As much as I've enjoyed NIN over the years, it's love/hate. NIN was in so many ways the death of industrial music. I never really considered NIN industrial unto itself, just industrial influenced. Frankly, NIN is polished, clean, and melodic compared to the totally experimental, random and raw industrial that came before it - see early SPK, Laibach, Einsturzende Neubauten, and of course TG.
NIN is Trent Reznor. He is the entire "band" in the studio and live he has a fairly steady group of musicians he tours with. Atticus Ross produces w him and does do some contributing into songwriting/ production.
Nine Inch Nails is Industrial Rock. This song was performed and written, as most of their songs, by Trent Reznor. Trent did the vocals, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, synthesizers, and programming. Another artist who has a similar production style is Steven Wilson. Incredible song writer, producer, and mixer. Check out Insurgentes!
@Spooderman he writes all the music and plays keyboards, bass, guitar, dulcimer, programs, mixes, etc. His demos are just him and he has a band that obviously makes the tracks a lot better because they're some of the best players in the world. Bass Communion is a drone/ambient/electronic project he has that's pretty cool.
I totally agree...what he did set the standards for whatever came after. In fact this *_still_* sounds fresh to me after all these years since first hearing it as a kid when it came out.
This song is probably the culprit of millennial births. I love how into it you are...not just doing the usual head nod, your whole body was moving in your chair.
behold the genius of reznor. his creativity arrangine, writing, and producing is just out of this world. this song and the video are something that will give you nightmares and you'll love them!!!....'I wanna...."
This song will always remind me of high school, grade 9, there was this girl that liked me and use to sing it when ever she walked past me in the halls lol. Wish I could go back and start all over again, having your whole future in front of you with no worries. It’s so strange how the older you get the more faster time goes by.
PinkMetalHead! I just discovered your reaction videos last night. Its fun to watch your expression and emotions to these songs. I loved playing and singing these songs for a long time that you are discovering; and a lot of them are mind blowing.. I'm a musician and singer/music leader at church but for a long time I played in rock bands and this music can definitely move you; and your expression to Curt Cobain's version of my girl I felt you for sure on that one. Also your comment on Lane Staley from Alice in Chains and his passing these 2 men were both musical giants that sadly died too early. Thank you for sharing your emotions and expressions to these artists, your expressions are priceless and well spoken.
Did you watch the music video? It's disturbing but brilliant IMO. As for my favourite song from them, 'Hurt' is a classic for a reason (also recommended to check out Johnny Cash's cover of it afterwards!) and 'Every Day Is Exactly The Same' which as a more recent one.
Truly disturbing is seeing this version. lol It was done years ago and as a Trekkie I never laughed so hard while cringing in my whole life. th-cam.com/video/3uxTpyCdriY/w-d-xo.html As one commenter wrote ' this video is part of the music video exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, in Melbourne.'
"March of the Pigs" is definitely among my favorite NIN songs! You definitely have to at least listen to this one, even if you're not making a reaction to it.
xtop23 that's probably my favorite tied with hurt even though many of my freinds gimme shit for bashing techno garbage and march of the pigs and this is usually techno peoples favorite also but normal techno doesn't have anything they can compare to talent wise to march of the pigs. that song gets me up and moving no matter my mood or how tired
Here's some old school stuff to react to. White Zombie Thunderkiss 65 and Black Sunshine Ministry Jesus Built My Hotrod and Stigmata Melvins Honey Bucket Butthole Surfers Who Was In My Room Last Night Suicidal Tendencies Institutionalized Infectious Grooves Punk It Up
NIN is Industrial. Basically mixing traditional rock instruments with digital synth music. KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, and My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult are also Industrial bands. The Perfect Drug is an excellent song for you to try from NIN. The official video lends its imagery to the music quite well, if you are so inclined. Plus the drum break in that song is lit AF! Take my word for it. Another fun one to try would be I’m Afraid if Americans by David Bowie. You might be thinking, “Whaaaaaat?” That song is legit. All the music is done by NIN.
It's good to be able to see your vids, they let me have a nice moment and make me forget for a few the situation here in Mexico, but it's time to continuing helping my people
Nice reaction, PinkMetalHead. When listening to NIN, I find myself always returning to "Closer", "Head Like A Hole", "March Of The Pigs", The Day The Whole World Went Away", "Hurt", and "The Hand That Feeds".
