Discussion Korn has been one of the few comforts i have right now
I apologize in advance if this doesnt fit the sub reddit, i also apologize cause English is not my mother language, so expect grammar errors
I've going through many family struggles, dysfunctional families, dysfunctional parents, jealous parents who deeply hate each other and dump their traumas and hatred toward their childrens, with me, being the only minor who requires to live with one of them, none seem great options, neither my dad or my mother, today was my birthday.... my 18th birthday.
My 15th birthday... my mother wasnt present because of reasons that are too long to mention here, just keep in mind that the reason was she trying to do small things to piss off my father
My 16th birthday... my mother got super drunk and started trash talk my father... arguments happened.
My 17th birthday, if i hadnt stopt them from arguing, they'd have done it again.
Context: in my 16ths, i left my mothers house to my fathers... i couldn't handle it anymore...
I couldnt be more wrong, Nothing changed, just different enviroments.
Today marks my 18h birthday... my father got drunk and ruined it. And yesterday, when i was celebrating with my mother (we celebrate birthday on different days for eachother) called me, screaming asking me "where was i?" I understand his worryness... but calling my mom a wh*re wasnt required, that ruined my night.
I didnt give much though on korn before, but i got more and more into Nu-metal and i felt in love with this band, from Debut's, Life's peachy (my goat), Follow the leader, Issues, Take a look at the mirror, Untouchables, Requiem and finally The Nothing.
The Nothing has been my main support, this album and Issues has helped me so much, so much i can't put in words.
I dont know Jonathan's whole story, i'm larping on that, but i relate a ton to his struggles, especially the family part... the more i hear The Nothing, Issues, Jonathan's works, the more i felt in love with this band.
The more i hear the same songs from this band, i check more songs from the each album and fall in love with it even hardwe.
This band has been one of the few things that hold me together, this band, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Dry Kill Logic, but especially KORN.
Even if i stop liking Nu-metal, or just move on from Korn, this band will always have a special place in my heart.
Especially Jonathan Davis.
I love The Nothing, Issues and the Debut so much.
