Today's the day that millions of hipster idiots across the world will start taking LP seriously. Like you. Yes, I'm talking to you, browsing /mu/ right now. You're a male between the age of 15-25, as is everyone else on this godforsaken board. Just the other day you were probably making fun of Chester Bennington, either by participating in your ironic Facebook meme groups quoting the lyrics to Crawling or In the End, or harvesting YouTube comments full of innocent middle schoolers who resonate with Linkin Park and their message, so you could take screencaps of their posts and mock them on cringe threads. Yeah, I know your type, you cynical memeloving fuck. You never took anything Chester had to say seriously, but now you'll revisit the whole LP discography on Spotify to reappraise his music and treat him like a god. But you weren't doing it yesterday, or the day before. Fucking hypocrites. All the shit-talking and mockery of Linkin Park that went on this side of the net will eventually wash away and be forgotten as Chester's lyrics are remembered for generations to come. Kids who were making fun of LP for being "edgy garbage" will now be acting like they were lifelong fans. In the end, it doesn't even matter.

Hey, it's the bald man and I'm here to tell you why the new Limp Bizkit album is so important. That's because cd's like this one spare you from all the chart topping, teeny bopping disposable happy horseshit that brings up the bile from the back of my neck. I have no time or tolerance for shitty wack acts like that. I wouldn't piss on their cd's to piss out a fire. I'm tired of all those lame ass, tame ass, prefabricated sorry excuses for singers and musicians who don't even write their own songs. What the world needs now is a is a musical revolution. We need some rock, we need something that has balls. We need something with substance, depth, something with soul, some edge, some passion, some power. Shit if it's going to be mellow, fuck man it had better have something, it had better mean something. I'm telling, you gotta hit 'em with something hard, you gotta stick 'em with something Limp, like Limp Bizkit. I'm so fucking tired of this shit that I'm hearing on the radio. Radio SUCKS. The same fucking songs over and over again. All the weak ones, all the disposable crap that isn't gonna matter in 3 months. It's just SHIT, (Hey) it's just crap Fred. Fred I'm telling you there's so much shit going on and we need some new music. What, what, what, what about Limp Bizkit? Limp Bizkit is fucking cool, you guys are cool, the new record is great, but fuck all that other shit! I'm so sick of all that weak shit (Matt calm down, yo, what's up) that's taking up streets and the charts. Fuck that shit Fred I'm outta here. Fuck, dude, fucking Pinfeild is pissed. Oh man I gotta go find that bald bastard. Hey Matt, Matt

>>74046673
>btw This band was created by a record label, just like Paramore. Avoid like the plague.

I just watched a documentary on the making of their album Meteora, and I can say for a fact you're wrong. They wrote all of their own songs and made demos in their bus and in their garage and took them to a studio to record. Sure they probably had sound engineers all working and editing as well as a bunch of equipment your normal garage band wouldn't be able to afford, but they're not "manufactured" anymore than Led Zeppelin or AC/DC was "made by a record label"

>>74046331
Points of Authority is and always will be the only song of theirs I enjoy. Everything else I just don't enjoy. I'm not gonna start praising them because Chester died.

i was 13 when Hybrid Theory came out, 3 years later when Meteora dropped i was at peak adolescent hormones and angst from being terrible at asking girls out

i'm stuck with these fuckers, it's not even my fault.

They were my first """favourite""" band, when I was aged 12-14. Outgrew them after that, but I still like to give them a listen every now and then for nostalgia. Will probably re-listen to Hybrid Theory tonight.

The only thing more offensive than lyrical profanity is your tentative grasp on the definition of hipster and that it applies to one of the most mainstream rock bands in modern history.

I can't believe there are so many people on here that unironically like Linkin Park, are you all just memeing or is it nostalgia from having shit taste as a teenager?

Only two of their songs get clowned and it's usually by edgelords like you trying to fit in. When it comes down to it, you really don't know why you "hate" Linkin Park.

My opinions haven't changed in light of these events. A Thousand Suns is their best album, The Hunting Party is decent, their first 3 are nostalgia bait, Living Things was pretty but obnoxious, and One More Light was straight garbage. I thought this yesterday, I think it today and I'll think it tomorrow. That all said, I'll assert that one song absolutely will be reassessed in light of these events on a grander scale.