For Nine Inch Nails, you should check out Head Like a Hole or Ringfinger. Their first album, Pretty Hate Machine, still remains one of my favorites and mostly because of those two songs.
7k Yeah! Well deserved. Wow hadn't listened to NIN for almost 2 years TY! Discovered them YEARS ago thanks to David Lynch. There are many versions of this song BTW. "March of the pigs", "Pretty Hate Machine", "Happiness in Slavery" , "Head like a hole" - this one is really HEAVY - and so many others, cannot pick one as "my preferred one" TBH. Take care o7
It's truly awesome to see your reactions to great music like this. It reminds me of myself discovering these bands when I was your age. Nine Inch Nails is considered to be "Industrial" which is similar to but quite different from heavy metal. They have an extensive catalog of great music spanning decades. Many have already mentioned great tracks. "Hurt". "Closer", "Hey Piggy". "Mr. Self Drstruct". "Only", "Wish" and these are others as well. Check out Ministry who is considered the grsndfsther of the genre. "The Land of Rape and Honey", "The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste", and "Psalm 69" are their best stuff.
So on your question as to NIN's sub genre. That's a Great question. Trent Reznor who started the band and is basically the whole band, started by being influenced by synth pop Human League, Soft Cell, and Gray Numan. In the early days they were well known for their live cover of Sex Dwarf by Soft Cell. As time passed Trent went for darker themed music. He has never left his synth roots, as a matter of fact all his albums are primarily synth based, drawing most sounds from a Minimoog synthesizer. As for genre. He is often put under the genre Industrial. Though some of his records are definitely under the genre of electronic. He is the fulfillment of the genre as it was pioneered by acts like Throbbing Gristle, and Cabaret Voltair almost a decade before Nine Inch Nails existed.
Considering you reacted to a live version during one of your streams, I was surprised to see this reaction last night. I'm glad you went ahead and uploaded a reaction to your channel though, since I was one of the people voting for some NIN. Hmm... I'm a big fan of NIN so I have a lot of songs that I consider favorites which includes: Home, The Great Below, No You Don't, Everyday Is Exactly the Same... Yeah, there are a lot more but those are the first ones that come to mind so I'll leave it at that. The next NIN song I would recommend to you for a reaction video is 'Wish'. The sound is a bit aggressive, but catchy at the same time.
NIN has been around for long enough (30 years now! Egad!) and covered so much ground that it's hard to pick out just one song. One favorite is "All Time Low" from a more recent album, Hesitation Marks. It's so tempting to pick something, anything from another album besides The Downward Spiral. But I'm to be perfectly honest, "The Becoming" is possibly my favorite song of all time. Leading into that, I think "Ruiner" (the song immediately following "Closer") has my favorite production of any recorded song. The way all of the elements come together is just -- 25 years later, I'm still picking it apart and learning something new every time I hear it. His least popular album, With Teeth, is one of my favorites. It's an experimental one for him, where he strips away all his crutches and tries to write simple rock music for once. His fans resent it because it sounds so different from his earlier work and lacks all the layering and nuance of, say, "Closer," but it's basically Reznor trying to reclaim his life after he just about died due to his life choices. So the whole thing is basically this stunned version of Reznor, wondering what to do from here, and it's one of the bravest things he's done, creatively. The confusion and uncertainty are so palpable.
Back in the day I was at a wedding reception with many older family members...you should have seen the mad dash for the iPod when this song started! Lmao
Nine Inch Nails is from the genre called industrial music. They just happen to be the one group from that genre that got big during the grunge era. Industrial includes Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242 and Revolting Cock's. Marilyn Manson's first big single "the beautiful people" is an industrial song too
just for information : NIN is solo project Band of Trent Reznor..it is he who composes, written , sings and plays all the instruments in the recordings of the albums in the studio.. the other members of the group change over the years and during the tours ,we can say that the oldest and his most faithful member in live shows is the guitarist Robin Finck..Reznor is considered since 30 years as one of the pioneers of Industrial Rock genre He launched the career of Marilyn Manson , he composes the music of the films for David Fincher & David Lynch ( he also won the Oscar and the Golden Globe in 2011 for his work on The movie "The Social Network" ) in 2013 he formed with his wife the singer Mariqueen Maandig a band called "How to Destroy Angels". in my opinion if you want to enjoy the videos of NIN it will be better live..it is one of the best bands in the world in Concert especially the period between 1994 - 2009 ps: i love your reaction videos and your new look... but I prefer you with The dreadlocks..kiss xxx
If you're into hip hop at all, the man behind NIN did an album with a poet/rapper named Saul Williams. The album's called "The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of Niggy Tardust!". Highly recommended.
