why does linkin park suck so bad?

OvenFresh	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 1:48 PM Dudes and dudettes, but mostly dudes, i was wondering why like, EVERYBODY likes linkin park and stuff, they totally suck. Totally.
OvenFresh	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 1:50 PM and yeah, why do they like them so much? cuz they have no musical talent..... at all. i mean, they really suck, like if i was to make a really big list of stupid bands, Linkin Park would be at the very top. i mean, and the people that like linkin park, they are even like, twice as dumb, cuz they obviously like no-talent musician boy band crap. i mean, its all the same, rapping verse, screaming chorus, rap, scream, scream interlude, then maybe to add to add to that, some rapping, then some screaming, and then end it with a really really BIG scream. and then i throw up cuz i was listening to it. love, ovenfresh
ICF	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 2:30 PM Woah now... take it easy ... i aint no dumb, no-talented musician and i like stuff like dream theater which is about as advanced as they get... but i still like linkin park! It's just something people like in a band... i mean, i could say "why do people like rap, its just some weirdo singin as many words as he can in one verse on the same note!!" but i dont say it cause theres a majority who like it - even thought i cant see why! Anyway.. theres my peice...
gothian	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 2:55 PM Come on dude... it is very obvious, you don't even have to ask this. Why is it so popular Britney Spears?... does it ring the bell for you now?
redspectre	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 5:23 PM it seems a bit of a waste to like a band such as linkin park when there's so many other bands out there and it's possible to like a decent band! it's all topsy-turvy
ICF	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 5:29 PM people who like linkin park dont just like linkin park you know!... some people like more than one band...
Thaspian	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 5:51 PM I don't like them much, and the lyrics are horrible IMO, but I have to admit, some of their stuff is catchy. Gets stuck in your head, like a disease.
Distilled1	Date: August 26, 2004 @ 9:28 PM rec. Exc. they are a made band thats why they just do... nothing original about it go look into Detroit 15 years ago it is all stolen
victorsskull	Date: August 27, 2004 @ 12:26 AM I like myself Im my best freind
redspectre	Date: August 27, 2004 @ 6:17 AM they do have a varied style i suppose. including piano and all that...
Droquen	Date: August 27, 2004 @ 4:57 PM I don't like them at all! Too techno for me I guess. I like bands with the usual suspects: Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Vox, Piano can work sometimes as well. But a DJ Machine? C'mon
RaXDaCapo	Date: August 28, 2004 @ 3:44 AM Linkin Park was different.. They had the usual guitars, drums, and bass, and a lead singer. But they also have a emcee and a dj. The only bands that i can think of that had a dj was Incubus and Limp Bizkit. Mike Shinoda is a better emcee than Fred Durst. Chester is very loud. But I like Linkin Park. They are not your typical lead singer has long blonde hair with a mustache and a lot of bass in their voice and sound all grungy. I'm just a different person, so i always has a liken for different.
AppleJuice	Date: August 31, 2004 @ 5:32 PM It's the generic rock band that everyone supposedly likes.
arekestall	Date: August 31, 2004 @ 7:49 PM just enjoy what you like and leave people alone. unless they try and force their opinions on you. jeeeeeeesus!
LordAndrew	Date: August 31, 2004 @ 10:51 PM They use a lot of synth so it makes them sound original. They don't really do anything original or what most would consider melodically sensible but they make up for that by using as much synth and effects that make their songs sould "cool". When it comes down to it, they're songs are almost all developed in a pop structure (which is appealing to a lot of people). Also a lot of their lyrics are appeal very much to a select group of people (troubled teen girls and some guys) that make up a lot of the new music listening audience. Anyway... thats just what i think.
Cryxan	Date: September 1, 2004 @ 5:07 AM I don't like them at all.
undefined22	Date: September 2, 2004 @ 8:44 PM I love them, they're one of my top 5 bands (for comparison, the other four are Midnight Oil, The Superjesus, Dream Theater and John Farnham).
dicktruth	Date: September 3, 2004 @ 6:08 PM Linkin Park write awesome songs, I don't think you can argue against that. People like them for a reason.