22, legit listened to Linkin Park since I watched a video game movie featuring them when I was seven. Cba the edgy lyrics, never cared for it. Native language isn't english so Chester's vocals were just complementing the notes for me at that time, as I had yet to learn the language. Purely from a musical standpoint, I was engulfed in something really unique and compelling. I still feel that way, believe it or not. I've never bought into the social acceptance circle on this board and couldn't care less about some hipster prejudice.

Chester Bennington killed himself so his newer music could be relevant. Just weeks ago he was complaining about how his fans still like Hybrid Theory.

>>74048645
I tried, but it's all smudged from your tears

>>74046331
literally one of the only albums I ever bought

come on my dude they weren't THAT good. Only their first couple of albums were good. After the mid 2000's it was pretty much it for their lightning in a bottle phase.

That's a large reason about why they're so bad though. If it weren't for their cringeworthy "nihilistic" lyrics and edgy vocals they wouldn't be terrible, just completely forgettable because of their boring songwriting.

>>74048751
yes but kurt cobain was clever enough to kill himself before he sold out

>>74046331

I don't know whats more sad.

30 year olds who still go on /mu/ or the fact that people could hate linkin park because its too popular.

I like linkin parks early stuff but they've gotten worse as time progressed. they're alright though. not shit even if it was a band made by a label.

>>74048756
Nah, people have a right to have shit taste

god damn i liked linkin park before chester died

i guess there's no way to like them without being hip now

>>74048802
You're making fun of a band for being edgy while being edgy and you can't even see it. This is absolutely ridiculous lol.

Nah, I still think they're shit. Last time I took them seriously was like at 13 years old.

Chester Bennington's death is fucking me up a lot more than I had expected honestly. It's got me right back in my elementary/middle school feelings. Haven't listened to Linkin Park in years but I guess they had a significant subconscious importance to me

>Nevermind happened
>before he sold out

I mean sure, In Utero does its best to scrub away any notion of that but Nevermind was a shift to a major label, slicker production, and poppier songwriting. It's decent but it's also a sellout record.

>>74048911
You literally can't see how weird it is to be such an edgelord then label something as edgy for being edgy. You ought to be their biggest fan by your logic.

>>74048325
i died at the noose phones

>>74048969
Not true - everyone likes Slayer

>>74048997

>sellout

Also remember Nevermind is extremely important to the prolonged life of decent rock music.

If it hadn't had came out most rock music in terms of popularity would've died out COMPLETELY by 1996. Unless Mudhoney somehow pulled out and created a god tier mainstream record.

>>74049037

Although I like slayer, I guarantee there is one douche that says he doesn't like it for the sake of not liking it.

>>74046331
I'm 27, though. And consistently revisited LP's earlier works before MtM. Some nice headbanger shit in their past. I think Lost in the Echoes was the last song of theirs I liked.

Someone find the guy who listened to In the end like 30000 times and ask him how he feels right now.

Hybrid Theory or Meteora?

>>74049061

Yeah, by chance. The record label hoped to sell like 50k copies or something and then move on. Smells Like Teen Spirit exploding was something no one predicted.

linkin park have always been an appropriate musical punching bag. but they were noisy and therapeutic for me as a frustrated ten year old in a broken home. i don't trust people who can't defend hybrid theory.

No sympathy for someone who kills themselves.

>>74049187

thats not the point though. Smashing Pumpkins definitely would've had slightly more different music, maybe not completely different but the point here is that Rock wouldn't be as culturally influencing like it was in the 90s long enough as it was in the 70s and 80s

>>74048250

>>74049202

I connected more with Meteora and even Minutes to Midnight as a teenager. I acknowledge that Hybrid Theory is a well-crafted pop album that taps into teenage angst like nothing else but I always liked the broodier side of LP more than the angrier side. Even with Meteora I favored songs like Easier To Run, From The Inside, and Breaking The Habit. Hybrid Theory was damn near straight anger and I dunno, that never truly clicked for me. Wasn't super into it as a teen and time hasn't really been kinder to it. I think I like By Myself more now than I used to but that's about it.

I thought 4chins was edgy, and then I scrolled through the TMZ comment section. Lots of filth on the internet these days, more than I remember from back in the day.

Hybrid Theory is the only full album of Linkin Park's i've ever listened to, and didn't do so for the first time until i was in my late teens. I didn't like it then and don't now. I'm probably not gonna listen to more now just because of this.

yeah except the thing is at one point most of us WERE those middle schoolers. LP is OUR generation, 15-25 or whatever. just because we grew up doesn't mean we can't still like the band.

