OMG, when I saw the title, I was like, "no, our sweet boy!!!!" - ugh, I was bracing myself for the chorus... it was like when your kid leaves Kindergarten to go to school with the big kids.
This song was played so much during my twenties in the clubs. And whenever they played it, and that was often, everyone packed the dance floor. It was WILD!!!!!
Sometimes I really want to be alone But that's one state I'm never in Because I know that I've got millions upon millions Of tiny one-celled organisms living on my skin… A glimpse into memory organization... and the talented results of the paranoid.
My mom hearing this for the first time in 2020: “Do you let your kids listen to this song? Shame on you” Me: “Well this song’s from the 90s so actually you let your kids listen to it”. 😹😹😹
You know that song Johnny Cash did called “Hurt”? The original was NIN. I’m laughing so hard at your faces! Our innocent boy: his head is like whaaaa? but his body is feeling the beat.
This song isn't about the obvious. This is the 5th track on The Downward Spiral, which is a concept album - every song is continued from the previous song to tell a story. This story is about Trent's descent into a deep depression and his addiction issues. Trent Reznor has incredible talent.
Reminds me of a Depeche Mode song, "Never Let Me Down Again." It's about drug addiction, but I had a buddy who thought it was about gay sex. "Never want to get my feet back down on the ground." It was the 90s, what can I tell you?
This song grabs you by the throat from the start and doesn't let go! You should watch the official video for it. It makes it even creepier, but is really good and artfully done. It got a ton of play on MTV when it came out in 1994. The whole album is pretty dark. Thanks for listening and sharing. Peace from SF
This is not intended to be a song with a seductive message. It’s about someone who doesn’t feel like they are truly worth anything without that “thing” they need to feel alive. There is a sort of double entendre that can also be attributed to drug use. The lyrics of this song, though seemingly overtly sexual, can also be interpreted as having an addiction to either for the “high.” NIN has more than once played with the themes of the thin line between the two.
Indeed when you feel dead sometimes the feeling of pleasure for a moment can help restore yourself. But having a high feeling from various things can also achieve the same effect. Great song with great meaning
@@johndesalvo3969 But that's where it would have been placed. Hear those crunchy guitars all over the place? Industrial was considered a sub category of metal. Metal doesn't need to have it's purity protected. It means many things.
@@johndesalvo3969 Servo?? Why is it so hard to describe Industrial to non-listeners? Not rock or metal, but they're in its DNA. @JayveeTV Two months late, but Nine Inch Nails - Head Like a Hole, Gave Up, March of the Pigs, Hurt (not the Johnny Cash cover, though it's worth checking out), The Perfect Drug. The official videos for those are worth seeing, and give the uncensored official Closer video a look. And there are any number of other Industrial artists, if you like the sound. Most of them won't be found on the radio. The genre varies in sound about as much as rock, both between artists and over the years. Try Megalomaniac by KMFDM. It was an industrial club floor killer, and was on the Mortal Kombat: Annihilation movie soundtrack.
Jay, your face was priceless on this. You MUST watch the video to this, it is a strange & uncomfortable series of images that adds the perfect atmosphere to the song. Has a deeper meaning about self hatred & obsession that gets overlooked due to the explicit lyric. Great song, can't get it out of your head once you hear it!
Not messed up...im 56 and saw them in concert at Red Rocks Denver in 2018....FANTASTIC!!! My 33 year old daughter took me after I discovered them at 50 years old.
@@lreed1040 Actually industrial music predates those bands you named, Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire were already doing industrial music in the seventies., but of course they influenced each other, especially Depeche Mode got a huge industrial influence that you can hear coming into their sound in the years 1983 and 1984. And when you just take the industrial music from the 90s (NIN, Ministry, Die Krupps, KMFDM and so on), then they're as much influenced by electronic music as by metal as well. A funny note seeing your name: Lou Reed released an album in 1975 called 'Metal Machine Music' which is often named as an early influence on industrial music.
I was about to search to verify this info, cause I have distinct memories as a child of this song being one of my favorites despite being born in the early 90's. I could have sworn it was later, but I guess as a toddler this song was one of my absolute favorites.
@@lreed1040 well if you really want to go far enough back you have to look at the russian revolts of the 19th century I think? or I think Europe during their industrial revolution? sry memory escapes me.
That’s the best description: it’s like a roller coaster! It starts out with the initial drop, goes into a roller coaster thrashing, then ends abruptly!
Intense. Trent Reznor goes to some pretty intense, dark places. I love this song for those dark, angry times. You should definitely check out Down in It and Head Like a Hole.
As backwards as it sounds, NIN has always gotten me through my worst bouts of depression - I've always been really attracted to dark shit though, so it's somehow a benefit lol
OMG!! I had the same reaction!! Then I got tickled and started laughing!!! First for me! This is awesome!!! Great song!! Great reaction! I am now a fan!!
You know what is great about your channel... is that we all get to see you hear for the first time songs we all love (not expecting you to like half of them) and see your reactions. You look like me on these songs when I heard them for the first time!
You should watch the director's cut on your own time but FYI it has some NSFW scenes. Trent Reznor does all the music himself but has a band with him when he tours. In fact I think he uses local bands from the cities he plays in.
