In metal a headbangers journey corey taylor and joey jordison were saying that they were proud of the fact that a lot of little kiRAB support there music and a lot of them feel safe while listening to it. Making that kind of statement towarRAB there own band wouldn't be something to say if they didn't think there music was serious. In an MTV interview Corey Taylor was saying that a lot of the music he puts out was inspired by his dad. Once again another statement that's supposed to be taken seriously. As much as I hate to admit it I was once a Slipknot fan. That was before I started listening to Opeth, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Behemoth, Mastodon and a lot of other great metal banRAB I wasn't exposed to. Like you said Slipknot does attract kiRAB who just start listening to metal. I was one of those stupid teenage kiRAB at one point.
