Jason, the head-banging lighting operator, also known as simply Jason, is a mythical figure in the Nine Inch Nails community. Known for his elaborate head-banging motion that he exhibits at NIN shows, he has captured the hearts of thousands of people worldwide. It is widely accepted that Jason is the real reason why people attend Nine Inch Nails shows, although many theorize that some may actually be there to see that animal fucking band (also known as "that noisy homo NIN band").
