Nincel

Term for hardcore fans of American industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails. Nincels are set apart from regular fans by several factors, including:
A. petrifying social anxiety in any setting that doesn't involve jumping up and down shoulder to shoulder in a sweaty concert crowd
B. An extreme aversion to the suggestion of going to therapy

C. Celibacy caused NOT by unattractiveness, but instead by the fact that the only person on earth they even want to fuck is Trent Reznor.
Nincels typically own at least one vinyl of the award winning 1994 album The Downward Spiral and one piece of fishnet clothing. In relation to other music fans, they are united with Nirvana fans by a distaste for Hole frontwoman Courtney Love, and at the same time united with Hole fans by a distaste for Marilyn Manson.
Two people listening to Nine Inch Nails:
guy 1: no offense dude, but this sounds like VHS music from hell in the least listenable way possible
guy 2: i know right? trent reznor is a fucking genius
guy 1: you need help dawg i think you might be a nincel
