| Trent Reznor: | ...in the age of over-sharing and hyper-real versions of people presenting and representing themselves on the web... That sense of, here’s the books I’m supposed to have read for the social archetype I want to fit into, so I’ll portray myself this way. I've seen that with people I know in real life, and I check them out online, it’s not always the same person. |
| DiS: | Is it the falseness of it you don’t like? |
| Trent: | I think the falseness is part of that. If you’re presenting yourself as false and you’re meeting people through the internet who are also portraying themselves not as they really are... I guess I’m just coming from an older school of: when you met people you met them. Whether you spoke to them on person or talked on the phone, when you interact with them it would be a real person and not some avatar of themselves. |
