The musical style “NIN” is a mixture of different genres. Although Reznor himself does not refer to his music as industrial, critics describe the band's style as industrial rock, alternative rock and industrial metal. The compositions use such techniques as rapid changes in volume, complex musical dimensions, as well as electronic instruments and other effects characteristic of industrial sound.
