[@redriderbbgun8018]

NIN came along at the perfect time. Jane's Addiction had just broken up and a fearless new leader was needed, who wouldn't be afraid to break society norms. Nirvana was great, they had the Seattle scene, but NIN created their own scene, if you will; a much darker scene.

[@Sindollx666x]

An interesting but little known NIN factoid relating to Jane's Addiction is on NIN's debut album, 1989's Pretty Hate Machine, they actually sampled Jane's Addiction & Prince for parts of the song RINGFINGER.

[@NoffisNoff]

"but NIN created their own scene", absolutly not =>Skinny puppy

[@sibbyeskie]

@@NoffisNoff I would say NIN took that little niche and made something quite different and more interesting, and certainly stands apart. Who else from that subgenre sounded anything like Reznor or his songwriting style? Fact is, none were nearly as talented. And I hung around a lot of these guys and they would admit it.

What a beautiful metamorphosis of sound and vision throughout the years-- I always loved the stuff I grew up with the most but the combination of presentation and image and art with such viseral, catchy, unique sounds and approach made my little teenage girl heart wanna absorb everything Trent Reznor played or produced. Probably one of the only artists I would drag my pneumonia riddled ass to on Halloween to see even though I thought it would probably kill me. But that was back in the salad days.

[@phntmsmshr]

For all of its esoteric imagery and production value-driven presentation, the video for Closer just doesn’t quite tap into the heart of our generation the same way March Of The Pigs does. This was so impactful to watch, Trent made being a rock star cool again after the grunge boom made everyone dress down in t-shirts and flannelette, and look at their shoes while playing for a few years.

[@canobenitez]

2 styles of directing, I agree with all you said, this might be more representantive of that era, but Romanek's "closer" itself has a lot of value on it's own. I watched that video as a kid (2004) and it certainly made an impression in me, I didn't know any about NIN back then but I never saw anything like that on TV. The second time I knew about Nin was Ghosts, and that was a big shock (the same guy that did Closer did Ghosts? I have to check this guy out). I've been a fan since then.I really like Peter's works, both musical (Coil) and cinematographical (he directed this video and also directed Gave Up).

[@Sindollx666x]

I've literally seen this video HUNDREDS of times, and I've never seen that end bit with the hand over the camera lens and Trent getting hair and makeup touch up. I remember being in 10th or 11th grade and the teacher had left the classroom for a decent period of time, but I can't remember why...Someone turned on the TV and MTV was on, and this video came on. I already was madly in love/obsessed with Nin and loved this video, and the excitement of seeing it in school where it felt taboo and forbidden was exhilarating. Plus everyone looked to me, as the leading expert on all things goth/industrial as I was the first extreme edgy 90s goth in the area. Those that didn't know me were afraid of me, especially teachers. _I learned from another teacher that a group of teachers (That didn't know me at my school) had a meeting about me because they thought I was a CULT LEADER._ Hahaha This video was a peek at the man behind the curtain of the mysterious underground world I was privy too, shedding some insight into whatever my peers had thought thus far about my life/interests. All I have to say is THANK GODS I GRADUATED THE YEAR BEFORE THE TRAGIC EVENTS AT COLUMBINE.
