Decadent mainstream music

Amazing topic.

Kanye West "NIgga Heil Hitler" and "Cousins" are obvious recent ones

Nirvana "Polly"

The Smiths "Suffer Little Children"

Jimi Hendrix "Hey Joe"

Korn "Daddy"

The Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter"

Bruce Springsteen "Nebraska"

Pearl Jam "Jeremy" (the music video actually scared me when I was a kid)

The Associates "Dates and Numbers"

Geto Boys "Mind of a Lunatic"

Lady Gaga featuring R Kelly "Do What You Want"

Morissey "Jack the Ripper"

Captain Beefheart "Dachau Blues"

Sublime "Date Rape"

Definitely stretching the definition of pop music here but I actually love all of these songs.

Korn "Daddy"

Good one. That first Korn record is, for my money, as avant-garde as the first couple Abruptum records, the first few Today Is The Day records, or De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. The band's subsequent influence on popular culture and rock music has done a lot to obscure just how strange, innovative and, at times, genuinely shocking their first few albums still are.

It's hard to find something so genuinely heavy, while at the same time holding a mainstream appeal to it. Fisrt six albums are masterpieces - the other stuff I don't care for. Life is Peachy is noise as it gets, and Kill You track really does the justice of displaying traumatic parenthood experiences in an unnerving yet "catchy" style. Wonder what Mikko thinks about Korn."Ginna Heil Hitler"? Well, didn't seem it coming, heh.
