I love nine inch nails ails

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago

I'll buff some nails today. To see if they won't peel.

I focus on the paint. The only thing's that real.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I don’t get it.

The text is a reference to a Nine Inch Nails song, which also seems to be where the place took their logo from.

Nine Inch Nails is a band, and that is their logo

Also the person's comment is lyrics to their most famous song. Except "a manicure" is originally "what you deserve".

I would absolutely not call that his most famous song. That would probably be Closer

Head Like a Hole was his first single and the song that got him popular.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Teeeechhhhnically Down in It came out first, but yeah, Head Like a Hole was infinitely more popular.

crazy that a heroin addled white 24 year old goth badly rapping over the sound of a cutlery drawer being rearranged didn't instantly propel him to stardom.

And the caption is a play on lyrics from their song "Head Like A Hole"

"bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve"
