Trent Reznor really has one of the greatest “maturation” processes of a musical artist that I can think of. His more recent work on The Social Network and The Vietnam War is such a refined, minimalistic version of the specific sound he started forming 20+ years earlier. Not all artists manage to mature in such an elegant way; many never end up quite matching their earlier works, or head into entirely different directions. Also, a fun random fact: Reznor’s uncle, I believe, ran a heating or HVAC company in the Pittsburgh area. You can still find the occasional industrial device with the REZNOR name on the side. https://partner.reznorhvac.com/en/as/products/product-unit-heaters-f https://partner.reznorhvac.com/en/as/products/product-unit-h...

These are very common in Canada still and anytime I see one I point at it and make the same joke “Looks it’s Vent Reznor” and my girlfriend has never once laughed. Oh well.

  If you keep doing it she's sure to get it eventually.

      I mean, compare "Spam" the Monte Python sketch against "Four Candles" (the Two Ronnies). Four Candles is hilarious the first time you hear it, but Spam only really works on repetition which is why the sketch iterates internally so it's repeated within itself. On the other hand while "Mastermind" (also the Two Ronnies) is hilarious if you understand the cultural context, you can get "Spam" with no context whatsoever, it's funny because they keep saying "spam". All to say - maybe the repetition works eventually? Ask again after a decade of marriage :D

When I saw NIN on PBS's Austin City Limits in 2014, I knew Trent had gone 'mainstream' in his maturity (with Robin performing too).. https://www.pbs.org/video/austin-city-limits-nine-inch-nails-sanctified/ https://www.pbs.org/video/austin-city-limits-nine-inch-nails... It only takes me 3-4 somber notes from a song in a movie or TV show these days to quickly identify it as NIN or Trent\Atticus. The latest was in the season 3 finale of Invincible... https://fandomwire.com/invincible-season-3-soundtrack-all-songs-featured-in-the-series/ https://fandomwire.com/invincible-season-3-soundtrack-all-so... Episode 8: I Thought You’d Never Shut Up Every Day Is Exactly the Same by Nine Inch Nails