Nine inch nils IS the sub genre!! Every Blum is unique in its sound and message yet Trent reznor always manages to put his heart and soul into it. Truly a musical genius.
Reznor would say they are an electronic band but NIN have always been classified as Industrial because of their hard rock guitars. Reznor's main influence is Gary Numan hence the collaboration between them in some gigs. The latest Numan material is really worth a listen for rock fans.
NIN is definitely Industrial. A very general category attributed to them is Alternative (from the 90s classifications), but - to me (and most NIN fans, I'm assuming) - Industrial is their genre. As far as a great NIN track, I think going earlier in their discography is the only way to start. Maybe "Head Like a Hole" or "Down in It" (off their first album, Pretty Hate Machine). Also, "Wish" and "Gave Up" off Broken are among my favorites of all-time. Love NIN! Thank you for bringing them into the rotation!
My fave song is Hurt by NIN the live version, but there best song, is probably all that could have been.oh there genre is called Industrial. #chocolategoodness
Even if not as a reaction video - PinkMetalHead should check out Hurt by Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash injected the emotion that only a man who has lived a long life and experienced many things more than most people have can. He was also close to the end of his life at that point. Trent himself has said (with respect) Johnny Cash made it feel like Hurt wasn't his song any more.
Nine Inch Nails has a 30 year catalog and you can virtually start anywhere you want. Just go into the music with an open mind and see what you get out of it. To sum up each release as follows to get a general idea of what you're going into: Pretty Hate Machine (1989) Industrial synth-pop dance rock album about Trent's angst about life, love, religion, regret, and sex. Broken EP (1992) Industrial metal/rock album about Trent fighting his record label over artistic rights and the fallout of new found fame; first release with Interscope after leaving TvT records The Downward Spiral (1994) a concept album exploring the self destruction of a man to his eventual suicide The Fragile (1999) Similar to 'The Downward Spiral' but sonically more experimental and art rock; exploring loss and struggling to live With Teeth (2005) rebirth of Nine Inch Nails; Pretty Hate Machine 2.0; Trent became sober and the album is more song based and introspective Year Zero (2007) another concept album that presents the listener with an alternate reality of America by the year 2022 under an oppressive government and fighting back; final album with Interscope Records Ghosts I-IV (2008) dark ambient meets classical music; cinematic scores; highlighted Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' work into film years later with The Social Network, The Girl With Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, Before the Flood, Patriots Day, and The Vietnam War; first release as an independent artist under his new label The Null Corp. The Slip (2008) released for free and still is; garage band style with electronics and ambiance Hesitation Marks (2013) a reflection of the past and experimenting with new styles; definitely the grooviest Nine Inch Nails album thus far. Returned to major label with Columbia Records Not The Actual Events EP (2016) and Add Violence EP (2017) the first EP from Nine Inch Nails in 24 years; a trilogy of EP's with a third slated for the end of this year. Atticus Ross joining the band as it has been Trent's project for almost 30 years. Post 2016 world with heavy lyrics and guitars; an accumulation of all works into three EP's. And remember, have fun ;)
What kind of music is this? It's called Industrial, my dear. It takes bits of electronica, and then twists it up into some parts metal and some parts common household items like pots and pans, sometimes the use of a tire iron, or steam sounds like that of a fire extinguisher, or static noise. Other acts of this genre that you should check out are KMFDM, Ramstein, and Ministry.
So, this is what Al Jourgensen from Ministry called “Trent’s Prince Song”. “Salvation through sex” is an old time blues theme. In this case, it’s industrialized.
