Are Linkin Park Just Sad Now?

My friend said they were, just want to get you'r opinions.

Uh. They were always about feeling hurt and using weird metaphors to get that across.

I've never been very fond of them, even in my infamously depressed teenage years.

they became emo, this is truecubemovies

LP changed for the worst. We need the dyed hair, powerman 5000 mentality again, because this emo crap is getting oldcubemovies

Looking back, they were always sad, but boy how I loved them as an angsty 13-year-old. :P

I am not sure what category to put them into Hip-hop/Rock/Emo/Punk/Motivational singers....UHH to much.K1LLR3175

Sorry I had to.

What the hell do you mean NOW?? How about ever? :|

They have always been sad, I mean listen to thier songs I thought they were raping emo's at first (2000 I think meh)

I TRIED SO HARD
BLAH BLAH BLAH DOESN'T EVEN MATTER

I CUT...THESE WOUNDS...

Sad is a bit much. I only like their first album really. It's quite fun to listen to if you don't take it seriously :)

I had no idea people still listened to them after Meteora, then Minutes to Midnight or w/e came out and it seemed to be a big deal...but still I dont know anyone who listens to them anymore. I do enjoy Hybrid Theory because it takes me back to middle school lol.

Seems like nobody here listened their Reanimation album.

Their songs keep craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawling iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin my skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin.

Seriously LP, please stop doing this. I know you've tried so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard but it's really not working.

They have always been sad

Linkin Park has been sad, I don't see where they were so "Hard" They've always been this MTV sold band, MTV is most of the reason that they're good, and I see a correlation between MTV's less focus on music and their fall. They always sucked, I used to like them back in my emo teen, angst years, used to think they were hardcore, but I moved onto bands like The Strokes, some Indie, and some classic rock. I have friends that are still huge! into them, but as I got older(I'm 20 now) I stopped liking the music, seen through the BS, I got real depression around my 17 year old time and when I got up from it I seen that Linkin Park is not the way of thinking about it.

Shinodas raps are elementary at best, and they're a bunch of guys from orange county, yeah Bennington may have been sexually abused as a kid but who cares, that's no reason to make a bunch of CD's about crying and capitalizing off of keeping teens angsty. Did I mention that all they were was an TRL band? All they are is Nickleback for crybaby teens. They're the classic case of children who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths, parents give them everything in the world, but they get all angst ridden, and guilty of their wealth because something some rap song told them.

Only songs I really liked from them were Faint, and Nobodies listening(which was basically Faints

without all of the bells and whitsles, and different wording)

They suck(ed)

They've been like that for some time now.

They always had really sad music. They just mellowed out a bit so its more apparentto casual listeners now.

Eh, you're the music version of those people that can't stand Transformers 2. Not everything has to be deep to be enjoyable. The riffs may be simple, but they're definitely enjoyable. I'll admit, I don't like most of their songs but a few just stand out. Namely Faint and What I've Done. Do those two songs have the horrors that you've spoken of? Yes. Do I enjoy them regardless of that and even above some 'high art' songs? Very much so.Notsogr8one
