Was Korn ultimately the hardest band of the whole 90s?
Even as the video starts, we are suspicious. Korn in a Ferrari?? Back then it was first just starting to become cliche for music videos to have a bunch of expensive cars and models in them.
But that’s not who these guys were. Even the tongue in cheek “get your boogie on”
was a clue. Like o hell no.
These guys are rebels to that kind of sell out fakeness. That’s what makes them hard. And they didn’t fuk around with that bs, they stayed true to who they were, hard riffs and hard catchy vocals.
Back in HS, Korn was the hardest group out. Nobody banged like they did.

Probably not a popular opinion but I think Metallica rocked the 90's.
The Metallica Black album was so good. It's 10/10.
Then you had all the grunge bands that were awesome. Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. The 90's just rocked overall.

No. Actual metal didn't stop existing with grunge, it just went back to the underground. There was death metal, black metal, thrash metal, speed metal, grindcore, hardcore, etc. There were hundreds or thousands of bands heavier than KoRn.

Lol took one response for Pantera. Pantera isn't music, it's just noise.
But yes there were loads of acts a lot heavier than Korn. Korn was successful because they found a formula for heavy music that was actually somewhat listenable for the average person.