Now here's the twist. Imagine a room full of screaming girl singing this at the top of their lungs. Yes, it did happen. You need to here their first release "Head Like a Hole"
So their sub-genre had changed a bit over the years. When they first started out, they were "industrial", but now they're kinda just "alternative rock" (in my opinion). Check out their songs "Head Like A Hole" , "Hurt" and my favorite "Right Where It Belongs".
OH! Here's another suggestion... The video "Come To Daddy" by Aphex Twin is sooo creepy & scary, but just sooo good!!! You WON'T be disappointed! I'm pretty sure Aphex Twin is the same, or at least a very similar, genre as NIN...right guys??? They (Trent Reznor & the Aphex Twin guy...can't think of his name right now) both are 1 guy that make their music/sound with computers...
By the way, I apologize for the *extremely* delayed responses, guys! I forgot how to get into my other account when I got a new phone & had to make a new one, been dealing with crippling depression...it's a long story. I'm not some heartless bitch, I promise! I hope you can forgive me haha. 😄 ❤❤
NIN is definitely industrial metal. One of my favorites is Something I Can Never Have, though that's one of the soft, melodic pretty songs he does. Actually, pretty much anything of of the Pretty Hate Machine album is my favorite NIN. BTW... I don't know if this is something someone has already commented on not but Nine Inch Nails is just Tent Reznor (I may have misspelled that) he lays each track down himself and mixes it together. When he tours he has to hire people to play some of the overlying tracks. Just an interesting bit of trivia for ya 😊 Anyway, yeah, I love this song. Thanks for playing it
I don't know if anyone commented this, but NIN is industrial rock. A genre which fuses elements of hard rock, electronic music, metal, and sometimes funk and hip hop (though not as often) elements. Trent Reznor(founding brainchild of the band) was very heavily influenced by artists such as Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears.
The single itself has been sampled various times, most famously by Limp Bizkit in the song “Hot Dog”, which also parodies other NIN songs: “The Perfect Drug” and “Burn”. Whilst the song discusses becoming “closer to God”, it is seemingly about sexual fulfillment, which Reznor equates to “being in heaven” or close to a religious experience. In the context of the rest of the song, the sex appears to be a form of escape from depression, like a drug. However, rather than necessarily being about sex, the whole song could also likely to be written in the same vein as the main theme for the album - self-loathing, depression and the road to suicide. In this case, the lyrics could be a discussion between Trent’s conscious and sub-conscious, or id and super-ego. Either way, it is a cool anthem about struggles with identity, abuse and belonging.
If you like early NIN, Tackhead and SkinnyPuppy might be worth looking into. Pretty Hate Machine and Downward Spiral was a juggernaut of early 80s funk and hip-hop influences (some even rip offs, Closer being almost entirely comprised of a heavily edited disco loop), this is how he made "Industrial" accessible to the US market / masses. Sisters of Mercy, Public Image Ltd (Best known for Johnny Rotten from Sex Pistols fame) or Killing Joke's "Love Like Blood" things in that vein of what was downstream from culture in the period.
Best NIN song for me is Hurt, very personal reasons. That whole album, The Downward Spiral, was very important to me when it came out. Troubled, depressed teen, etc. This one put words to my feelings and let me feel like I wasn’t the only one. Extremely good snapshot of the down and dark times. Also, a very good cover version by Johnny Cash years later. Love your reactions btw!
The closet genre core that I think you can link NIN to is 'industrial.' Industrial with experimental alternative metal and definitely some funk elements in there in this song Closer. ..electronic... Trent Reznor is a production genius. His sound was the main sonic influence of Kanye Wes'ts album Yeezus.
I think this was one of NIN's first hit songs. Trent Reznor has such a vision. I hope that NIN is around for many years to come. I think they are considered "Industrial", but you tend to find their music, on the airwaves, on "Alternative" music stations. If I had to pick a favorite, I would say "The Hand That Feeds".
They are industrial. Their breakout song and video that made people take notice to shock rock was "Head Like A Hole." Check out the young Trent Reznor.
