Me at 30+ listening to new Linkin Park with the scientologist and sexual assault enabler:
"this shit sucks"
I liked her until I found out she was batshit. Bummer! Easy enough to listen to other bands I guess .
Yep and M Shinoda is completely tone deaf to the controversy / doesn't give a shit
In the end, it doesn’t even matter
There are 30 year old Linkin park fans? I figured they were all 40 at minimum
30 here, wassup
Almost 40, not quite. I'm a millennial grandma.
35 checking in.
Just checked my last.fm page, Linkin Park is still my most listened artist since registering in 2020
Hybrid theory came out in 2000. Assuming a kid is 11 when they enter middle school, that would make a lot of mid 30s fans
I played so much unreal tournament on my Pentium 4 while listening to them
30 year old LP listener reporting!
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.
But the fucking scream in Given Up still breaks me. Even more since his death.
Song is 24 years old maybe the meme need to be updated. Me at 39
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.
I ❤️ A Thousand Suns
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
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.
Reanimation is also still awesome.
When 'Lost' dropped, it really spoke to where I was emotionally at the time. Chester out here like "Even in death, I still serve."
Pray his soul still lives on as a machinespirit in the many CDs that are still around.
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….”
