===References to NIN===
==Literature and Comics==
* American author Stephen King quotes the chorus of "Hurt" in the opening pages of the final book of his ''Dark Tower'' series, ''The Dark Tower'' (2004). In an interview with [[The NIN Hotline]], he said, "I've always been a TrentRez fan—and Nails. 'Hurt' says all you need to know about what life takes away. What it ALWAYS takes away in the end. A song like that is a treasure because it vocalizes what we all feel but somehow can't say. Of course the Cash video blew me away, but that song (and the Bad Company lyric) have been in my head for a couple of years now."[http://www.theninhotline.net/news/archives/backissue/04/10#1097116302]He also referenced NIN in ''The Regulators'', published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.
* In book #12 of ''Animorphs'', Cassie tells Rachel that she told her mom that NIN stood for "Nice is Neat."
* In Marisha Pessl's ''Special Topics In Calamity Physics'', one of the protagonists (Milton) wears a Nine Inch Nails shirt ("He had rolled up the long sleeves of his Nine-Inch-Nails-shirt[...]").
*The game ''Divinity: Original Sin'' features an implement referred to as Nine Inch Nails. The item's description reads, "A handful of sharp iron nails. Closer examination reveals it would be a sin to waste them." If you make them into a nail bomb and throw it, the screen reads, "Looks like you're on a downward spiral..."
*The game ''Lost Records: Bloom & Rage'' contains a reference to "Closer", in the form of graffiti that says, "you get me closer to God."
*In Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, there is a main job (i.e. mission) named "Somewhat Damaged" in reference to the Nine Inch Nails song, additionally there is another job named "[[The Space In Between]]" in reference to the [[How To Destroy Angels]] song.
