often abbreviated as NIN, is the mind-child of Trent Reznor, an extremely talented musician who
has helped to shape the sound of modern music. Since his 1989 debut Pretty Hate Machine, NIN has been recognized
as one of the leaders of the electronic music movement, spawning many bands that have tried to duplicate their sound,
but have never really matched it. Known for his innovation and unique style, Trent Reznor has received such accolade as
one of the "25 Most Influential People in America" from Time Magazine and the "Most Vital Artist in Music Today" from Spin
Magazine.

Most nine inch nails music until now has been described as "industrial", "rock", "electronic", "synthpop", "metal" or any
combination of those terms. It is probably just safer to say that NIN has had a very unique sound that uses different elements
from all sorts of different genres of music. But perhaps one of the most interesting qualities of nine inch nails is that with every
release, the music is re-invented. There are similarities amongst all of his work, but they are definitely not just continuations
of the albums or projects that came before.
