My Mother-in-law likes Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and Mark Bolan. She doesn't speak any English and comes from a culture where proto-punk never made any impact.
I think the parent commenter has a valid point.

I was attempting a light joke about how horrible it sounds. I'm much more of an 80s hardcore kind of guy anyway...
You've never listened to proto-punk, have you? ;)
Anyway, I make no judgement about Reznor being right or wrong. I think you're totally right, it's not surprising that 40 years later, a notable band's audience is large.
