Nine Inch Nails, gothic or not?

[Rekka Argonis]

Hmmm, no not at all really....all the music i listen to is called Industrial Goth, most of it comes out of Germany, and little people even in germany know about it, in all reality, that is goth music, not NiN or Slipknot or things of that nature, of course this is only my opinion, but i believe my opinion to be true..>.>..

I personally think it's pointless to argue over the fact if a band is "Goth", "Emo" or "Punk", Just have your tastes in music and respect others choices.

I completely agree with you
Labels on people is just stupid.
I hate it when I walk by people in the halls, and they whisper 'goth'.
I mean..if you're going to label the person, then at least get to know who they really are.

But you are goth.

*grins to herself at all these people denouncing labels....who joined a guild that is for 'Goths' and thus labelling themselves as members of this sub culture or at least interested/acknowlaging it as a sub culture and label* Ahhh irony, my great friend and amusement maker

I love NIN but, they are industrial, not goth  

[~Octavia Sperati~]

Nope, they do not sound goth at all, just dark. I'd say they are an alt rock.

I hate NIN but you are right in calling them industrial. They can also be considered Industrial metal or Industrial rock.

If they're industrial, they fall into both those categories so...  

[candlelitkaos]

I don't think they are goth/gothic... But they are still awesome.

They aren't gothic rock... more industrial...but then indrustrial can be acknowledged as a subcategory of gothic music (as a whole).
Beh, everyone make their own minds up! xp lol

Agreed. I seen them in concert a week ago, very good show actually.  

[Veruniel]

Personally I don't consider them gothic, but they're not glaringly Not Gothic either. It could go either way, and it doesn't matter to me nearly as much as whether the music is good or not.

I used to love them because I was full of rage, and so were they. These days, though, I actually play them to cheer me up. When I'm grumbly, there's nothing like total, insane angst to make me laugh at myself.

lol  

[anime_freak777]

No,they're more Inudustrial/Alternative Metal.
