NIN more Goth: Discussion of goth influences and NIN

[katara]

@sonic_discord - I found it because I'm sometimes still curious and interested about goth crossing paths with Nine Inch Nails, and Accumortis's account turned out to be one of the search results on YouTube, but then I noticed that Accumortis also had a Twitter account, so I just took a look to see what he thought of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, and that's how I found that tweet.

This actually wasn't from a random search for Nine Inch Nails being referred on Twitter for me this time though, as I sometimes like to see NIN related tweets on Twitter, no matter who tweets them.

But yes, it certainly made me wonder as well. The crossover is absolutely undeniable.

I'd say the most goth thing NIN has ever done is cover Joy Division's 'Dead Souls'.

Well, there was also that one time they played an acoustic medley of "Strange Kind of Love" and "Bela Lugosi's Dead" with Peter Murphy in 2009.

This person quoted by @Halo Infinity doesn't know NIN's work well enough to make offhanded 'not goth LOL' comments, and the discussion of it constitutes drift from NIN Spotting (by my estimation, as long as the topic is NIN appearances/shoutouts in the news and not random social media).

Mind you, split into its own thread, tracing the goth aesthetic and its notable (or not) influence on NIN could be an interesting topic.
