Bakersfield, California (USA) (1993 – present)
Korn, occasionally typeset as KoЯn or KoRn, is a Nu-Metal band from Bakersfield, California, and is often credited with popularizing the nu metal genre. Along with other bands at the time, they have also inspired many other metal and alternative metal bands throughout the mid 1990s and early 2000s.
The band’s catalogue consists of nine consecutive debuts in the top ten of the Billboard 200, including a compilation album, Greatest Hits Vol. 1, and their untitled eighth album, released on July 31, 2007. To date, Korn has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, including 16.5 in the U.S., whilst earning six Grammy nominations—four of which they have lost.
History
Formation, Neidermeyer’s Mind demo, Korn (1993–1995)
Korn formed after the group L.A.P.D. folded, due to singer Richard Morrill’s drug addiction. Musicians Reginald Arvizu, Brian Welch, and David Silveria wanted to continue, and recruited guitarist James Shaffer and vocalist Corey Cinque and started a new band called Creep. Corey was soon dropped due to the band being dissatisfied with him.
In early 1993, the band took notice of vocalist Jonathan Davis after seeing his band Sexart and attempted to get him to join Creep. Davis initially did not want to join the band, but after consulting a psychic he decided to audition and then joined the band.[5] The band soon changed their name to Korn (After Jonathan was recruited, they decided to get a new name. Jonathan suggested Korn as just a brainstorm, but everyone else liked it.

32K here. And what the fuck, people? Is it that important what genre korn is? If anyone asks you what are you listening to and you answer "Korn", they'll probably know how it sounds. When people asks me, I just say: "Korn and other shit". Genres are irelevant. Like somebody already told: it should only tell you what to expect. BTW, Happy New Year! :)