Awesome that you're exposing yourself to all this awesome music..I'm 46 and i was in my prime when all this stuff was coming out...absolutely awesome time to be young. Good to see young people appreciating great music. You should check out Bad Brains...absolutely groundbreaking and awesome...Check out "I Against I"...EPIC
NIN was considered shock rock back in the day. Idk some people relate it more to Alternative rock. You should check out Various methods of Escape. Newer song but one of my favorites from them. Oh and love the hair btw.... Stay Awesome!!! :)
NIN is usually descriped as industrial metal. Any thing off of Pretty Hate Machine you cannot go wrong with, but for me Happiness in Slavery, Head Like Hole, and Closer are the definitive NIN tracks. You may also enjoy a German band called Rammstein (Du Hast, Engel, Mein Teil, and Keine Lust are all great tracks)
I gotta wonder how many kids were conceived back in the 90's to this song. NIN is considered industrial.
As much as I've enjoyed NIN over the years, it's love/hate. NIN was in so many ways the death of industrial music. I never really considered NIN industrial unto itself, just industrial influenced.

Riff Raff Trent says NIN isn’t industrial
Chronicles of Jojo bullshit lmfao. I have everything NiN has ever made. Trent is my idol. They are industrial.
Trent Reznor is a genius.
Chris Brown stole my comment!
Even as someone who was never a big fan of NIN, I must say there's no denying that Trent is a pretty damn incredible composer.
Trent is a god.
Hurricane Young good

Steve wilson ??? He has a piano, guitarist and a drummer that isn't the same.
@Spooderman he writes all the music and plays keyboards, bass, guitar, dulcimer, programs, mixes, etc. His demos are just him and he has a band that obviously makes the tracks a lot better because they're some of the best players in the world.

@@RandyLott Steve Wilson is like dummed down Tool with a lot more sad boy bullshit. His voice ruins it the majority of time.
The sounds and tones that Trent used in the 90's are perfect in my opinion. I miss that sound.
I totally agree...what he did set the standards for whatever came after. In fact this *_still_* sounds fresh to me after all these years since first hearing it as a kid when it came out.
I love that ur a beautiful black girl who loves metal
Thanks :)

This song is probably the culprit of millennial births.
I love how into it you are...not just doing the usual head nod, your whole body was moving in your chair.
You said it well...I have also stopped and thought that many current teens and young adults must have been conceived to this song.
behold the genius of reznor. his creativity arrangine, writing, and producing is just out of this world. this song and the video are something that will give you nightmares and you'll love them!!!....'I wanna...."
Did you just say " melanin popping, chocolatey goodness" ??? That made me giggle, luv you!
Haha xD Luv ya too!
One of best NIN song... Something i can never have.
S.S. Carlisle whoa, good pull
S.S. Carlisle yes. Played at obscene volume in a pitch black room
So good.
And something you probably don't want to have considering the context of the subject material...
I dont care for that one its so repetitive and such a amateurish piano line. I like into the void or le mer.
I still remember the interview with Trent after this album blew up.
"I'm just gonna go ahead and call my next album "Music for Titty-Bars."
This song will always remind me of high school, grade 9, there was this girl that liked me and use to sing it when ever she walked past me in the halls lol. Wish I could go back and start all over again, having your whole future in front of you with no worries.
It’s so strange how the older you get the more faster time goes by.

"March of the Pigs" is definitely among my favorite NIN songs! You definitely have to at least listen to this one, even if you're not making a reaction to it.

"Ringfinger" on Pretty Hate Machine,by NIN.

One favorite is "All Time Low" from a more recent album, Hesitation Marks. It's so tempting to pick something, anything from another album besides The Downward Spiral.

His least popular album, With Teeth, is one of my favorites. It's an experimental one for him, where he strips away all his crutches and tries to write simple rock music for once. His fans resent it because it sounds so different from his earlier work and lacks all the layering and nuance of, say, "Closer," but it's basically Reznor trying to reclaim his life after he just about died due to his life choices. So the whole thing is basically this stunned version of Reznor, wondering what to do from here, and it's one of the bravest things he's done, creatively. The confusion and uncertainty are so palpable.
The light on your face with that beat is fire.
Back in the day I was at a wedding reception with many older family members...you should have seen the mad dash for the iPod when this song started! Lmao
Have loved nin since my first ever listen I was hooked and such an amazing experience seeing them live
I love your hair 😊. Also, as for my favorite Nine Inch Nails song? I'm afraid that's hard to choose.
