lmao the paradox of the chud NIN fan.

>I hate that I enjoy a band that has such a faggy fanbase but that goes back to my original point about the general themes of their songs so I can't say I was surprised.
The funny thing about this is that NIN is mainstream popular industrial music. But a lot of that stuff had "social critique" weaved into the fabric of the genre and that's usually going to appeal to people who think society is exploitative or unjust in some kind of way. It's way more political than gothic rock (which is usually very apolitical and is more about one's inner world), but it doesn't run on the same kind of emotion that punk does. Punk runs on rebellion but industrial usually doesn't have that kind of vibe, it's bigger on dystopian sci-fi themes.

Like that's the whole Year Zero thing which is a liberal attack on Bush-era stuff but it doesn't feel that way, he's not bludgeoning you with "Bush is an idiot" or "arrrgh Bush is mean" like whatever Green Day was doing back then. It's more like holding up a mirror which comes out of the avant-garde rather than telling you what to think. At least that's how I see it. It's like Dadaism.

Front 242 at the mall in the 1980s is funny
