To understand why OK.ru users were obsessively uploading and watching Incubus content in 2021, you have to rewind to the summer of 2002. Incubus was at the apex of their career. Following the massive success of Make Yourself (1999), the band dropped Morning View in October 2001. By 2002, the album was inescapable.
Incubus was formed in 1998 in Calabasas, California, by vocalist Brandon Boehm, guitarist Neal Avron, and drummer Jose Pasillas. The band's early sound was a fusion of alternative rock, nu metal, and post-hardcore, which resonated with the OKRU (On the Kooks' Radio Universe) community, a online radio station that catered to emerging artists. In 2002, Incubus released their debut album, "Fungus Among Us," which garnered attention from the OKRU audience and laid the groundwork for their future success. incubus 2002 okru 2021
