I listened to TON's of industrial music during this time. While I won't 100% disagree TheTideMustRoll's thesis, I'd say NIN's DNA is pretty intertwined into the Early/Mid 90's Industrial scene.
The difficulty in putting brackets on "industrial music" is it ranges from dance hall industrial with bands like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb to Metal industrial with bands like Ministry, KMFDM and Circle of Dust. To me, NIN was somewhere in the middle. They were on par with bands like Front Like Assembly and Contagion
Same, I listened to a lot of Industrial at the time. One key missing is the influence of the engineer/producer Flood at this time. You can follow each NIN's sound by tracing it to Nitzer Ebb's album released just prior to a NIN's release This is not to take away from Trent but maybe to say he just did it better and with better vocals. But I guess you could say really they piggy backed each other's direction with each release.

I forgot what kind of a run that guy was on in the 90s-00s. Huge classic albums by Nine Inch Nails, U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey. (I thought he had a hand in Loveless, by My Bloody Valentine, but Wikipedia doesn’t say so. Although every producer/engineer in the UK toiled on that record)

It was (and still is) a genre filled with people who can’t sing or write hooks for shite. Not that Trent is the best singer, but the scene was finally graced with someone who could write solid pop songs.
Now I feel like industrial music is just a production style that any pop singer can attain with the right producer. Thats why it’s weird how bad that Halsey album NIN produced missed the mark.
Again, I’m on a pretty big Health kick right now with Rat Wars. It’s like someone finally hacked the code for Broken after 30+ years. Even then, it teeters out after a few songs
