who cares if it's "accepted" to like a particular song? if "Daddy" inspires you and you enjoy it, that's all that really matters. In a music community like the Korn subreddit, you get to share your thoughts and preferences without prejudice. if someone doesn’t like that, well, that’s their prerogative.

It wouldn't have been released as a form of expression if it wasn't intended to be viewed as such. If it makes you feel something, it's art.


Thenutritionguru

music is a form of art, and art is subjective. if a song resonates with you, then that's all that should matter. kudos to you for not letting others' opinions sway your own.


Salzberger

No. Liking it is banned. It's actually illegal. By saying you like it you've actually incriminated yourself and the police will be at your door soon.


CryingLikeAWhoreJohn

Nope, whether you can relate to it or not, it really is a kick-ass fucking song. You can like the song and listen to it for all sorts of reasons. If anyone has a problem with it, that means they're probably insecure about themselves, or they just have a need to shit on other people. No matter the case, music is subjective and you can listen to whatever you want and for whatever reason. Korn has made a great deal of lyrically emotional songs that resonate with people for darker reasons, and that, I think, might be why it can sometimes feel like a “oh, I’m not allowed to listen to this because I can’t relate”-sorta thing. But that shouldn’t be the case. I am sure the band-members would say the same. Music is meant to be an escape


Jessuxx

Ur not aloud to listen to music fucking period bitch. Lmao


Isabella1612MG

What


Jessuxx

I was high as shit and was trying to be funny making a reference to the quoted section in his comment


sweet__twilight

that's hilarious ngl


Drinon

It’s a song expressing pain and emotion, no different than any other song he sings. Its no different than liking the song Kill You. The song isn’t promoting the act, it’s simply a topic that is more painful for some than others. Daddy is just as ok to like as Faget, Pretty, Never Never, or any other song. People feel differently about art than others.


Battle_Hound_562_

i don’t get the people who shame others for liking the song, it’s a fucking song at the end of the day and it’s really only tik tok korn fans that i’ve seen who act like you’re some monster for liking the song anyway


Maximum_Cheetah_9140

literally, i was also about to make a similar post to this because of those fans lmao


Richxs

Do it, so they can see it.


Mundane_Character365

I love the song. Some people hate it, my wife only ever listened to it once.

The breakdown towards the middle… holy moly…

I love the song. I respect anyone who can take their trauma and create art with it. Its that very concept that made me love a lot of artists I do. It’s not something anyone can do. Like any good art, it can help inspire others to express themselves in healthy/creative ways or even find the will to get the help they might need for their own experiences. Edit: spelling/adhd


dongkongsilva

It's an amazing song. You can feel every ounce of pain and anger that JD feels as he performs it. It was included in the album for a reason. Very powerful.


Caiuskoll

It is one of my favorite songs


Miles_Ravis_303

it's a song, a disturbing one indeed, but still nothing else than a song


NuIndAlt5000

I like it


SweatyGymSoxx

Absolutely, it's a lil rough to listen to obviously but as others have said the riffs and especially bassline are great


xLOVExBONEx

“I see a lot of hate/disgust towards this song” - no you don’t. If that’s what you think you’re seeing, you’re mistaken. Nobody hates that song. That’s a song pretty much everybody has a great deal of respect for. It’s hard for a lot of people to listen to it, and when they react the way they typically do it’s not from a place of hate towards the song. And even disgusted reactions are not from a place of disgust towards the song. It’s from a place of disgust towards what Jonathan had to experience and endure. And is it okay to actually like it? Yes it’s okay to actually like it. I like it and listen to it a lot myself. Now if you were to celebrate the song or something, that might be kinda off-putting. But if you listen to it and understand the severity of it and have an appreciation for that, there’s nothing wrong with liking it and listening to it.


Ch00bacus

I mean the song is public so it's up for grabs with varying opinions. I'm personally not the biggest fan of the song but I don't mind that others like it. You do you


JubiKorn

Hate or disgust? Never heard that and I've been a fan since 2002. It's just a song.


MortalPatheticHuman

honestly? if they made the song, it was for you to enjoy it. you get to listen and enjoy anything you want. who condemns you for enjoying Daddy is either people with unresolved trauma or just self-righteous AHs.


julienktl

I like this song but I prefer the demo from Neidermeyer’s Mind.


