    In what way is this similar to Pearl Jam? I mean other than the use of the word "evolution" (which I heard a bunch of Darwin fans are pissed off about PJ ripping him off).

    Like PJ was the first to make a song about evolution.... This is in no way a rip off.

    i think MAYBE mitch is referring to the way the video is made? I Love korn either way. And everyone "rips off" everyone. Music makes the world go round!

    Every band rips of pearl jam, even then the 60's classic rock bands! When are you people going to realize that Pearl Jam is the only original band ever!!!

    I'm going to guess Korn don't/didn't really listen to Pearl Jam that much growing up. Especially Yield era and beyond. Think it can be chalked up as coincidence

    how is this similar to pearl jam again? the use of the word 'evolution'?

    little know fact: darwin stole that term from a pearl jam song.
    and like that... he's gone.

    Man, the more I hear about this Darwin character, the more he evolves into a douche bag. What was he? A Nirvana fan?
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Pretty good Korn song. But I love the video, and I completely agree. Have you ever noticed kids these days. These kids don't know shit and have no desire to. A friend of mine beleives this conspiracy that the iluminati are conducting this dumbing down on purpose so that there will be no resistance from the masses in America to the New World Order. Its kinda easy to beleive when you talk to these Disney and Mtv addicts. I definitely beleive that the average IQ has somehow dropped. The fact that the less fortunate are breeding more often may have something to do with it. But I think it has alot to do with the focus supplied to our children via television. Another thing is kids beleive in our government and religion completely, but they don't know shit about them. Not like they could use logic, anyway.

    And yeah, Idiocracy is funny. But it scarry how it represents the truth about our youth and their culture. Intelligence is starting to be "gay".

    Can I ask why, when there's real music happening out here, people are actually listening to Korn?

    I mean, seriously.
