Korn/YMMV
< Korn
- Base Breaker: See You On The Other Side alienated some of the more "hardcore" Korn fans with its softer sound. The Untitled album was supposed to bring back the fanbase, but it didn't help much...
- Korn III seems to be doing the trick.
- The Path of Totality has stated this up again, with reactions the the bands new Dubstep sound being .... mixed, to say the least.
- Covered Up:
- Cameo's "Word Up".
- Also inverted: not by them; but the artists covering Davis' songs in Queen of the Damned.
- Ear Worm: "Fear is a place to liiiiive..."
- "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIT! I AM COMING UNDONE!"
- "Feelin' like a freak on a leash!"
- "Love sooong for the dear departed..."
- Funny Moments: From the Korn South Park episode.

Jonathan Davis: "Korn! Form of...corn!" |

- The video for "Twisted Transistor", where the band is portrayed by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Lil' Jon and other rappers.
- Gateway Music: The majority of metalheads in the 2000s became fans through Korn. This is a quality of all nu-metal.
- Memetic Mutation: ARE YOU READY?!? from "Blind".
- Misattributed Song
- Nausea Fuel/Nightmare Fuel:
- The video for "Right Now". It contains a disturbingly animated man mutilating himself in various horrific ways. The "highlight"? When he pulls his entire skull out of his mouth!
- Then there's the video for their cover of "Word Up!". The band member's faces on a bunch of dogs.
- The dogs are less disturbing than watching "Lloyd's Lunchbox" (name of the animation) set to Korn.
- The song "Pretty" is unnerving enough, but when you learn the truly horrifying story behind the lyrics, it goes to a whole other level.
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny
- Tear Jerker: "Daddy". The singer himself starts crying. The entire song is about child abuse. He comes close to it again in "Kill You", about his step mom.
- He also cries a little bit at the end of "Holding All These Lies." Of course, considering that Remember Who You Are was all about returning to form, one can't help but question if this bit of crying was genuine or done for the sake of nostalgia.
- Pretty sure the crying in "Holding All These Lies" is genuine. An interview by Revolver reveals this is the first time Jon has cried during recording since Life is Peachy.
- They also made a song called Tearjerker which was the final song for See You On The Other Side.
- He also cries a little bit at the end of "Holding All These Lies." Of course, considering that Remember Who You Are was all about returning to form, one can't help but question if this bit of crying was genuine or done for the sake of nostalgia.
