Trent Reznor Leaves Twitter

Posted on August 7, 2009 (Tammy)

Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor has left the world of Twitter, and just like Kid Rock, the singer expresses his hate for the latest social networking phenomenon. Trent said “Yes, I deleted my account and I’ll explain why since somehow someone apparently thinks this is newsworthy. Twitter seemed like an interesting way to quickly reach a large number of people, and people that seem to exist outside of the nin.com world of fans. Then… around the time news broke of my engagement, a faction of troublemakers showed up whose sole intent was to disrupt, harass, insult and incite…In a reasonably moderated community, these people can be made to vanish – on Twitter, it’s a free-for-all – hence they flock there. It depresses me to think my art and life’s work can attract this kind of scum…if that was your intention you trolling, cowardly pigs – you’ve succeeded.”