OvenFresh	Date: September 4, 2004 @ 12:32 PM Well, you want to actually know what this is all about? why i made this post? is cuz my friend bet me 5 bucks that more people liked them than hated them. i actually like them, i have all of their CDs, and some singles, and this one chinese CD that the made, with some live tracks on it. so anyway....... later! brett
hypnoticmind	Date: September 4, 2004 @ 4:58 PM OvenFresh......you kick ASS!!!oh, and Linkin Park is ok. they are getting paid to play the music THEY like! we should all be so lucky, then maybe somebody will start a forum about how much YOU suck! then you have true enlightenment, grasshopper....(5 bucks!)
undefined22	Date: September 4, 2004 @ 11:25 PM Smartass.
DeltaF86	Date: September 5, 2004 @ 11:42 AM HAHAHAHAH! Brett you rock!
TransAutobot	Date: September 5, 2004 @ 11:55 PM i dont really listen to that rock stuff much, i listen to some out on dmusic though... but to tell the truth, I like them more then any other mainstream rock i've heard. I'd buy a cd by them if i wasnt so lazy I really wanted to see if Metetora or whatever was any good.
moam	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 12:48 AM I must admit...they are a talented group. NO ONE on this site can say that they aren't talented. If you think they suck, then that means that you don't like their music. That doesn't mean they suck. In all honesty, I am not a very big fan of them at all, but I know they have a lot of musical talent. The thing I hate the most are the fans...mostly. All the fans I know of call themselves hardcore rock fans when all they listen to is Linkin Park... Guh! Annoying!!!
AndyGirv	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 10:00 AM "That doesn't mean they suck. In all honesty, I am not a very big fan of them at all, but I know they have a lot of musical talent. The thing I hate the most are the fans...mostly. All the fans I know of call themselves hardcore rock fans when all they listen to is Linkin Park... Guh! Annoying!!!" I can't agree more. I get so wound up when I see the ignorance in some people, those that say "I hate their music, they are untalented". I agree that I seriously don't enjoy listening to Linkin Park - its just not my taste - but I would never claim them to be untalented.
TransAutobot	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 10:17 AM he was joking when he said that... he did it for a bet
Bloodstaind-...	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 2:57 PM ""why do people like rap, its just some weirdo singin as many words as he can in one verse on the same note!!" interconnected... that was Irrelavent to the topic. Thats like me saying... why do people listen to rock? its just some idiot yelling as loud as he can on a microphone to really loud music with the same instrumentals over and over again... guitar, bass guitar, drums and maybe another guitar. when your tryin to talk about a subject try sticking to the topic. It might just work?
ICF	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 4:10 PM Flippin hell man, calm down, do you think i give a crap about you, im thinkin i hit a nerve I gave my perspective of the comment and the reason i related it like that was because of the way Linkin park was discribed was "rapping verse, screaming chorus, rap, scream, scream interlude, then maybe to add to add to that, some rapping, then some screaming, and then end it with a really really BIG scream." So just to make a point i did that to show that any other music could be seen like that if you want it too... anyway kid if you aint gonna contribute something meaningfull then please dont contribute... It might just work?
Bloodstaind-...	Date: September 6, 2004 @ 10:34 PM That little plan of approach, didnt look right comin out. Think before you speak... a good life lesson for you.
