Kids Korine first gained notoriety in 1995, at the age of 21, for the screenplay Kids directed by Larry Clark, a film that examines the lives of several New York City teenagers who are coming of age in the era of AIDS. Kids garnered good reviews, but due to its NC-17/unrated rating, few of its intended audience actually saw the film upon its debut. However, it has become a significant cult film. The film features Chloë Sevigny and Rosario Dawson in their first movie roles.

Gummo Following his fame with Kids, Korine directed and co-produced Gummo (1997), a film based on life in Xenia, Ohio, a town devastated by a tornado. Forgoing conventional narrative, Gummo embodies sketches written by Korine, hence the nonlinear, fragmented events over the course of the film capitalizing on the obscure. A contributor to the ingenuity and zeitgeist of the film, much of the cast was found during preproduction where it was filmed in Tennessee. Of all those who appeared in the film, only five were experienced actors/actresses. Although New York Times critic Janet Maslin deemed Gummo "the worst film of the year",[1] it earned Korine the respect of noted filmmakers such as Gus Van Sant and Werner Herzog.

The story, according to the Korines, is of "a young American man lost in Paris. He scratches out a living as a Michael Jackson look-alike, dancing on the streets, public parks, tourist spots and trade shows. Different from everyone else, he feels as if he's floating between two worlds. During a car show Michael Jackson meets Marilyn Monroe. Haunted by her angelic beauty he follows her to a commune in the Highlands, joining her husband Charlie Chaplin and her daughter Shirley Temple. A place where everyone is famous and no-one gets old. Here, The Pope, The Queen of England, Madonna, James Dean and other impersonators build a stage in the hope that the world will visit and watch them perform. Nuns fall out of airplanes and children ride pigs. Everything is beautiful. Until the world shifts, and reality intrudes on their utopian dream."

The bookjacket reads, "There is no place for plot, linear narrative, character development, or scene setting in Harmony Korine's audacious and original first novel, A Crackup At The Race Riots. The twenty three year old filmmaker has created a bold work of fiction, a montage that takes literary convention and explodes it in a sequence of half-remembered scenes, suicide notes, dialogue fragments, movie ideas, rumors, and jokes. Korine's eye and ear are exquisitely tuned to the absurd, to the hypocrisy and hilarity that comprise our national obsessions with death, dirt, poverty, celebrity, religion, and gossip."

Trivia - Korine appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman three times before finally being banned for shoving Meryl Streep in the Green Room in 1999. His first appearance, in 1995, was to promote Kids; his second, in 1997, was for Gummo; and his third, in 1998, was to promote A Crackup at the Race Riots. These appearances are notable for Korine's incoherence and deadpan hilarity, something also found in his director's commentaries and filmed interviews. There is some debate as to whether it is simply his persona or, as Letterman posited during his last visit, due to heavy drug intake.
- He originally intended to follow up Gummo with a short-lived project known as Fight Harm, directed by Blaine. Described as a comedy, it comprised footage of Korine engaging random people in actual street fights. In filming these fights, Korine followed a loose set of rules: his opponent had to be larger and stronger than him, he had to provoke his opponent into throwing the first punch, and the fights could not be broken up unless Korine was in danger of losing his life. David Blaine filmed most of the fights for him, however Korine claimed later that he was one of the worst cameramen he's ever worked with and most of the footage Blaine shot was unusable. After filming seven fights and sustaining several injuries, Korine had produced only fifteen minutes of usable footage. He subsequently aborted the project.
- Harmony Korine allegedly lived in a squat in Brixton and once dropped his crack pipe in a London restaurant.