Same. As much as it's despised here, Hybrid Theory and Meteora are two guilty pleasure albums.

>>74046331
i grew out of being ashamed of what i enjoy and just enjoyed the music for what it is back in 2013

What's weird is that there is realer, more suicidal, music out there and none of those other artist kill themselves. Chester was a legit sad and angry individual with a drug problem.

kurt cobain made music 100x better than linkin park. it is true that grunge however is too tied in with the legacy of dead artists

>>74049061
Rock IS dead as fuck, though. The only groups even worth listening to are the same fuckfaces we've been listening to for 20-30+ years now.

Music as a whole has all started to meld together into just being variations of pop.

>>74046829

>>74046331
Why would I start taking them seriously just because Bennington offed himself? The music is still trash and he clearly couldn't handle the criticism their new material was (rightfully) receiving.

I always like Hybrid Theory and to a lesser extent Meteora
Also the Jay Z album

>>74046829
27 as well. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are the soundtrack to my early and mid teens. I know they're a shit band but those two albums will always remain a guilty pleasure.

Nigger, millions of people die daily, and are replaced, daily. In the mere timespan this thread has existed, hundreds, if not thousands of children have probably died to disease, starvation, or brutality.

In the greater scheme of things, who gives a fuck about some singer from a band that wasn't known for good music, but was used as a punchline for every joke about teenagers in the 2000's? Even their own fanbase stopped giving a fuck about them when they sold out and switched over to pop music and trying to be U2-lite in order to remain at least somewhat relevant.

They were a flash in the pan that only got notoriety because of their angsty gimmick. At least Korn pulled it off without sounding like whiny bitches half the time. Chester killing himself after making half a decade of theme songs to every depressed suburban white chick with papercut wrists and Nightmare Before Christmas lunch boxes is probably the least surprising death in the whole music industry.

All their albums for the past 10 years have gotten a lot of criticism, it's stupid to think that he killed himself cause a bunch of idiots said, "Bring back hybrid theory" online

Three paragraphs and you avoided answering the question. Your upbringing, coupled with your addiction to this website's culture has poisoned your mind to the point you're completely desensitized to the world around you, to the point you've formed your own baseless short-lived morality that you think makes sense because it helps you feel special not being part of the "sheep"

I'm not even the anon you were talking to. I'm just calling out your bullshit because the reality of it is that no one gives a shit about others dieing unless it's in their immediate vicinity or directly effects them.

I've 'worked' in 3rd world countries, one of which was an active war zone, for 15 months. You aren't 'desensitized' to the death of unseen strangers because of a mongolian finger painting image board. You never cared to begin with, just like everyone else.

And that's okay. No one but disingenuous and preachy asshats expects you to, and they're full of shit anyway; Just trying to do social grand-standing or trying to get something out of you.

>>74050440
the composition and musical ideas are identical, it just has a shinier surface like any band that moves from basement demos to professional production

Linkin Park wasn't bad, but I was more into Slipknot at the time they were really popular.

Also, I don't really recall people liking LP that much -- I can only speak for people I knew back then, of course. Just didn't talk about them that much despite them being everywhere.

>>74049802

keke maybe we're laughing at you because you enjoy something so meaningless and cliche

LP sucks ass and I cannot believe /mu/ is defening them. Saying "oh man back in the day Linkin Park was my jam" is understandable but if you have anything past halfhearted nostalgia for this band that is pathetic and you do not belong here.

>>74050298

>>74050635
With all the talk of Linkin Park being for edgy kids, there's nothing edgier than what you just wrote.

You only are allowed to get affected by deaths of people you know? Also why would anyone do any social grand-standing on 4chan? What is there to gain from doing that here?

People are sad that a singer died then you being the enormous faggot that you are come in and say, "Hey people die all the time get over it xD" Stop and ask yourself for a second if you would actually say the nonsense you're saying in real life. Would you actually use that as a consolation line?

>>74050635
>I'm just calling out your bullshit because the reality of it is that no one gives a shit about others dieing unless it's in their immediate vicinity or directly effects them.

yeah, because nobody outside of new york actually cared about all the lives lost in 9/11.

Fuck I wasn't even alive during WW2 and hearing about some of the atrocities that happened back than makes me tear up

I wouldn't, but Chester seemed like a little bitch so it's not much of a stretch for me to think he may have. Also I didn't say that was the reason, I'm saying all the collective criticism from fans, critics, peers etc. combined probably contributed to his depression. If you can't fathom that then you're a fucking idiot.