It's called "Industrial Metal", a combination of Electronic music and Heavy Metal. This song is NIN's biggest hit from their legendary album, "The Downward Spiral". There is no album in any genre that's darker than it. Other great tracks, "The March Of The Pigs", and "Hurt".
This was always a banger in the alternative rock clubs in the 90s. Great song, awesome groove. Also try "Head Like A Hole", "Wish", "Hurt", "Down In It", "Terrible Lie". All great!
GREAT song!! I love seeing people experience this song for the first time haha. You did not disappoint. 😂😂 This is an excellent track to dance to... its a fave dinner cooking/dish washing song for me personally haha Industrial Rock is how NIN is categorized.
Oh my!!!! I had to read the comments before watching because I was sure the lyrics would make you feel awkward. It turned out so much better than I expected. Your reaction had me laughing out loud, tears streaming at the same time I felt awkward and cringey. Darn you did a great job, really open minded and funny comments.
Trent Reznor is a genius. Appreciate all the different genres for what they are. I love the earlier stuff as well, try the Album Pretty Hate Machine ☺️
This song was basically the mating ritual of the mid-90s goth. It usually got played around last call, and if you were dancing/grinding with someone to this song you could be pretty confident in how the night was going to end.
"my whole existence is gone. you get me closer to god." even tho i'm an atheist , i TOTALLY know this feeling & have always loved NIN for writing those words & putting them to this music. just gorgeous!
My favorite band in high school! I married my ex husband because I thought he resembled Trent Reznor. This was a mistake, hence being my EX husband, but I still love NIN to this day! Others have suggested “Head Like a Hole” and it’s good. Probably the one (besides Closer) that people most recognize. “Wish” is great, “Burn”, “Physical” (hidden track on the Broken album)...all fantastic. Great reaction. Your face at the chorus was priceless.
Watching you react to this has made my whole day!!!!! Most of us are waiting for that "line" Just to see your face 🥴😵😬. But I love that you stayed with it 🎵🎵🎵
OMG your t-shirt! I love it!! Also this song makes me think of “Add It Up” by the Violent Femmes. You gotta hear that one! It was a huge hit in the 80s.
@Anna Gonzalez if we're gunna consider The Smiths I think we also have to include something by THE CURE too but I'd still love to hear something by Violent Femmes. Or even THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS, maybe play MY RACIST FRIEND, it's so hard to pick just one song...
Yes this is Industrial genre a style that was really popular during the late eighties and mid to late 90s ! Love hearing some awesome Industrial bands like Front 242 or Front line assembly and skinny puppy that’s was some badass music right there in that genre!
Industrial had some elements of metal but it is a stem off the Post Punk New Wave movements. It has more in common with New Order and The Cure than Def Leapard or Guns n roses! Its a combination of the late 70's and 80s Synth pop ?Gary Numan, Kraftwerk,Human League and Hardcore (direct decendant of 70's Punk) and the the darker New wave like Joy Division and Bauhaus..All of which branched out and evolved from The 70s Punk Rock scene.
@@cw5451 to put it bluntly, the song is about hate fucking. The lines "help me get away from myself" and "you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings" are the two biggest giveaways. Specifically, the concept album it comes from, The Downward Spiral, is about a man cutting ties from the physical pleasures in life and going insane. This song is about his violent sexual urges creeping into his mind and his desire for some sort of sexual release.
This song takes me back to 1994... 16 years old, driving around on Friday nights in my first car. I wasn’t allowed to listen to Nine Inch Nails at home, so The Downward Spiral (cassette, of course!) got a lot of play on the road. ❤️❤️❤️
NIN is classified as Industrial rock or industrial metal. Trent Razor did the original and remake soundtrack to the game Quake, Doom and Call of Duty III. He has done scores for movies like Social Network, Girl with the butterfly tattoo, Birdbox and most recent music for the TV series of The Watchmen. So he is big in the industry but maybe not well-known by name.
Every time I see a reactor react to this song, I have a little laugh to myself cos no one is prepared to hear those lyrics! Already smiling cos I know it's gonna be good 😂 🤣😂🤣🤣
Yes, love this song, love it even more when peeps react to it! “Hold up, wait a minute this is not what I was expecting, this man wanna do it all to this lady” 😂🤣
What a jam!! I love this. It was so different from anything I heard in the 90s.. this beat is fire. The bass, the ticking, all the cool sounds. Yes I moved with you all the way to my toes. You KNOW this is on your workout playlist now!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So glad I got to see NIN back in the day 🖤🖤 Down in It, Terrible Lie, Only, Head Like A Hole, and Hurt are my absolute favorites!!!! Obviously Closer as well!
Yup, industrial rock.... that mix of electronics and sound effects made the genre. Items gratin, scraping, ringing, cranking, tapping, and so on. You commented on the buildup.... NIN (Reznor) did amazing work with panning, layers, and spacial soundscapes during production, especially in the first few records. I’d suggest hitting up Ringfinger, The Becoming, Last.... Basically, the album The Downward Spiral backwards.
