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things; What Categories Reveal about the Mind by George Lakoff

It's an attempt at using nearly raw noise and lo=fi sound blasts in an artistic fashion. It sounds a little weird, but I was actually going for that sort of sound on the drums, it makes me nostalgic. (I used to be in an industrial band, I was going for that crunchy edge as an alternative to the annoying super-crisp electronic drums my software always produces) Thanks for the effective feedback, though, it always helps.