>>74050898
I think the real idiot here is one theorizing people's deaths saying they could have done it cause faggots like you didn't like their music. I'm pretty sure they are way past the point of caring about critics this deep into their careers.

I was like 16 when Hybrid Theory came out and I thought it was cheesy horrible shit the first second I saw the first video.

already do, and the other expected mucore
but i think linkin park are truly rather good in their best moments if taken as essentially an angsty pop band rather than something where the form itself is supposed to be dark or transgressive, if that makes any sense

i dunno i missed this whole linkin park thing despite them being at their peak popularity when i was in middle school, maybe ill give it a shot

Writing generic lyric about being angry and sad hardly gives a window into his mind. The guy was just pandering to edgy teenager emotions. Then he tried to experiment with generic modern pop music and nobody liked it. I'd probably kill myself too

>>74051670
that he was actually sad enough to kill himself suggests he meant it when he kept singing about being sad

>>74051914

suicide is a two way street anon. There's the person who committed the act who was obviously not mentally well and in a lot of emotional pain, and then there's the family they left behind who grieve for them and miss them.

I can feel bad for both sides

>>74052021
I'm not celebrating anything you mong. I'm saying you're an asshole for calling anyone who isn't as upset about his death insensitive yet you fail to see how insensitive his suicide was.

>>74046331
I still feel the same way about Linkin Park, their lyrics and their production. It's just feeling like a large part of my childhood just got chipped away. It makes me feel like shit for being ironic about Linkin Park's lyrics, not all of them were that edgy. Read the lyrics to "Leave Out All the Rest" for example.

Reanimation is genuinely great.

I don't listen to Hybrid Theory or Meteora as often as I did in high school, but I still enjoy a listen every now and then.

>>74051764
>P-Problematic!!

Try to keep up. I'm not even the original person you're talking to. No one here is impressed by you pretending to give a shit about dead strangers from hollywood.

i guess both sides of the shitfight are kind of right
a famous person dying/being driven to kill themselves isn't any more or less tragic than when it happens to millions of faceless people
otoh there's nothing wrong with being moved seeing that human struggle personified in someone, whether you know them personally or because they're famous or w/e

>>74052077
>anyone who isn't as upset about his death insensitive
Lol you complete and utter idiot.

Let's backtrack:

This is the original post I responded to >>74049678 where a literal RETARD opined that it's ridiculous to feel sad about someone you didn't know personally dying, to which I replied and said that's a stupid way of thinking and it proves that it's them who has the problem not everyone else.

Somewhere along the line, you butted in, or maybe that's still you, and you started spewing babby philosophy about how millions of people die everyday as if that somehow debunks the sheer stupidity of saying you can only be mad
at people you know dying.

Now you're mouthing off about how suicide is insensitive and saying that I called you an asshole for not being sad, when the reality is I called YOU an idiot for your babby philosophy and edgy outlook on life that unironically is a lot selfish than anything anyone could ever do.

Idiot.

I just love this circular reason where you try now and twist it back to me, when it's you who's actively making fun of the dead. It's like you don't understand how life works at all, your exposure to it comes from hanging out on 4chan for 15 years.

Eh, feel bad for the guy, not disputing that, but not a fan of The Linkin Park Boys, and his death won't change that. Have friends who grew up with their music, I totally get it, but not my type of thing.
As far as making fun of Chester before his death, well...dude and his band made a shitty album and tried to force it down on people, dude said some edgy shit about punching fans who would call them "sell-outs", and people weren't having it.
Is it wrong for being critical of somebody? Jesus Christ, I feel sorry for the guy, but playing the blame-game on a fucking Taiwanese Cartoon Board is not gonna give you extra Link In Park street cred.

>>74052520
>don't act like we all have to feel sorry for him.
I'm acutely aware that some(most) of you are full of nothing but hate and apathy in your life so I don't expect you to act in any way that empathizes with someone/thing that doesn't have a direct impact on you.

Nowhere did I say, "Feel bad for Chester" what I did say though is you should examine your life and find out where it went so wrong for you to start thinking that any death that doesn't affect you directly is irrelevant because that's the kind of mindset that leads people to self-destruct when they reach a certain breaking point of loneliness. I'm saying this out of love.

