I'm not too crazy about anything they released after Minutes to Midnight, but I always thought the two albums in pic related were phenomenal.
Why exactly do people hate them?
Andrew Hernandez
Xavier Jones
people hate popular things
John Morris
Hybrid Theory was the first CD I ever owned. I used to listen to that shit nonstop while reading Harry Potter in elementary school. That CD will always have a place in my heart. Papercut will always be their best song.
Still, shit's edgy as fuck. And I don't even like using that term much.
Angel Sanders
You forgot Reanimation OP
Caleb King
This. Hybrid Theory Reanimation and Meteora are awesome. After that they just sold out
Adam Sanders
God damn when did mu get so fucking shitty
Jaxson Long
Go back to jewddit
Evan Gonzalez
ATS>>meteora>hybrid theory>>everything else
Blake Edwards
>They changed their sound and not in a good way
>Then they got played all over X-Games that one year with Bleed It Out on nonstop repeat
Basically Minutes to Midnight and everything I've heard after is what killed the band for me.
Cameron Scott
Most people here either got into them before they really started seriously listened to music and "matured" past them or just hate popular things
Cooper Diaz
people don't like their lyrics
but lyrics aside shinoda and bennington have gr8 vocals and flows
also the instrumentals are legitimately good, joe hann was the real genius behind linkin park

the moment he became less of a driving force was the moment linkin park went downhill
Landon Ross
desu I like their later stuff a bit better
A Thousand Suns > Living Things > Meteora > Minutes To Midnight > Hybrid Theory > The Hunting Party

How come Linkin Park gets ridiculed while Nine Inch Nails does not? Some of its edge can be far cringing. Stuff like "I Do Not Want This" or "That's What I get" are somehow being forgiven. Why? What makes NIN be able to escape from being laughed at with some of their lyrics while Linkin Park is butt of all jokes?
Anthony Torres
Underground cred.
Carson Price
Probably due to the fact that I Do Not Want This is a part of the albums concept album. Linkin Park does not deserve the normie memes still. Shit like Papa Roach, Simple Plan and Fred Durst should be a laughing stock.
Gavin Hill
Autistic weebs ruined Linkin Parik in 2003-2009 with their countless AMV videos and Deviantart images.
Ayden Scott
If those AMVs were good this would not have happened
Charles Scott
CHAINSAW
WHAT
Gabriel Brooks
> Still, shit's edgy as fuck
There is nothing wrong with music (or anything) being edgy. If somethings executed well then that should be the focus.
Jordan Hall
I CAME INTO THIS WORLD AS A REJECT
Tyler Ross
YOU LIKE ME TO FUCK ME LIKE AN ANIMAL. YOU LIKE TO FEEL ME ON THE INSID-
> Trent files a law suit
Oh baybaybe
Jaxson Johnson
I can't take crawling seriously anymore
Adrian Roberts
A Thousand Suns is the best thing they've done. HT and Meteora are generic shit.
Eli Taylor
What are some bands or albums that sound similar to HT and Meteora?
Thomas Young
Themselves. Every song is exactly the same, note for note.
Josiah Cruz
Los Angeles' Linkin Park, fronted by singer Chester Bennington and rapper Mike Shinoda, were the most successful band of rap-metal thanks to Hybrid Theory: a textbook in how to turn teenage angst into the musical equivalent of fast food.
Elijah Cruz
and yet he liked korn and nine inch nails
Blake Bailey
u are a horrible teenager or u were one
Zachary Brown
>u
Idiot.
David Myers
well they are
Elijah Williams
Is this thread ironic?
Have we become so contrarian that we're actually praising linkin park?
Nicholas Torres
...
Josiah Stewart
NIN has fantastic instrumentation
Elijah Nelson
relevant
Luke Scott
And no one rivals Trents rage in his vocals. Burn, Somewhat Damaged, Last, The Wretched... kicks so much ass.
Eli Myers
>he unironically likes objectively shit music
lmao, i guess Sup Forums is the correct place for edgy children such as yourself
Nicholas Gomez
>objectively
Anthony Cooper
>edgy
Sup Forums made that term what it is today. Regular people in the real world will still use it in a positive context.
Easton Ross
>ITT: WAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAH PEOPLE DON'T LIKE MY EDGY NU-METAL BAND YOU JUST HATE THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE POPULAR AND HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH TEEN ANGST LIKE I'M GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW
Sebastian Rogers
This isn't a Death Grips thread though.
Isaac Taylor
>Death Grips
>more for angsty teens than fucking Linking Park
Jonathan James
pick both
John Baker
What the fuck are you even on about? Linking Park is famous for being for angsty teens. Death Grips are more popular with memelords and hipsters.
Thomas Brown
memes are the new edgy
Tyler Cooper
I can't argue with that.
Aiden Butler
They're Runescape tier.
Andrew Robinson
I admit this song is a guilty pleasure of mine.
youtube.com
The weird Mike Shinoda reggae hook oddly works. And I kind of dig the music behind it.
youtube.com
This is legit awesome though. If Linken Park was just an instrumental hip-hop/rock band it would be great.
Alexander Baker
Because they were insanely popular during the early and mid 00's and therefore, much like nickleback, people started to hate them because they were sick of it. Kids then started doing the same to fit in, even though they haven't really listened to either or were even around during the time they were popular and here we are.
