Linkin Park was always the whiny, emo, less talented version of 311.

Although since Chester did eventually kill himself, it wasnt whining for the sake of whining.

That being said, i havent listened to the radio in decades. Always surprised when I hear people still do.

It should be said that I am not this huge fan of Linkin Park lol the whole point was that PLR does not just play bad music. And that music from 20 + years ago was certainly not bad

I mean, some music from 20+ years ago is pretty bad. But as long as we can agree that Linkin Park is dumb music for suburban 8th graders, sure.

Not really, Linkin Park is one of the worst rap-rock nu metal bands. I was a little piece of shit in middle school, I liked Korn and Limp Bizkit and a lot of other pure trash. Just cultureless, impotently angry music with terrible aesthetics and overall vibe.

But I remember thinking Linkin Park was too dumb to like, even then. The name was extra dumb, the singer was especially whiny, the sound was just like every other shit band in the same genre.

Even the handful of kids I knew in college who still liked them were always the ones who dressed the worst and hadn't fully gotten over that dumb teenage angst yet. Like they were good people at their hearts, but it kind of says something that they were all similar in those ways.

You came in pretty hot defending them, which seems kind of weird if you never put that much thought into them and don't love or hate them. Like you tried to put them on the same level as Green Day and the Foo Fighters haha, that doesn't really seem like middle ground.

Who you don’t even recognize as great bands, so… what do you care?

Well I've heard songs from both of those bands, and seen what both of those bands look like. As much as I don't listen to them regularly, I know they're not just whiny nu metal shitheads making awful music for suburban middle schoolers. I don't personally like those bands, but it's easy to see how they're both a lot better than Linkin Park.

Now we can get back to how you came in hot defending Linkin Park and comparing them to much better bands despite saying you're not a big fan. What's all that about?
