** Ra Diaz. A worthy stand-in/likely replacement for Fieldy, or a soulless mercenary whose cleaner, more technical playing style completely misses the entire essence of what bass is supposed to be in Korn?

** The music video for "Falling Away From Me". After 3 minutes of seeing young boys hear [[DomesticAbuse their moms being beaten by their dads]], one of the boys opens up a glowing box and the band suddenly appears and rocks out loud and long enough, while locking the door, to help the kid escape from his [[WouldHurtAChild abusive dad]] and join an entire army of kids in his backyard!

** Ray Luzier was asked to learn five songs for his 2008 audition for touring drummer. Luzier learned ''thirty.'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRTZRQ-Uuio Here's his audition,]] which is so in-the-pocket that Fieldy and Munky just hire him right then and there. Luzier, of course, became a permanent member.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Considering how many metal bands ripped off the sound of the band's SelfTitledAlbum, it can be hard to believe that at one time it sounded original.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Korn suffers pretty heavily from this. Their [[Music/KornAlbum self-titled debut album]] was considered ''original'' at the time of its 1994 release as an earnest, raw, and commercial unfriendly take on AlternativeMetal. Being a mix of alt metal, grunge, groove metal, funk metal, prog metal, and hip-hop, there was nothing like it before at the time. However, when it became a [[SleeperHit sleeper success]], it spawned one of the most controversial genres in metal: NuMetal. The countless nu metal bands (and even alt metal bands that weren't part of the genre) that were influenced by them and saturated the market led to them not seeming all that original to someone who hears their music later. In fact, many metal purists will deny how massively influential they were, or would otherwise say the music was a negative influence. This is despite the fact that they were more-or-less responsible for salvaging heavy metal music out of underground purgatory.

* {{Wangst}}: Once again, a common criticism of Jon's lyrics.

* {{Wangst}}: Once again, a common criticism of Jon's lyrics. Jon makes it ''very'' clear in many songs that he had a ''[[CreatorBreakdown very]]'' rough life, so a lot of songs tend to be on the melodramatic side of things.
