I stopped with NIN with Further Down the Spiral so my contribution to this thread is limited. However, you mentioned that Reznor's work has become "mainstream". Being the frontrunner of electronic music about 17 years ago now, I'd say it was inevitable. I love industrial music, but have sort of lost interest lately. I get more satisfaction from electronica now such as Autechre, Mouse on Mars, Meat Beat Manifesto aka Jack Dangers (who has mixed some NIN), etc.
