he's still a massive nu-male.

this nigga named his kid balthazaar

Reznor's physique might have developed but he's still the same whiny, conceited, insecure nu-male he's always been.
Only now he's 50 and not 25 anymore and it's starting to get really embarrassing.

He may suffer from depression and anxiety but the guy was never afraid of speaking his mind.

he's still just a big ol' manchild though. still writes gay angsty lyrics in the most uninspired ABAB form which makes every song sound like he's writing the same depressing nursery rhyme over and over

his depicition in the afex aventurs comic strip is the most accurate and realistic I've ever seen, what an absolute chode

Me too, but I didn't like NIN back then. Trent is GOAT

>>74528853
so, he's the opposite of Manson

Trent was a drug addict that overcame addiction by being a fitness freak. Had nothing to do with this alpha/beta garbage.

>I don't understand why this shithole loves him and not the rest of the 90s edgy scene

Because Reznor has been trying extremely hard to fool people into thinking he's a "respectable artiste", and since the average /mu/tant in 2017 was born in 1999 they're too young to remember when NIN were treated as marginally less embarrassing and juvenile than bands like Korn or Coal Chamber.

That's because Pitchfork used to be a garbage publication with troll reviewers, to an extent it still is.

They change opinions as popular opinion changes in order to maintain a reader base. I used to have an image of them giving 10/10 reviews to Kiss albums and the writer said they removed those reviews because popular opinion on Kiss changed from when they were originally written.

Yeah what a fucking asshole for speaking out in defense of Josh Homme and his Australian fanbase, and having a genuine enthusiasm in a new form of media, along with the acclaim that came with it.

Not only are they cowardly, their reviews physically hurt to read and are often unable to digest with the poor stable of writers they have.

I know many former Pitchfork writers IRL, they're a bunch of brats that couldn't write a book if they tried.

>>74531649
I used to work in music journalism. It's a curse of the trade that most of those kids are more interested in portraying an image of themselves as connoisseurs of high art than actually listening to the music. If an artist is popular then the sites reviewers will rush to get to review their latest record. You don't get time to listen to and understand what you're talking about under those circumstances and end up just telling everyone what they already want to hear.

That's because it's an occupation of vanity and you see so many of these idiots say this or say that, and think that they actually understand what their talking about, or that their opinion has some significance.

And because they write for so and so publication, they will continually use that fact to prop up their own very damaged sense of self-worth.

>Can personally confirm all of what you've just said.
Dealing with these fucking people as a musician is hell, and requires amazing patience.

I have to listen to some self-important edgelord talk shit about me or other music that I like, stuff that required blood sweat and tears to make while all he or she has to worry about is their book report that is due, and for a measly freelancers check.

They bitch about everything too, and you know all of the skeletons in their personal closets, but you have to hold your tongue and act saintly, because them writing a hitpiece about you is death.

You never, ever, strike back unless you have enough dirt on them and their friends to bury them and their "career."

Musicians have to deal with more shit than these thin-skinned writers do, they earn their ego in that sense.

>>74531933
Trent?

>>74531933
Never been successful enough as a musician to have reviews written about me. I was cursed in being good at writing and thus have found myself surrounded by these people. They are itching for anything to write to get their name out their. You've got the right idea in not giving them the ammunition.

>>74531933

That's the game, most of them failed at being musicians themselves and have a lot of bitterness, and so they lash out easily. The really stupid writers lash out for no reason and it makes them look like petty, whiny idiots.

>>74532117
>I found the low-test male
Testosterone makes you deal with stress better. It's the hair trigger types that would be considered low test. Low test males are often controlled by their emotions and they can be baited extremely easily.

It's a surprisingly low-testosterone vib'ing album from someone who's been so high-test as of late.

>>74532324
I just went chronologically, there aren't that many albums so it's no big deal to listen to them all. The Fragile is probably the best though

no, only low-test beta males marry asians while being rich and successful.

>>74537037
I want to say it'd be good but I dunno if steve's and trent's styles would blend well together. Also, that's a lot of ego in one recording studio. So it'll end up like tapeworm, sadly.

You ever make it out to see Radiohead? I know you were lamenting missing them at the Hollywood Bowl.

out of context, but since it's come up

anyone got any advice on getting my music written up/reviewed? last album i put up got put up on bandcamp got new and notable next to burial and then i had a few publicists get in touch with me but fuck spending 800 dollars to get someone to send out emails.

Aayliah was a fan since Broken, and wanted to collaborate with Reznor

Reznor wanted to start a How To Destroy Angels after The Fragile was released and had earmarked Alliyah as someone to approach.

Life is complicated for Reznor