Nine Inch Nails is from the genre called industrial music. They just happen to be the one group from that genre that got big during the grunge era. Industrial includes Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242 and Revolting Cock's. Marilyn Manson's first big single "the beautiful people" is an industrial song too
Watching you groove to the song reminds me of when I got a lap dance to this song. Good times!
When the sun is on you,you look like angel.
Her facial expressions at the beginning of the song were perfect 😂😂😂
just for information : NIN is solo project Band of Trent Reznor..it is he who composes, written , sings and plays all the instruments in the recordings of the albums in the studio.. the other members of the group change over the years and during the tours ,we can say that the oldest and his most faithful member in live shows is the guitarist Robin Finck..Reznor is considered since 30 years as one of the pioneers of Industrial Rock genre He launched the career of Marilyn Manson , he composes the music of the films for David Fincher & David Lynch ( he also won the Oscar and the Golden Globe in 2011 for his work on The movie "The Social Network" ) in 2013 he formed with his wife the singer Mariqueen Maandig a band called "How to Destroy Angels".
in my opinion if you want to enjoy the videos of NIN it will be better live..it is one of the best bands in the world in Concert especially the period between 1994 - 2009
ps: i love your reaction videos and your new look... but I prefer you with The dreadlocks..kiss xxx
If you're into hip hop at all, the man behind NIN did an album with a poet/rapper named Saul Williams. The album's called "The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of Niggy Tardust!". Highly recommended.
theyre considered industrial metal alternative. head like a hole is badass, you should react to ministry psalm 69
Can't forget Just One Fix as well and Jesus built My Hotrod.
no doubt. just one fix.. "thieves" is great too ! ?
pink.. you should listen to some janes addiction.. " 3 days" or "then she did"
Nine inch nils IS the sub genre!! Every Blum is unique in its sound and message yet Trent reznor always manages to put his heart and soul into it. Truly a musical genius.
Really classic 90's track & YES true professional production. True artist for sure.
Reznor would say they are an electronic band but NIN have always been classified as Industrial because of their hard rock guitars. Reznor's main influence is Gary Numan hence the collaboration between them in some gigs. The latest Numan material is really worth a listen for rock fans.
You look great in the sun. Love your chocolatie goodness too. Love you and your music reviews.
Haha thanks for watching :)
NIN is definitely Industrial. A very general category attributed to them is Alternative (from the 90s classifications), but - to me (and most NIN fans, I'm assuming) - Industrial is their genre. As far as a great NIN track, I think going earlier in their discography is the only way to start. Maybe "Head Like a Hole" or "Down in It" (off their first album, Pretty Hate Machine). Also, "Wish" and "Gave Up" off Broken are among my favorites of all-time. Love NIN! Thank you for bringing them into the rotation!
My fave song is Hurt by NIN the live version, but there best song, is probably all that could have been.oh there genre is called Industrial. #chocolategoodness
Barry Johnson would that be the video or the version they did with David Bowie....personally I feel the Bowie version more
Hurt is amazing, but you gotta warn her it is a slow one. :-P
Franklin Scott yeah def the Bowie version is special
The Johnny Cash version is pretty good too.
Even if not as a reaction video - PinkMetalHead should check out Hurt by Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash injected the emotion that only a man who has lived a long life and experienced many things more than most people have can. He was also close to the end of his life at that point. Trent himself has said (with respect) Johnny Cash made it feel like Hurt wasn't his song any more.
Nine Inch Nails has a 30 year catalog and you can virtually start anywhere you want. Just go into the music with an open mind and see what you get out of it. To sum up each release as follows to get a general idea of what you're going into:
Pretty Hate Machine (1989) Industrial synth-pop dance rock album about Trent's angst about life, love, religion, regret, and sex.
Broken EP (1992) Industrial metal/rock album about Trent fighting his record label over artistic rights and the fallout of new found fame; first release with Interscope after leaving TvT records
The Downward Spiral (1994) a concept album exploring the self destruction of a man to his eventual suicide
The Fragile (1999) Similar to 'The Downward Spiral' but sonically more experimental and art rock; exploring loss and struggling to live
With Teeth (2005) rebirth of Nine Inch Nails; Pretty Hate Machine 2.0; Trent became sober and the album is more song based and introspective
Year Zero (2007) another concept album that presents the listener with an alternate reality of America by the year 2022 under an oppressive government and fighting back; final album with Interscope Records
Ghosts I-IV (2008) dark ambient meets classical music; cinematic scores; highlighted Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' work into film years later with The Social Network, The Girl With Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, Before the Flood, Patriots Day, and The Vietnam War; first release as an independent artist under his new label The Null Corp.
