...status of hardcore ringmaster Korn was even more precarious. The explosion of grunge sent dark, disturbing, angry metal back into the goth-loving, cape-wearing, motorcycle riding, Dungeons and Dragons playing pit from whence it came.

Trickle-down isn't a fast process, and it's hardly possible that the oil production increase was finalized, the taps turned on, and supplies replenished enough to lower prices so rapidly just one month after the group's decision...
