What would you do?

If NIN had never existed then I probably wouldn't have gotten into electronic music. and uh. stuff.

If NIN never existed, I probably wouldn't really listen to any music.

I detest people who get suicidal when a band splits up. Not only is it sad, but it's extremely selfish.
It's not like bands split to annoy fans; if anything, they probably stay together longer FOR the fans. Most of the time, there is disagreements with members or they just go their own seperate ways.
If they stayed together just because fans would "kill themselves" the music would be nowhere near as good. It would be better to let them split, give them time to lick their wounds, and remember them for the amazing music they used to make. Just because they're not together doesn't mean you can't listen to their CD's.

On the issue of Trent dying; it's going to happen one day. Yeah sure, it's going to be a very sad day, and a loss of a talented musician. But haven't you ever seen The Lion King? It's the circle of life.

Wow, a Lion King referance, that's a new one. Lol, only true though.

That's because The Lion King rocks 3nodding

Lol, that it does.

And why would anyone kill themselves if NIN was never real? We'd never even know about them then, yeah that would suck, but we wouldn't know what we were missing.

That wasn't the question. You must have interpreted it the wrong way. "Cease to exist" mean what if they broke up.
