Korn (sometimes rendered as KoRn or [[Ko Яn]]) 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 (Music)|Rage Against the Machine]], [[Faith No More (Music)|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]].