The Slip (2008) released for free and still is; garage band style with electronics and ambiance
Hesitation Marks (2013) a reflection of the past and experimenting with new styles; definitely the grooviest Nine Inch Nails album thus far. Returned to major label with Columbia Records
Not The Actual Events EP (2016) and Add Violence EP (2017) the first EP from Nine Inch Nails in 24 years; a trilogy of EP's with a third slated for the end of this year. Atticus Ross joining the band as it has been Trent's project for almost 30 years. Post 2016 world with heavy lyrics and guitars; an accumulation of all works into three EP's.
And remember, have fun ;)
I remember having the cd single back in the day which lead to a midnight adventure with two girls TMI LOL
So cute you reacted to a song that was released when I was a freshman.
In high school.
I love your reaction. The song got ya moving 😍
In Australia it was radio station Triple J's 1995 bonking song of the year.
Nine Inch Nails - Something I can never have (still) - live in studio.. emotional, powerful, personal
Your reaction was awesome. Love this song.
What kind of music is this? It's called Industrial, my dear. It takes bits of electronica, and then twists it up into some parts metal and some parts common household items like pots and pans, sometimes the use of a tire iron, or steam sounds like that of a fire extinguisher, or static noise. Other acts of this genre that you should check out are KMFDM, Ramstein, and Ministry.
So, this is what Al Jourgensen from Ministry called “Trent’s Prince Song”. “Salvation through sex” is an old time blues theme. In this case, it’s industrialized.
Your face, with the shade effect,
JUST WOW.
You are gorgeous, baby.
Now here's the twist. Imagine a room full of screaming girl singing this at the top of their lungs. Yes, it did happen. You need to here their first release "Head Like a Hole"
"Wish" Is my favorite NIN song. If you ever get the chance to see them live, JUMP ON IT!
So their sub-genre had changed a bit over the years. When they first started out, they were "industrial", but now they're kinda just "alternative rock" (in my opinion). Check out their songs "Head Like A Hole" , "Hurt" and my favorite "Right Where It Belongs".
Congrats on 7K subs; I know others have already said it, but you should watch the music video as it's interesting to say the least.
Maaan,the memories,you should hear it at a club. The bass. Yeah,gotten drunk,phone numbers and a lot of fun in the 90's. NIN is industrial rock
subgenre is Industrial Rock
Very late to this video, but your fave when Trent sings the chorus is just priceless.
That smile😍😍 truly drop dead gorgeous
OH! Here's another suggestion...
The video "Come To Daddy" by Aphex Twin is sooo creepy & scary, but just sooo good!!! You WON'T be disappointed! I'm pretty sure Aphex Twin is the same, or at least a very similar, genre as NIN...right guys???
They (Trent Reznor & the Aphex Twin guy...can't think of his name right now) both are 1 guy that make their music/sound with computers...
That is a really warped video. Like insane. So in other words awesome.
Aphex Twin is more like ambient or IDM (Intelligence Dance Music).
@@Attached-data1 Very warped/awesome, indeed!!! What's that saying? "There's a fine line between brilliance and insanity" ?
❤❤
@@KurdtKoebane1 Thank you! Much appreciated.
You learn something new everyday! 😉
❤ ❤
By the way, I apologize for the *extremely* delayed responses, guys! I forgot how to get into my other account when I got a new phone & had to make a new one, been dealing with crippling depression...it's a long story. I'm not some heartless bitch, I promise! I hope you can forgive me haha. 😄
❤❤
Hard to pin down a favorite Nine Inch Nails track, there are so many good ones. I'll throw a curve ball an pick something much more mellow: Zero Sum.
besides this jam, may i say youre so gorgeous. ..my goodness...so glad you're an open minded gal 💕
NIN is definitely industrial metal. One of my favorites is Something I Can Never Have, though that's one of the soft, melodic pretty songs he does. Actually, pretty much anything of of the Pretty Hate Machine album is my favorite NIN. BTW... I don't know if this is something someone has already commented on not but Nine Inch Nails is just Tent Reznor (I may have misspelled that) he lays each track down himself and mixes it together. When he tours he has to hire people to play some of the overlying tracks. Just an interesting bit of trivia for ya 😊
Anyway, yeah, I love this song. Thanks for playing it
I don't know if anyone commented this, but NIN is industrial rock. A genre which fuses elements of hard rock, electronic music, metal, and sometimes funk and hip hop (though not as often) elements. Trent Reznor(founding brainchild of the band) was very heavily influenced by artists such as Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears.
