Grunge and post grunge just aren’t the most generally “fun” genres of rock music out there.

Views don't mean anything in that aspect. Most korn fans listen to their cds or mp3s and don't give a shite about streaming like younger people got into.
Probably has more views than Elvis too lol

feel they're lumped-in with lots of other faceless bands of that era (Breaking Benjamin, Seether, etc.).
No band of that time frame, no matter how talented, are held in very high regard.
I don't disagree with you, but I hate that this is the perception.
Chevelle and Seether are both very talented bands. One Cold Night is one of my favorite unplugged albums.

Those bands aren’t highly regarded for a few reasons:
1. Old enough to be dated, not old enough to be retro cool
2. Music isn’t super “fun”
3. All of the music is fully quantized and gridded, so folks who came of age prior to quantized music find it boring and lacking in energy (because there’s no natural tempo variation)
4. It’s not especially technically challenging or edgy, so music/metal gatekeepers don’t respect it
5. Critics at the time were largely obsessed with garage rock (The Vines, Jet, The White Stripes, The Strokes, etc)

System of a Down played shows with Korn earlier this year and had top billing, I'm not sure what more there's to say.
from 1994-2000 Korn was the more popular band I would say. After that run, SOAD was much bigger in terms of critical success and popularity IMO.

Toxicity sold at least 2,700,000 copies in the United States, and at least 12,000,000 copies worldwide. On November 27, 2002, the album was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. All of the album's singles reached the Billboard Hot 100; "Chop Suey!"

Follow the Leader is considered by members of Korn to be the band's most commercially–successful album, being certified five-times Platinum by the RIAA and having sold almost 10 million copies worldwide.

According to Warner Music Japan, KORN sold over 40,000,000 albums worldwide, including 16,500,000 in the United States and 780,000 in the United Kingdom.

Their album sales are neck and neck it would seem like. Both bands had great runs of success.