>>74052649
Literally the only decent post in this thread

art is separate from the person/people who created it. it sucks that chester hanged himself. that being said, LP still sucks.

This thread is basically:

16-24 years of age: Linkin Park suxxxzzz I like 21 Pilots instead

>>74048669
>Cba the edgy lyrics, never cared for it. Native language isn't english so Chester's vocals were just complementing the notes for me at that time

I feel pretty much the same. I never paid attention to the lyrics or 'image' at all and just enjoyed the music.

>>74048458

> THEY DONT HAVE COMPLICATED STUFf THEY USE SIMPLE STUFF

they are a good band

taste isnt about stuff being 'advaned' and anyone who's not a retard has noticed that it can't be. its about sensitivity to how things fit together, which linkin park did perfectly

>>74053125

note here i'm not saying stuff being 'simple' means it works or that stuff being difficult means it is bad or 'pretentious' or w/e, it's about it being appropriate to the whole aesthetic. die hard is a great film but contains nothing really 'deep' or 'advanced' -- all it's elements just work together well.

>>74053125
>>74053185

oh really? What elements did Linkin Park use together that made them a great band?

Name one thing they did that was a composite of simpler musical ideas that together created a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Go ahead, name one fucking time Linkin Park blew your mind with their songwriting brilliance and talent.

It's still C-rate Deftones, but it doesn't make his suicide any sadder. Fuck man, there are plenty of people on this board with depression, they probably have some idea of how Chester felt.

[spoiler]In the end it doesn't even matter...[/spoiler]

He said in the past that he was attempted suicide because he was molested as a child by an older man. The culture of death takes another one.

What's funny is people who bash LP sound like they do it while listening to Crawling in the background.

>>74046331
Not gonna lie, first thing I did when I saw he committed suicide was laugh my ass off, not because I hated them or anything, but because it's so fitting considering their music.

I don't think the music is bad for what it is. I definitely grew up listening to them in middle school. It's just dark edgy middle schooler music, first two albums are about as good as you get for that genre.

>>74053540

I was molested as a child 3 separate times by 3 separate people and each time I kind of liked it and even when I didn't it wasn't really that bad. so I don't know what he's so upset about. He can't just blame it all on being molested there had to be more going on

Well to be fair the main reason Linkin Park was a meme was because of their edgy lyrics, which now suddenly sound a whole lot less edgy when they're backed up with actual actions.

>>74046829
I'm 22 and I honestly loved the first two albums, and some on Minutes to Midnight. If I were to listen for the first time today, I wouldn't like it. But sometimes it's fun to revisit that nostalgia. Like today.

>>74048751
The difference is that Kurt Cobain was a good musician. And even then 99% of /mu/ agrees he's overrated as fuck

>>74053677

I was molested as a child and I think this is why I have insane anxiety when I'm trying to have sex with women. When I'm alone I'm fine but with somebody else I just can't function, and now that I'm getting older I stopped trying. I can't handle the embarrassment.

A Thousand Suns is unironically a good album.

>tfw I used to listen to linkin park as a child with poor english skills and enjoyed it

I just really the the way nu-metal sounds. Don't really care about the edgy lyrics, since the era I associate with it (the 2000s) weren't bad for me at all.

You know you're just talking out of your ass and trying to be a hipster "I'm so out of the norm" sociopath. Explain why you think it's bad in actual musical terms and don't say FANTANO buzz words like ATMOSPHERIC or POPPY.

I'm sure he was thinking about how disappointed his mother was going to be when she wasn't going to sit in the front row of his concert before he put his head through the noose.

Am I the only one who liked Linkin Park for their aesthetics? Reanimation and link related captured this perfectly.
I always think of rainy New York with a florescent lit subway station at midnight.
Lights flickering and buzzing, trash and wet grime on the ground, that kind of thing.

That album is shit.

You're welcome.

What I like most about Linkin Park is Hahn and Shinoda.

sure it absolutely killed my ability to be able to breed with women, but honestly I'm not really that upset about it. I think I would be a NEET virgin regardless so I try not to blame all my problems on one thing

>age of 15-25
28, I wasn't in High School when Meteora was released. I got introduced to LP by older family members who were in the middle of college at the time.

sounds like you turned out great

If you are a millennial and don't "unironically" enjoy their first two albums you should hang yourself.

Sounds like a copypasta from reddit.

I like Mr Hahn, I'm not even sure DJs today scratch.