The single itself has been sampled various times, most famously by Limp Bizkit in the song “Hot Dog”, which also parodies other NIN songs: “The Perfect Drug” and “Burn”.
Whilst the song discusses becoming “closer to God”, it is seemingly about sexual fulfillment, which Reznor equates to “being in heaven” or close to a religious experience. In the context of the rest of the song, the sex appears to be a form of escape from depression, like a drug.
However, rather than necessarily being about sex, the whole song could also likely to be written in the same vein as the main theme for the album - self-loathing, depression and the road to suicide. In this case, the lyrics could be a discussion between Trent’s conscious and sub-conscious, or id and super-ego.
Either way, it is a cool anthem about struggles with identity, abuse and belonging.
React to NIN We're In This Together
If you like early NIN, Tackhead and SkinnyPuppy might be worth looking into. Pretty Hate Machine and Downward Spiral was a juggernaut of early 80s funk and hip-hop influences (some even rip offs, Closer being almost entirely comprised of a heavily edited disco loop), this is how he made "Industrial" accessible to the US market / masses. Sisters of Mercy, Public Image Ltd (Best known for Johnny Rotten from Sex Pistols fame) or Killing Joke's "Love Like Blood" things in that vein of what was downstream from culture in the period.
It's nice to see you groovin to it
Okay I'm only 3 minutes into the song and watching you listening to this..has absolutely brought me closer to God ..ooooohhh lawd!
Best NIN song for me is Hurt, very personal reasons. That whole album, The Downward Spiral, was very important to me when it came out. Troubled, depressed teen, etc. This one put words to my feelings and let me feel like I wasn’t the only one. Extremely good snapshot of the down and dark times. Also, a very good cover version by Johnny Cash years later. Love your reactions btw!
Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies-music video
Good call. But really, anything ST is bomb.
Or Body Count cover for this song!
the fuck you like an animal part is what everyone remembers but this song has much deeper meaning then that
hear them over 20 years,its like love it or leave it,for a starter maybe "the becoming"^^
The closet genre core that I think you can link NIN to is 'industrial.' Industrial with experimental alternative metal and definitely some funk elements in there in this song Closer. ..electronic... Trent Reznor is a production genius. His sound was the main sonic influence of Kanye Wes'ts album Yeezus.
I think this was one of NIN's first hit songs. Trent Reznor has such a vision. I hope that NIN is around for many years to come. I think they are considered "Industrial", but you tend to find their music, on the airwaves, on "Alternative" music stations. If I had to pick a favorite, I would say "The Hand That Feeds".
They are industrial. Their breakout song and video that made people take notice to shock rock was "Head Like A Hole." Check out the young Trent Reznor.
you look so pretty in the shadow of the blinds and the the light of the sun 😁
I love how when you listen to this song with headphones it goes from earbud to earbud at the end
Awesome that you're exposing yourself to all this awesome music..I'm 46 and i was in my prime when all this stuff was coming out...absolutely awesome time to be young. Good to see young people appreciating great music. You should check out Bad Brains...absolutely groundbreaking and awesome...Check out "I Against I"...EPIC
NIN was considered shock rock back in the day. Idk some people relate it more to Alternative rock. You should check out Various methods of Escape. Newer song but one of my favorites from them. Oh and love the hair btw.... Stay Awesome!!! :)
NIN is usually descriped as industrial metal. Any thing off of Pretty Hate Machine you cannot go wrong with, but for me Happiness in Slavery, Head Like Hole, and Closer are the definitive NIN tracks. You may also enjoy a German band called Rammstein (Du Hast, Engel, Mein Teil, and Keine Lust are all great tracks)
