Nu-Metal artists who hated being called Nu-Metal - Part 1: Korn

[Zach.R]

Jonathan Davis is right, Korn is fucking Korn. They have their own sound where you know it's them when you hear them

[Xero__AU]

Nu Metal artists that hated being called Nu Metal: All of them

[rickyfinn]

Freak on a Leash was my fave from their catalogue if anyone wanted an unwarranted opinion lol

[McVllaiN]

Korn will forever be one of my favorite bands. They put on amazing concerts

[noahbrewer]

I bought the whole KoRn discography. All of it. From self titled all the way to requiem.

[jennybibian]

[jenyus]

I don't care what the metal elitist said, Nu Metal overall is awesome

[Emilylogue]

My mum loves korn she knows all there songs

[McKlunkers]

I swear every single nu-metal band hated being called nu-metal

[brandonsimmons]

Korn is their own genre. It’s called badass

[michaeldelazerda]

Literally changed my life... my style of guitar and bass became something different(along with Claypool, Martinie and Borland) ... hats off to those who made a sea of people mosh in front of me when I first saw them at 10yrs old

[Anarchy_Angel]

Got The Life is one of my favorite songs 😩🖤

[virusworld]

[murdockpt]

[Stumme-]

As someone born in 2003, Nu-metal might be my favorite genre of music. I’m high school, our weights teacher would play a lot of Slipknot, Korn, and Linkin Park.

[Emo_boy]

Bro there's nothing wrong with nu-metal. Like it's just a genre

[enigma_offixial]

Korn was just incredible for their first 5 albums, then there was a lull period with Take a Look in the Mirror and other albums after that, but since Serenity of Suffering Korn has been releasing fantastic albums and I'm excited for anything going forward if they keep the same style they have had

[BillyBoyGenius]

At some point he wanted the term to be "Groove Metal' which makes a lot more sense to me, a lot of Nu-Metal is danceable.

[Sasquatch]

In my opinion Sepultura's roots bloody roots from 1996 was the first nu metal album, even if no one realized it yet. Down tuned, guitars, primal/tribal vocals, hip hop/rap influence, etc.

As a kid I discovered Korn by watching the end credits of street fighter the animated movie which played Blind, few months later saw the freak on a leash video for the first time and shortly after that is when issues was released and that was the first album I ever purchased and I never looked back since then.

never imagined that anime would introduce me to my favorite band ever
