Linkin Park is up there as one of my least favourite bands ever. So bad.
I still love them today, the only band that "survived" for me after all these years. I don´t even know if other acts that became popular at that time still exist.
Despite that, "A Thousand Suns" is still my favorite album, followed by "Reanimation" (these Remixes still feel so fresh, would love if we could get something like that again) and "Hybrid Theory" :-D
It is a combination of teenage angst and them being overplayed. I remember a thread on Gaf about how their would be a video for The End set to anything one could think of.
Linkin Park are great. They have never been obnoxious, annoying, overstayed their welcome or said a ton of stupid shit. Linkin Park gets hate because Chesters vocals make it sound like pop. That's really all it is.
When it comes to music, I've never in my life met people who were so elitistic and stuck up their own assholes as metal heads, who can't listen to anything poppyer than their own variation of some obscure finnish viking power death post hardcore old-school punk metal sampled with the blood of king crimson and odin.
If you're not into the mainstream shit, then I suspect you are disingenuous and pretentious. Probably think too highly of yourself and your music taste. Nobody is going to like you more because you jerk of to mastodon. They just aren't.
My thing is- You can have it both ways. Music to me is about mood, and there is almost a mood for everything. Even easily digestible music like Linkin Park. And they are skilled musicians.
Mikes raps are and have always been my least favorite part of LP, but I like their sound. I really do. And everybody knows HT and Meteora. EVERYBODY!

Why so emotional?

I see what you did with your title, OP. Well played ;-)
Still waiting for that second Fort Minor album. What is Shinoda even doing right now?
No.
My chemical romance ,
I never cared much for MCR but I did appreciate their Black Parade album.Fuck, that reminds me when I sang one of their songs back in junior high. No wonder the teacher made me stop after the chorus.
He is right.
Music is the most useless thing to argue about. Everyone thinks they listen to superior music. I've got a breaks and house DJ friend who takes every chance he gets to rip into mainstream EDM like the two are so different.
Add the cult of personality on top and popularity as a pivot and music criticism is a shit show.
Also stop expecting everything to last forever. Some things are made to be consumed, enjoyed, and then mostly forgotten about.
This lazy dismissal of music discussions on the "it's too subjective" basis pops up every time and frankly it's very annoying, and certainly this kind of attitude doesn't help the dismal state of many music related threads here.
Why so emotional?
Making wild blanket statements is super cool man.

Did they deserve it? Absolutely lmfao. Aside from a couple of songs I laughed at most I've heard. Did they deserve it? Absolutely
Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heallllll alle. Fear is how I fall, confusing what is reeelllll a Leelee.
They're alright though, it's okay to laugh. Nothing wrong with liking it.
Lol@the rapper
Sooo, what exactly is your reason that they deserved to be hated?
Because I can't get where you're going with that post
Didn't mean to imply I hated them, I laughed, but in a good way. They're a cheesy band. It's okay to like cheese, it's delicious.
