So, a thing that I've noticed now that I'm basically an old man is that a lot of my old friends who were also into NIN when we were teenager, no longer listen to NIN. When I've asked them about it, the answer is generally something along the lines of "I grew out of that stuff".

But I never did. NIN have remained my favourite band for 20+ years now, and I'm yet to hear anything else that even comes close. It makes me wonder if I'm stuck in a state of arrested development (although I do think that NIN basically grew up with me). But it occurred to me to ask ETS, see whether others had the same experience, or whether they even had kinda moved on from NIN themselves but still stuck around because they remained at least slightly interested in NIN.
