...Nails has become the hottest ticket in America with songs like "Closer," heavily dependent on feedback, dissonance and violent lyrics ("I want to fuck you like an animal/I want to feel you from the inside out/I want to fuck you like an animal/You get me closer to God"). Dark, chaotic music videos that alternate with scenes of glorified murder from the likes of Snoop Doggy Dogg also grace MTV's frequent-rotation roster. The surging phenomenon is evident everywhere one looks; perhaps it explains the sudden trendiness in multiple body piercings and the resurgence of the tattoo...
