TW I wanted to explain a little bit about my experience with illness mental and physical and how it relates to this video if that's cool nsfw talk of pain and suicide yes I've posted this before but I don't think anyone saw so I'll try my own post

I've been ill most of my life and have had some traumatic stuff happen and deal with a lot of dark thoughts regarding both. The loss of my independence and the failure of my body can be incredibly demoralising. Trents lyrics help me feel less alone and I'm sharing this so anyone else who feels this way know that they are not alone. The imagery associated with Happiness in slavery show a man experiencing pleasure and pain while being locked in a machine, the artist featured in the video also dealt with chronic illness and his performance art was shocking but very relatable. Pain can feel like a prison and can take so much away but you can find happiness in even the smallest moments. The thought that Trent put into this whole album as a release of his pain and anger was truly masterful and I am so grateful to have heard his music. The anti system themes are also so powerful we often become comfortable in our slavery to the system but will only find true happiness in freedom fight the system, existence is resistance and being yourself is the most liberating thing you can do!

Trent is so well spoken here I admire his bravery to say this so publicly. We are all complicit in the system to some extent but we can chose to educate ourselves and become better

Trent Reznor on politics

In light of current/recent developments here a little snippet from a wonderful radio interview with Trent (October, 1992)

Big fan of Richards interviews

“Well, Nine Inch Nails is Trent’s band. Trent’s trying to make his music the best way he can think of. What am I doing in it? I’m not that great of a guitar player, I’m a great performer. Piggy was a great character, he was this crazy skinny guy on stage, I made him laugh. Trent, I used to make that fucker laugh 24 hours a day and just be his sidekick, his piggy, his goofy “come here piggy, what do you think about this? Ehh fuck it” you know? And I would go out of my way to be his, the extension of his chaos. I would be his right hand man and he wouldn’t wanna get himself in trouble but I would do it and he would go “Piggy, what do you think about that?” Like there was this day, Chris Vrenna had his… his laundry was all being put together and we were all in a hotel room and my bags had like shit all in it and everything is stinky and Chris Vrenna’s bag is packed immaculately and he’s like “Piggy, look at that man, doesn’t that just make you sick, look at how perfect he is, socks are in the sock thing and he’s got his underwear over there, he’s got his little dopp kit all set up, what do you think of that?” and I’m like “Piggy not like”. I would just go over and just attack it. Chris and I ended up getting into a huge fight and I threw him into a coffee table and he bled all over the place”
