In the end, it doesn’t even matter
Meteora was also a decent album. I stopped listening after that. Hybrid Theory is something else though. Reanimation was also dope
I really liked minutes to midnight. A lot more introspective and mature.
Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.
Song is 24 years old maybe the meme need to be updated. Me at 39
The lead singer really was dealing with something.
He tried so hard.
And got so far.
But in the end…
It didn't even matter
Me at 30+ listening to new Linkin Park with the scientologist and sexual assault enabler:
"this shit sucks"
Bad taste then, bad taste now. No development or change in perspective. If this is you, you should be disappointed in yourself. Grow as you age.
Edit: hahaha people did NOT like this comment. They're BAD, guys. Whiny, cringey, melodramatic. It's music for a 12 year old.
^ Millennial who got bullied when they were 13 for liking Linkin Park and made it their whole personality and their life's mission to make sure no one thinks they like it again. 🙄🥱
Unironically grow up. Those people were dicks. They're well produced songs that are noteworthy for how well they portray teenage angst (a valid part of the human experience like any other) and connect with teenagers worldwide.
I was 18 when the song came out and couldn’t stand it then, can’t stand it now. Was more into Nine Inch Nails, Manson, and Nirvana to deal with teenage angst.
Linken Park isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Didn’t like Fred Durst, Blink 182, or even Korn. That kind of music made me do the emojis you put in your comment
Edit: My mistake. Didn’t realize this was a Linkin Park circle jerk
Yeah I was also an elite™️ 14-year old, all the normal girls were into LMFAO and LOL and their Flo-Ridas and BBM (what is that? Big boob messenger? Stupid thots. I was so much smarter than them. Humph! Looks are for the shallow!) and I was into far more intellectual things, like karaokeing to 'Somewhat Damaged', crying at least once to every single song on Still and speeding up the virgin power walk when the guitars come in on 'Beside You In Time'.
But then I turned 16, and I was into cloud rap, and a tad later, doom metal. I came to realize that people had varied, changing tastes that didn't necessarily give you the right to assume so much about them if they liked something I did not, it's not as if one cannot be objective about media at all, but moreso that using tastes to attack a person, or to assume personal traits about them, especially a group of people, seldom yields to accurate outcomes.
...
It is a lesson I had to learn again when my CompSci colleagues at university didn't cruise through classes like I did, it wasn't because they weren't 'real' 'geeks' like I was, and it wasn't because they didn't use Linux, and once more, and again and again with many different things, undoing the brainwashing of a consumption society to see the wonderful complexity of people.
I make music now, and I've learned to see the wonderous complexity in it too, even in stuff that's 'not my cup of tea'.
I can critique it, but I no longer assume so much about people, and perhaps I am taking all this far too seriously, and that's fine, but if that applies to you, I hope you can grow up too.
lol what? I don’t give a shit what people listen to. To each their own. I was simply stating that not everyone loved Linkin Park, which seems to have offended a lot of people.
Yeah, and they're even worse now. A scientologist for a lead singer... are you shitting me?
Fuck Linkin Park for that.
If this is you, you should be disappointed in yourself. Grow as you age.
You should be more subtle if you want to troll people. With a bait that obvious, you should be disappointed in yourself.
You'll get it once you grow out of your teens and a decade or two has passed.
"Your subjective experience needs to be the same as my subjective experience" in more words lol
It's just a meme bro
Look, I really do dislike Linkin Park and always have, but you obviously have no clue about how people or their musical tastes work. You are the one that needs to grow up, both in perspective and empathy.
Now I see you're testing me, pushes me away
When 'Lost' dropped, it really spoke to where I was emotionally at the time. Chester out here like "Even in death, I still serve."
Never fails that about this time every year I give Hybrid Theory a listen. Had such an impact on me when it came out that it seems to have left a permanent mark on the change from summer to autumn for me.
The most overrated band in the nu-metal era.
Reanimation is also still awesome.
I never liked this band...
They sucked 30 years ago, and they still do.
You're not allowed to dislike le epic band. You're only allowed to dislike nickleback or the hivemind will lynch you.
I mean I don't like the taste of Burger Kings burgers, but I don't pull off the road when I see one and walk up to the counter to tell them. I think negativity always invites negativity, which on here starts around downvotes
One thing that I always noted with Linkin Park is that most of their later albums seemed to divide opinions in the fanbase.
This always struck me as a good thing because they never really released the same sounding album twice (their first two, most popular albums being the exception). They always changed it up.
Their more electronic sounding albums are really underrated IMO. I haven't really listened to them in years, but I used to love their music.
I still remember the shock and sadness when hearing of Chester's death. He was a beast of a vocalist.

Is this astro-turfing?
I didn’t love them forever ago, but I rather like their new single “The Emptiness Machine”. I don’t follow music so I didn’t know they had lost their lead singer until yesterday. I heard the song and thought, “Linkin Park doesn’t have a woman for a lead singer….”
I still like the Jay-Z mashup album
