personally, I never considered NIN as industrial band - Trent has intelligent ability to connect classic form of pop/rock with his trademark sound design which evolved in, I dare to say, "NIN genre" itself. His melodies were always catchy in a popmusic sense, but not too catchy..
I think it's a great approach to take recognizable, simple and widely accepted music form and to add something of your own, something never heard before. NIN music was always flirting with mainstream, but it had something that never belonged to it(kind of) - like crazy and never heard distortions and guitar sounds
Combining and merging various parts of different music genres tastefully is something I always considered as interesting...
