[[Korn]] (sometimes rendered as KoRn or KoЯn) is a [[Nu-metal]] band formed in 1993 from Bakersfield, [[California]]. Well, we say ''a'' nu metal band. What we actually mean is ''[[Trope Maker|the]]'' nu metal band. Korn are notable for being the first nu metal band - though others had fused [[Rap Metal|rap and metal]] before ([[Rage Against the Machine]], [[Faith No More]]), Korn were the first to play the <s>in</s>famous style of nu metal, adding angsty lyrics, downtuned guitars and funk-influenced bass playing and removing guitar solos. Korn's surprise success in the mid-nineties spawned a legion of similar bands that were more geared for the mainstream, resulting in nu metal becoming a separate genre from [[Alternative Metal]].
Korn themselves are one of the few nu metal bands to try and reject the commercialism of other bands of the movement (not that they're ''un''commercial, mind you). They even commented on this trend-hopping tendency with the title of their third album, ''[[Follow the Leader]]''. They also try and reject all genre classification, including rejecting the term "metal" to describe their music (though this had more to do with a dislike of being classified, period).
