Not massively into stoner myself, just remember it being part of my chosen life style at the time it was awesome seeing a band that I listened too loads in my teens still rocking out, at least 75% of them.
Friend of mine was big into them in his teens as well.
I was too busy listening to old skool metal then. Totally ignored bands like Korn until about 98 or 99 although they were very in when I was a teenager. Couldn't get my head round no guitar solos at the time haha
