* Nine Inch Nails is referenced in the Phi Life Cypher remix of Gorillaz' "Clint Eastwood": "Now rearrangin' your whole skeletal structure then I find some nine inch nails to perform some acupuncture."
* Weird Al Yankovic has paid tribute to NIN more than once: "[[Closer]]" is parodied in the "Alternative Polka" from Bad Hair Day, and "[[Terrible Lie]]" and "Closer" in "Germs" from Running with Scissors.
* Following the feud with Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, in their 2000 song "Hot Dog" returned the lyrics of Closer, stating "You wanna fuck me like an animal/You'd like to burn from the inside." The use of the lyrics was actually meant as a tribute to Trent Reznor, whom Durst admires, though it is often misinterpreted as an attempt at "bashing" him. Reznor cleared the use of his lyrics with no trouble, and received credit in the liner notes for the song. "Hot Dog" also mentioned "A nine inch nail/ get knocked the fuck out" and two NIN song-titles: "[[The Perfect Drug(song)|A Perfect Drug]]" and "Closer".
* In Crazy Town's 1999 album The Gift of Game, the song "Darkside" contains the lyric "Devils eyes and nine inch nails."
* The MC Lars song Signing Emo contains the line "Industrial comes back/The pres. needs a NIN." MC Lars has stated he is a fan, but live often replaces NIN with Tool, a sign of the current relevance of Tool to the industrial scene..
