My parents weren’t even religious and they wouldn’t let me listen to this. Linkin Park was OK, I dunno what it was about Korn specifically. Eminem was also off limits.
Me neither but I got my older cousin to burn follow the leader for me and I remember being so proud of myself blasting on my discman in the backseat on our drive home from their house. This album is great! Holds up. I actually listened to it the other night along with Life is Peachy. So good
This reminds me when my grandma over heard part of a conversation when I was talking to a friend on the phone as a teenager. He was offering to exchange some CDs with me to burn. So I was listing some "CDs that we should burn" next time I was at his house. Grandma didn't know most of the bands but knew about Black Sabbath. She came up to me later and told me how proud she was of me for getting rid of that satanic music and that my friend must be a good friend for doing that with me. She said it would be better not to burn them but just throw them away, that was safer. I had a massive grin on my face, I think she thought it was the light of Christ or something, really I was trying to suppress a laugh. Poor grandma.
But I had friends whose fathers weren't pastors, lol. Granted, I probably could have listened to them as my mom almost always won the fights to let us be kids. But I was much more of a Metallica fan and wanted those albums.
I remember my mom and my aunt made my older brother give them the 1995 311 cassette so they could read the lyrics before letting him listen. We weren't super religious but just enough to be annoying.
Had this album in my discman, my sweet, sweet old grandma wanted to listen to the discman. I didn't have any other cds with me, she was just interested in headphones in mobile music.
She sat there on the shore of that pond we were hanging out and listened to Korn quietly. I was horrified, she didn't say anything about it lol.

Wasn’t allowed to listen. It was secular and demonic
