How old are you currently 2.0

Currently 36. I was 12 in 1994 when the Closer video dropped, and I was immediately equal parts fascinated, scared, and a little aroused. I told my parents I wanted a NIN cd for easter. My mom bought me PHM. I was pretty bummed that I didn't get TDS, but I ended up getting a lot of spins out of PHM. Later that summer, I remember telling my buddy Dan that I liked NIN when at his house between rollerblading sessions. He put on Broken and I was floored. Fast forward to high school and I was jamming Prodigy, ATR, Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin. Some of my older buddies on the swim team pushed me more into more industrial-esque stuff (Stabbing Westward, Powerman 5000, Static X) and then a teammate told me that NIN was dropping The Fragile. When that album came out I was hooked again. Really bummed I didn't try to go see the Fragility tour. By my senior year of college (2005), I began to search out past tours, setlists, and more - typically via NIN Hotline. That linked me to this community, and I lurked from '05 till about '06 or '07 until I registered.

I guess I've not posted here? I'm 30.

Listening to NIN since not long before With Teeth, about a year or two I'd say? So somewhere from 2002-2003. I think I remember hearing Closer on the radio before in probably the late 90s but I never knew or cared who it was. My taste in music was super shitty in elementary school.

So I was def in Junior High, i used to burn mix CDs with random tracks I thought were cool that I had got from WinMX. (anyone else, just me?) After I got more into Trent's music I spent many cold and dreary mornings listening to NIN at my bus stop with my discman, ignoring everyone and partially hoping the school bus would drive off a bridge or something just so I wouldn't have to go, this way I could just stay at home and listen to NIN all day from WinAmp on the computer.

Thank goodness for NIN because life would completely suck without it.

Ha. @thelastdisciple , I spent MY junior high mornings in 92 and 93 listening to Broken and Fixed and PHM on my walkman, at the bus stop and on the school bus.
