I listened to Linkin Park when I was like 12 - 14 years old, the Hybrid Theory/Meteora-era. I thought they were pretty good, but it wasn't an angst-ridden thing for me, it was just new to me who had listened to mostly radio-pop before.
Then I ventured into harder and harder music and later on doing a complete 180, listening a lot to electronica, electro, trip-hop, turntablism, industrial etc.
But I still hear everyone I know say "Man, remember when we listened to Linkin Park, how lame was that!". I started believing it without personally really disliking them.
Then recently I went back to those first two albums, and they're pretty great imo. Chester has a pretty distinct voice and the production is good with drumtracks and synthesizers that are pretty eclectic.
So in retrospect, did Linkin Park suck as the de-facto angst-ridden crap teenagers listen to while going through hormonal changes.
