Trent Reznor on Nine Inch Nails’ Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination snub: “I honestly couldn’t give less of a sh*t”
Earlier this month, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released its list of nominees for 2019. In what seems to have now become a trend of disappointment, this year's nominations again snubbed a fair number of deserving artists. Among the many snubbed artists were Nine Inch Nails (NIN), who missed out on even making the long list for the third consecutive year. In an interview with Stereogum, frontman Trent Reznor was asked about the omission, and he made his stance perfectly clear: “I honestly couldn’t give less of a sh*t.”
According to Reznor, the honor doesn't feel like it's coming from an authentic place. He likened the Rock Hall to similar accolades like the Grammys and the Oscars to make a point. While the Academy Awards feel “like it’s coming from a much more significant place and from the community that’s honoring you,” Reznor said the Grammys and the Hall of Fame don’t carry as much weight.
