How is that sad? Too bad you can't justify your ridiculous comment. It's more sad that you're such a bigoted elitist. <<It really isn't, i mean there are people out there still buying Elton John and stuff like The Grease sdtk.>> Could you explain the connection between Elton John and NIN? And please use something other than just "they're both bad". I'm interested to hear your "well thought out argument". <<What's surprising is that people are still heavily consuming bad music.>> Why is that surprising? Plenty of people like bad stuff. But that's their prerogative. I'm sure you listen to music that some people classify as "bad". Who are you to judge? Or is it just "bad" in your opinion. Then perhaps you should qualify your opinions, instead of making vague comments out to be truths. <<Trust me I can laugh when it comes to Trent's music.>> It's good to know you have a sense of humor. Or do you? <<Among the "industrial", he is it's pop king>> Shows how ignorant you are. Nine Inch Nails is hardly "industrial". <<That seems quite likely considering the calibre of his music.>> Interesting... Since he takes plenty of time connecting his music thematically, and has rigorous production standards... As well as doing tons of takes to get exactly the sound he wants. I've heard different mixes of NIN songs that Trent has done.. And he's quite capable of producing "autechre" sounding songs if he wanted to. But that's not what he wants to do. <<Yeah but some people do it well.>> Once again.. What is so "bad" about his music, other than the fact that you don't like it? Is it the visible portion of the population that likes it (i.e. the high school kids wearing NIN shirts?), or is it something else? Is it because it's "trendy" to like NIN? Or is it something even more SHALLOW than that? Once again.. I challenge you to identify what is so "bad" and "sloppy" about NIN. Take it if you like, but if you don't, then obviously you don't have anything other than stuttering ignorance to back up your inane observations. You can hide it anyway you like, even under the guise of "i don't even want to bother getting into it." If you didn't, then you wouldn't have made those comments in the first place.
