* {{Ambient}} / ElectronicMusic: Certainly more so that most of Nine Inch Nails' output, but still poppier than the Reznor/Ross soundtracks.

* KillTheOnesYouLove / KillItWithFire: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWbfgGDl6XE The video for "The Space Inbetween,"]] which shows Trent and Mariqueen as dead newlyweds in a hotel room - except that Mariqueen's DiesWideOpen corpse is still singing, even as her body catches on fire. Serious horror...

* ButICantBePregnant: Early touring plans had to be put on hold after the Reznors found themselves With Child.

* LoopedLyrics: A literal example in a song called (ironically enough) "The Loop Closes."

A NineInchNails side project formed in 2010, originally consisting of NIN frontman Trent Reznor, his vocalist wife Mariqueen, and his soundtrack-composing partner Atticus Ross. (Long-time NIN art director Rob Sheridan became a full-fledged member several years later, as well as contributing his passion for video-glitch art to the band's promo photos and stage setup.) The band [[{{ShoutOut}} named themselves]] after an album by {{Music/Coil}} (one of whose members, {{Music/ThrobbingGristle}} alum Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, directed several NIN videos).

(Long-time NIN art director Rob Sheridan became a full-fledged member several years later.) As of 2013, their recorded output consists of two self-released EP's (their self-titled 2010 debut and 2012's ''An omen EP_'') and 2013's full-length, Columbia-released album ''Welcome oblivion.'' The album was followed by a brief tour...and the news that Reznor would be reforming NIN for a fall tour.

* FaceOfTheBand: Mariqueen; in early promo photos, Reznor often made a point of turning away from the camera.

* YokoOhNo: Yeah, NIN fans are ''still'' pissed at Mariqueen for marrying Trent.
