    It's interesting how an artist like Childish Gambino can release an abrasive video like This is America and people go crazy about the art and message in the video, but when a band like Korn releases a music video with an abrasive message people are just disgusted and ignore the message.

      To be fair, that video has great cinematography and the message is clear and easy to understand for most. I look at music videos just like how I look at film so to me, This is America is a better shot film and a better written film than most of Korn's music videos. Most metal music videos are not great from a film and artistic stand point. Specially since most are just bands playing their instruments.

    I'm not the biggest korn fan but I fully get why they have such a solid fan base. Is because they confronted what was ignored by society as a whole. You'll have artist who have mentioned things. But korn just beats you down consistently with it. Once I got into heavier metal korn is just the surface of the Mariana trench of metal lyrics.

    Musically I'm also not a huge Korn fan, but I find Jonathan Davis' emotion to be very genuine. Which is why he won't perform "Daddy" live (aside from very specific times), because he wouldn't be able to genuinely recreate the emotion in that song. So I respect the artistic value of that.

    Music is subjective for everyone. I'm a big Korn fan for my own reasons. I think it's cool that even though they're not really your taste you still take time to understand/respect it for others.
    Also, the original video continues to show that not a lot of folks (especially our older generation) can stay objective with true meaning behind music, lyrics and visuals.
    Anyways, rock on Mike. 🤘🏻

      Also, even though I'm a Korn fan, and the music does get me moving, I take the time to get deeper with it. For them, it's obviously more lyrical. I do that with all the bands I listen to though, and it's one of the reasons why I like watching your channel and other reaction channels.

    Jonathan Davis on KoRn being classified as Metal (from Blabbermouth)
    "I've always had a problem with the term 'metal.' We never were that. I mean, just go back to the beginning when KORN started out. We came out of Huntington Beach, California, and they didn't know what to do with us. The first tour we went out was with BIOHAZARD and HOUSE OF PAIN. Second one was, I think, SICK OF IT ALL, ORANGE 9MM and us, and then we went out with, like, KMFDM. And we played shows with NO DOUBT, CADILLAC TRAMPS and PENNYWISE, and just stuck us all over the place. So I think that we went out and did all that stuff, and it seems like the metal community took us in. We were like the black sheep - we had no place to really go - and I really appreciate and I love the metal community. But as far as us being a metal band, a metal band, to me, is, like, JUDAS PRIEST or IRON MAIDEN - that's a metal band. I don't think KORN does that. I know it's something we do that's different. But I love the scene and there's some passionate people in it- really diehard fans. They don't care. If they don't like what you're doing, they'll let you know it, and I respect that about them and that scene."
    "I think we're just heavy rock. I mean, I don't like categories, period, but we're more of a heavy rock band than just straight metal. I'm coming from when metal was, like I said, PRIEST and that era… DIO and those [bands]… singing about swords and dragons, and I love that. You know what I mean? To me, that was real metal music, and I love it. Don't get me wrong. But when it comes all down to it, it's music, and who cares what the hell it is? If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. At the end of the day, that's all that matters."
    I don’t remember what interview this next quote was from, but he also stated “I always thought we were more of a Funk band”

    14:59 You bring up a pretty interesting thought. I think that in their generation, the outlet for angst was possibly classical music/opera. Obviously these elders weren't around in the 18th century but classical music was still pretty prominant in their time and was the outlet for a lot of angst back in the day. Mostly using harsh, loud vocal chops and word painting with eerie sounding chords. Gerald Barry, an irish composer was known for his absolute insanity in his compositions. And even more mainstream composers such as bach would use dark imagery in their music. Not to mention that classical music gets very commonly compared to metal in a lot of ways. And if you want to take a little more modern approach, Elvis was known as the BIG rebel who didn't conform and parents in the 50's - 60's said it was "the devil's music." Now we repeat the cycle in 2018 with modern metal and rap. Idk, it's my thoughts. Would love to hear your response - Red Wolf.

