Likin Park. I feel like every song is speaking to me and describing my life in a way that I could not have possibly put into words in a million years.

I'll hijack this thread to pimp a radio program about my choice of music: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... d=18752518

I'll hijack this thread to say fuck Linkin Park. You're all a bunch of tools. You lack the ability to describe what they describe using an array of cliches? Oh wow. You should get piercings and tattooes. And trendy brand-name clothing from Hot Topic. Because you're that unique. Even though apparently everyone can relate to Linkin Park's music.

Linkin Park is a barricade to individuality. I don't even dislike their music. What I dislike is that people never bother to look at it. They hear it, and sometimes they listen. And then they settle for it. Music has become less than It. It's a shortcut to expression. People no longer have to be creative about themselves; they listen to generic music that reflects in a broad sense their sense of humanity. And the accessibility facilitates necessity.

It's barely music. It's a new kind of food. And in America, food doesn't need to be nutritious.

I see what your saying, but I don't really care.


I understand that alot(if not all) of their music has the same generic setting and tone.
But is not like all of us just sit around listening to nothing but Linkin Park.
So maybe we do have our own individuality, and we like the way that the song(s)
portray the feelings/emotions that we feel when we feel those feelings.

meaning, you feel happy, you listen to an up-beat musical number.
When you feel sad, you beat on an organ.

Just because we listen to the music doesn't mean we feel what they want us to feel.
We feel emotions and then look for music that helps to express to whatever degree, that emotion.

Linkin Parks generic lyrics and tones are probably the easiest to relate to.
But that doesn't make whoever listens to them "tools"

They play great music, and I personally like to listen to it.
I (if you haven't noticed) am not very good with words,
So reading other peoples poems helps me to put words to my emotions.
But just because I can read and understand the emotions being portrayed in a poem, doesn't make me a slave to the emotions being illustrated.

People can put whatever emotion they want in a song. Its up to them to be original or creative.

So please, don't label Linkin Park. Its up to people themselves to create their own personality.


Again, I'm not the best with words, so don't worry if you can't understand what I'm saying.
Everything came from nothing, therefore everything is nothing.

And yet, they let others define them in just the way you insinuated linkin park songs put your emotions into words.

"I'm myself, and thank god I have an awfully generic band to express that, since I can't."

People can put whatever emotion they want in a song. Its up to them to be original or creative.

It's so true. Both statements.

I think the people who actually think Linkin Park = an expression of themselves are right. Bland, booring, and great to listen to for about 20 minutes before you put them away and forget about them for 3-5 months.

I like Linkin Park quite a bit. I just don't see any real ... soul ... in their music.

The thing is though, that all music is equal, but not to the person listening to it.

This is because a person listening to music is affected by their own opinions of what is "good" or "bad". But from a truly objective (if that's possible) what the hell is music, anyway? viewpoint, it's just a collection of notes with words if you really want.

If you want to look at the why do I listen to this music side, as Flint did, then that's a whole different story.

I think that made sense. I'm quite tired, so it might not.
I'm bored and you're dumb. A match made in heaven.
