Changes

The term "[[Nine Inch Nails]]" has been used in various cultural references, and as an otherwise unlikely phrase, is often assumed to be in reference or tribute to the band. NIN songs have also been used in many films, television shows and video games.

* Singer [[Tori Amos]] has alluded to Nine Inch Nails in her lyrics: "Precious Things" mentions "demigods with their nine-inch nails" and "Caught a Lite Sneeze" finds her "{making her} own [[Pretty Hate Machine]]." [[Trent Reznor]] sang back-up vocals on Amos' "Past the Mission." Amos sometimes included the opening line of "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" in live improvisations, sometimes with silly alternative lyrics such as "I hurt myself today/to find a jellybean." The term "[[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)|Starfucker]]" was used in Amos' 1996 song "Professional Widow" on the album ''Boys for Pele.'' Many believe that Amos and Reznor were more than friends, and Reznor has confessed that [[Courtney Love]] meddled in their friendship, causing them to drift apart. Some believe Amos's song, "She's Your Cocaine" is about the two of them. In 2014, Amos performed a live cover of ""[[Something I Can Never Have]]".

*Interpretations of multiple NIN songs are used on ''Westworld''.

*"Something I Can Never Have" is used during the credits of an episode of ''Black Bird''.