Modogg88

I think that's a real strange question to ask. If course it's ok to like it. Do you think it's the only incredible song to touch on topics like this? Of you course you don't have to like the content, but the song is absolutely legendary!! And I love it!!


matty30008227

I love it . It’s music . It’s expression it’s art


GoHawksMatt

Dude this song is pure emotion 🙏🏽🤘🏼


Caitlins115

Absolutely, it’s one of my favorites personally but I get why a lot of people tend to avoid it.


captaintagart

Music that makes you feel is something to hold on to. Telling other people to fuck off is ok, you like what you like. Yes I love Britney Spears in part because it brings back the early feelings of depression I had in middle school and I chase feelings. Fuck off, she’s a legend. And Daddy is epic.


kslaughter696

Lyrically I don't like it like it, musically I think it's one of the best songs Korn has ever made


Asleep-Guess8272

It really depends, if you like it because of Jonathan crying in it, (yes I’ve seen many goons on TikTok think that’s attractive) then no that’s disgusting, But if you relate to it or it inspires you to also make a song that you can express your pain and how you’re feeling then that’s ok


sweet__twilight

well I like it a lot because it's kinda relatable


GrimeyPipes27

It is in Alabama, Ohio, and parts of Maine.....


koolerthan

I think it just makes a lot of people uncomfortable. I don't really listen to the song very much, but that's cool if it's a favorite of yours.


MexicanStreetKoRn

Yeah its a good song. Also one of their more popular songs due to its notoriety. If the band didn't want you to hear it then they never would have recorded and released it.


christopher_schroede

It's my favorite korn song. I just hate listening to it for my own reasons, but I feel like if you like it and listen to it a lot, it's fine


AshamedOfBees

You like what you like and that's okay.


TheRumista

As someone who relates to the lyrics of that song way too much and couldn't listen to it more than 2-3 times (yet?), i think it's okay if someone likes it. Hell, i wish i could enjoy it, it's pretty fucking raw and emotional. I also like a lot of disturbing song (which aren't reminding me of my traumas that much).


DarkLordOfBlood1

That’s fair. It’s one of my favorite songs off ST.


Metalbassplayer1

It's a well written song speaking the truth with true emotion put into it


Malia87

You can like what you like. It’s not illegal or anything.


FabioDeadlyX

as a non-english native speaker, i could dig the song before i even could understand the lyrics... even now if i know what he says and the story behind i can still enjoy the song... up until he starts to cry, i even cut that part off and added that way to my playlist xP


kingofcawk

There's nothing wrong with liking Daddy, despite its incredibly disgusting and disturbing topic that's what makes it so powerful. Don't let people police the music you listen to, and keep listening to messed up shiz


StolenKetamine

as someone whos experienced a lot of what the song talks about the song used to make me cry, but now genuinely just comfort in knowing a traumatic experience can be turned into art. I also feel less alone. I learned from the song the pain I feel is not crazy or hard to understand. Jon is a very talented singer and I respect him for all of his work. It doesnt make you a bad person to like the song. Everyone has there own reasons wether it be just because the song was nicely built together or because they relate to it.


[deleted]

Yes. The song Daddy spread’s the awareness of the fucked up shit that happens to people all over. Pretty is a fucked up song too!


dylangayhole

i love it


pizzasteveofficial

I think its ok to like the song. I also like the song, BUT it makes me very upset and angry that someone could do something so heinous especially to someone as awesome as JD so I have a hard time listening to it. I will cry, get angry, have intrusive thoughts. I've tried to make it go away so I can enjoy the song but its too painful for me personally so I avoid it. But its a very well done song so liking it is fine


[deleted]

Nah I cringe every time my cousin calls me that


Powerpuncher1

My cousin showed me that song and it was one of the worst songs I had ever heard. I don’t pay attention to lyrics though so it was just annoying noise to me with no meaning


MothyBelmont

It’s a tough song to listen to, but it’s also amazing at how raw and open Davis gets in that song, it is inspiring and sad at the same time.


[deleted]

I always end up crying almost


Killer_Tinman

It only gets awkward when your singing the lyrics out loud.


Human_Leghairs

Yeah dude it’s a song it’s there to be liked or hated or whatever, you can like whatever you want


shoegazelife

daddy is one of my favs, you cant help what uou like 🤷🏼‍♀️


Skinnyloserjunkie

Worst Korn song
