Korn, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains.(my national anthem)…90s grunge…
Graduating in 1999 I only listened to rap, about 2001 I started listening to they by accident and quickly related to not only this song but the full Issues album, really got me through some tough times and 23 years later just saw them perform for the 20th time live
U need to listen to Daddy by korn
Recently, after watching this clip, I couldn’t hold back my tears. As a child, I was physically abused and lived in fear, expecting it to happen again every day. I was able to leave there and live separately from my parents, but I still can’t forget it. I don’t think about it, but the reminder of those times can awaken emotions in me. I just wanted to share it.
Korn is so good! They sing songs that are uncomfortable, and force it into the limelight, which is good. It needs to be out there and talked about. I wasn’t abused as a child, but at 16 I was pregnant and got married. My former husband mentally, physically, and sexually abused me. At 21 I left and got divorced. I did start standing up for myself and fighting back.
I remember being 15 or 16 and listening to this album on my discman
When this song came out, I was in the midst of an abusive relationship. This entire Korn album was there. One other album, Limp Bizkit “Significant Other”, was there to help save me. I eventually had to seek help. I had to be medicated. Then one day I got so angry i broke free of everything. The abuse. The meds. Everything. Now i listen to these song a full volume. I lose my emotions almost every time. Sometimes I have to pull over and just rock out in my car until it ends. Without them, I wouldnt be here today
i think there was a little wave where kids run away from home (in my around) at the time of “issues” i ask me why … ^^
Korn is touring, I dare you to get a lawn ticket and just sit back and enjoy the show and jump in the mosh pit.
Amazing review. This band was so important. Wonderful analysis. I love your message of rebuilding and recovering. We need more like you in the world. If you want to investigate another side of trauma, check out Lorna Shore Pain Remains 1 through 3. Have the lyrics up while you do it. It is beautiful and a gut punch at the same time, and exemplifies something we all go through…. I won’t give it away.
Music saved me too …
Giiiirl, your listening to Korn, get ready to unpack a whole lot of sad with old Jonathan.
@heartsupport if you read this or notice this message. you should listen to all Korn’s musics. Specially these albums: Korn (self-titled album), Life is Peachy, Follow the Leader, Issues and Untouchables.
She didn’t mean to, but my mom (her bf too, but he is straight up a disgusting person) caused me crazy trauma. The internet is the only place I can dump this trauma. I never talked about that to anyone that I know in person. I usually use hatred to cope with it. So much that I asked to people around me to never let me see my mom’s bf ever again. If I do I would end up in juvi for a while, and probably be transfered to prison when I turn 18 next year. It wasn’t sexual or physical abuse, but the worst case of psychological abuse I could imagine. Seeing my mom suffer so much made me “fall away from myself” at 14, when I was old enough to understand what she was and still is going through, being pushed and manipulated by her bf to keep doing hard drugs. He uses her for money, forces her to do things so he can buy his drugs. She tried to hide it from me, but she was too obvious about it. I also have issues feeling certain emotions while some others are emplified. I don’t feel sadness almost at all, my friend died and I wasn’t sad, I was enraged. I can only handle the pain through weed or destroying myself at the gym. My ego is also way too big, I will get a therapist once I live alone since I don’t want people to see me suffer, like I saw her suffer. I don’t want people around me to know I see a therapist. So until then, internet and working out like a maniac it is.
I thought becoming strong would help me, but it didn’t. I feel as powerless as before, except that now I have an escape but it’s something I would regret, and it’s vengence.
I don’t care if no one sees this, I won’t kill myself anyways, I see it as a sign of weakness more than as an escape. It just feels so good trauma dumping while anonymous.
As far as Korn goes you need to react to “Somebody Someone” and “Make Me Bad”
You definitely should do Hatebreed they focus on the negative and positive while most metal bands just focus on the negativity
well she should react to daddy from Korn
“It’s not seeming like a, goOod, situation…”
Please react to Neon Grave stones by 21 pilots!!!
Would love to see analysis of Mansons Mechanical Animals or Antichrist Superstar. Plenty of album analysis on a YT, but not from psychology side. U would sure like them too.