    Well not obsessive, I’ll admit that I really enjoy Korn (when it includes Brian Welch, self-titled to Take A Look In The Mirror and then Serenity of Suffering) their sound always intrigued me and have to admit simple, yes, but does it make it bad? No, they clearly have a passion for music and it reached many, I mainly just listen for the instrumentals, they’re lyrically interesting and I admittedly love Fieldy on the bass, not the best but i love his tone and way of playing, he’s simple but fits in so well and managed to stick out which not many bassists In nu-metal do, also was one my early inspirations for picking up bass alongside Tim Commerford.

    I think you don't like Korn, because you have such a "mathematical" approach of music. It hit me when you started talking about the lyrics as to how their sound was pleasing or not. I'll make a comparison to painting to try to explain better. As I understand, you are more of a Prog metalhead and from what I've seen, you put a lot of thought into the "aesthetics" and the technicality of the songs you listen to, like, the more technical the better (Correct me if I'm wrong!). This makes me think of classical painters who used Mathematics formula to determine what was the most "pleasing" proportions for a body and architecture etc. If let's say, Dream Theater would be compared to Michelangelo because of how technically good they are, Korn would be more of a Francis Bacon. The forms are grotesques, tortured, and are not beautiful at all but express a deep suffering. Likewise, Korn puts (or at least used to put) emphasis on ambiance and the expression of a deep suffering (a big recurring theme of nu metal bands I like). They do not aim for technicality but more on raw emotion!

      Agreed! I like things music theory but I do agree that KoRn should be seen from a 'raw emotion' perspective instead of a logical, pseudo-mathematical one.
      Besides, KoRn's music, if you listen to all the little parts, is way more complex than people think - there is a lot of intricate rhythms and nice dissonant chords and intervals going on.

    Korn is one of those bands that I listen to passively, if it's on in the car I'll listen to it but I don't go out of my way to listen to them. I do have to give Jonathan some respect though for the song Daddy, not on a music level but for putting his own pain and experience from something horrible and letting others know who went through something similar that they're not alone. I went through something similar and when I heard my brother listening to that album for the first time when I was around 14/15 and heard that song I broke down completely. It did hurt hearing something hit so close to home but it was also a release that I didn't know I needed. It also pushed me to actually tell my mom what happened to me years before.

The market is flooded and the labels are to blame for sigining these less talented people cause they know anything in hip jop has a chance to make money cause it is the hottrst genre for teens.

    Korn at the time of their popularity, were very different from the rest of the rock/metal bands at the time.
    Korn took early metal, and grunge then stirred it in a pot. Korn liked sounding out of tune, bring energy, being weird and dark in general.
    Korn’s goal was to make music that people can listen to and get a message out of and to relate and help people.
    Korn helped me a lot and why they’re my favorite band. Their sound fits my style, and I love the dark lyrics as it’s easy to relate too.
    I also believe why metal is hard to listen too is the energy of it.
    If you take a sad or dark song, and if you had Adele or Beyoncé sing it with their sound, people would like that because it’s more simple, it’s light, and soft. But if you took a metal band like Korn, sing the exact same lyrics, then it would be more heavy, intense, and like more brutal. Which can turn more people away, and people would believe they glorify it and then ignore their message.
    It really makes me upset because think metal bands are like affiliated with hell and stuff, but they’re giving out the same message like a hip hop or a rapper would but just in a different style

    Every 30-40 years, the most popular genre gets replaced. For example. Jazz (Early 1920s to Mid 1950s) was overtaken by Rock (Late 1950s to Early 1990s), and then Rap (Mid 1990s - Late 2020s),. The previous genre sometimes has a small revival 10 years after it was overtaken (Nu Metal in the Early 2000s & Alternative Rock in the Early-Mid 2000s), but then disappears again. The genre usually starts 5-10 years before it overtakes the next genre. Expect some type of music to start appearing now and slowly gain popularity until in the Late 2020s it overtakes Rap. I don't know what it will be, but we can speculate.
