All my fellow edgy 90s goth/headbanger friends: "He called it 'Nine Inch Nails' because that was the size of the nails that were used to nail Jesus to the cross"
Then watching an interview with Trent in a documentary 20 years later: "I just thought it sounded cool at the time".
You are all wrong! It was always about manicure!
It's been like twenty years but I think Animorphs did this joke. I will say that KA Applegate made a good bet on which edgy teenage band would still be at least somewhat relevant decades later.