I have to admit, I’m hearing this for the first time like you Jovaughn, and the beat is what grabbed me too. Then as I’m listening further I realise that this song may have been the inspiration for George Micheal’s “Freeek” which he released in 2002. It’s the exact and similar beat and also very very provocative in its lyrics and the visuals, meaning the video clip to his song is equally mind blowing. Please please please react to “Freeek” and watch the video to the song as well. And yes, there’s 3 e’s in the title. 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️
great song! dig your reaction! One of the great things about "industrial" music back in the 90's was it was very dance-able, some great industrial nights/dance clubs in Toronto back then. The 2 members of NIN now do soundtracks, and won an Oscar for "The Social Network"
NIN are so unique, would love to see more reactions to some of their other songs. I’m afraid of Americans NIN V1 mix would be a good one to listen too also as it doesn’t have many reactions.
The Cat Sabbath shirt really adds a special touch to Jay's slightly uncomfortable reaction.
Or was he more shocked by the bad touch?
OMG, when I saw the title, I was like, "no, our sweet boy!!!!" - ugh, I was bracing myself for the chorus... it was like when your kid leaves Kindergarten to go to school with the big kids.
Well, he's all grown up now 😉
I wonder what he would think when he finds out this used to be on the weekend music shows XD
Just be glad he's not watching the official video. :)

Yes, I remember watching an interview with Trent and he was really annoyed by the misinterpretation of the song.
Indeed when you feel dead sometimes the feeling of pleasure for a moment can help restore yourself. But having a high feeling from various things can also achieve the same effect. Great song with great meaning
Pretty much every time I listen to this song I follow it with Big Scary’s Oxygen.
it's amazing when you listen to the whole album The Downward Spiral causes an indescribable feeling
Back in the day they would call this music "Industrial" but it fit in with metal and hard rock of the time.
More a combination of techno, synth pop, Punk/Hardcore, New Wave, Goth..so yeah Industrial. NOT Metal!!

Good thing you did NOT do the official video with this one- you would have definitely been distracted and 🤯! 😬😆. ❤️✌️
Oh you've def intrigued me
So glad I got to see NIN back in the day 🖤🖤
Down in It, Terrible Lie, Only, Head Like A Hole, and Hurt are my absolute favorites!!!!
Obviously Closer as well!
1994 I was a senior college DJ. I I ended every show with a NIN song. I loved your reaction.
I couldn’t help but laugh as you innocently walked into this reaction. Priceless! ❤️
I love this song 🎵.. loved your reaction ♥. Thx for sharing ❤.
Your 💡moment was priceless 😁. Too cute 😁
I am ready for your reaction, are you ready?
Yup, industrial rock.... that mix of electronics and sound effects made the genre. Items gratin, scraping, ringing, cranking, tapping, and so on. You commented on the buildup.... NIN (Reznor) did amazing work with panning, layers, and spacial soundscapes during production, especially in the first few records. I’d suggest hitting up Ringfinger, The Becoming, Last.... Basically, the album The Downward Spiral backwards.
I would say industrial grunge but it was the 90s where we officially mixed everything up , ahhh I miss those days ❤️
Should do Ministry "Everyday is like Halloween" same genre as NIN.
I second that! A great throwback song!
His reaction is absolutely priceless!
One of my favorites!! Amazing song!! Ground breaking at its time!!
The abrupt ending is because on the album this track merges into the next track called Ruiner.
I have to admit, I’m hearing this for the first time like you Jovaughn, and the beat is what grabbed me too. Then as I’m listening further I realise that this song may have been the inspiration for George Micheal’s “Freeek” which he released in 2002. It’s the exact and similar beat and also very very provocative in its lyrics and the visuals, meaning the video clip to his song is equally mind blowing. Please please please react to “Freeek” and watch the video to the song as well. And yes, there’s 3 e’s in the title. 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️
This was my club song back in the day when I lived in San Francisco. Love NIN. Thanks for your cool, honest review.
Lol why am I laughing so hard?? 😆 I couldn’t wait to hear what you were gonna say to this one! Lol
Jay your face reaction is so funny you was not expecting that hahaha
great song! dig your reaction!
One of the great things about "industrial" music back in the 90's was it was very dance-able, some great industrial nights/dance clubs in Toronto back then. The 2 members of NIN now do soundtracks, and won an Oscar for "The Social Network"
I was at Woodstock 94 and they rocked the stage and so did every band was the single best weekend ever in my life
“She let you do everything”!!! Best line ever! 😂🙈
Can't think of the 90s without this song. Classic 90s
it came out in the late nineties. I was in college. Big tune.
“Everyday is exactly the same”, “Only”, “head like Hole”, “Hurt”
Oh my gosh! I love the look on your face! I love your Channel! Thumbs way up, as always!
I’ve had so much fun watching Jay going through this
Ahhh i saw them so many times in concert. Sexy band.
NIN are so unique, would love to see more reactions to some of their other songs. I’m afraid of Americans NIN V1 mix would be a good one to listen too also as it doesn’t have many reactions.
Just discovered JoVaughn a couple of days ago, and what a great choice! 90s Alternative/Industrial legend.