ICF	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 11:00 AM finished with the life lessons??
dicktruth	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 5:39 PM If you're gonan talk about life you should probably get off the internet first That was a joke, please don't kill me
Bloodstaind-...	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 6:18 PM actually i aint been on in acouple weeks... take ur own advice little dickie, and dont worry this is the internet... u dont have to worry about that problem
WhoBlah-Style	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 6:22 PM little dickie is stylin with his 1 star on his site, coool guy! blood dont waste ya time on him, he's as dumb as his icon
Bloodstaind-...	Date: September 7, 2004 @ 6:30 PM seems like it
dicktruth	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 6:58 AM "That was a joke, please don't kill me" Or can't you read?
vucky	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 7:17 AM we have different taste of music, some say linkin suck, some say linkin good. bloody frikin linkin is absolutely music for children under 15 years like me, all my friends like it, but i'm hardly never become a fanatic fan to them. i can't say linkin suck, but i prefer to hear something else which is... not linkin
ICF	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 11:14 AM Im thinkin WhoBlah-Style has got a thing for Bloodstaind, you actually had to go to Dicktruth's page just to make yourself feel hard huh! "actually i aint been on in acouple weeks" Whats with that.. you were on the day before you posted that too! Now i aint one whos gonna go round some silly forums and slag people off cause, as we've already established, this is only the internet... so dont give it and you wont get it. Theres my own life lesson for you. Stop tryna stir trouble.
Dizeazed	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 6:30 PM Hey!...I like Linkin' Park! ... Be careful of how you generalize/stereotype little mayn! hakesfinger:
Bloodstaind-...	Date: September 8, 2004 @ 10:48 PM "Im thinkin WhoBlah-Style has got a thing for Bloodstaind" unlike you I know him. "Whats with that.. you were on the day before you posted that too!" now WHAT does that have to do with not being on in acouple of weeks? Like I said before. Stick to the topics and u'll do fine.
Svensta	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 8:47 AM When did someone's opinion of a given band become a universal reality as to the quality of that band's music?
dicktruth	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 1:55 PM w3rd
TripEclipse	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 2:51 PM I plead the FIF
WhoBlah-Style	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 3:57 PM "When did someone's opinion of a given band become a universal reality as to the quality of that band's music?" here's a better question... When did.... stfu
WhoBlah-Style	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 4:05 PM w3rd ?
dicktruth	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 5:48 PM I bloody love you
ebarbarella	Date: September 9, 2004 @ 5:51 PM i dont like linkin part
jessemills	Date: September 14, 2004 @ 10:16 PM whiny lyrics like something a 15 year-old goth chick would write...every song sounding just like the last one trendy guys with trendy clothes and trendy identical goatees... these guys are making millions off of the angst of Hot Topic wearing mall kids. and that wouldn't be so bad if the music was even the least bit interesting.
Thunder-Net	Date: September 15, 2004 @ 3:03 AM lol someones jealous
pancreaspuppet	Date: September 15, 2004 @ 12:12 PM I'm not a huge fan of Linkin, but I can see why others are. You name any band, artist, or composer and I guarantee an argument can be constructed as to why they are the worst ever. Or best, depending on what you're trying to say. There is no such thing as bad music if people like it. I don't particularly like Indonesian Gamelan music - in fact I can't stand it, however there are a whole nation of people who love it. This leads me to think that its not bad music, its simply that I don't connect with it in the way others do. I think would be extremely ignorant of me to say "I don't get it so it must be crap, and those thousands of people who totally live for it are just delusional." Don't you think this applies to Linkin Park, or any band? If any one person likes something then it is valid and there must be something about it which is likeable, and it is ignorant and demeaning to those who do enjoy it to say otherwise. There is no such thing as inferior taste. If my favorite sound is the clock ticking on the wall then no-one can tell me I am wrong for liking that sound; the same goes for music. John Cage, once said: "The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason."
dicktruth	Date: September 15, 2004 @ 12:20 PM
mudshadow	Date: September 18, 2004 @ 4:33 PM Just for the sake of argument, I wouldn't say they "suck", but I would say they "blow".
Intergalacti...	Date: October 21, 2004 @ 1:38 PM The correct grammar would be 'why DO they suck so bad?' Anyway on to more important matters, They don't suck at all, I'm not a fan of them at all and of all the people in the world I'm probably in the top fifty of people who hate them. But they can play they're instruments and some of the vocal lines they come out with are great people hate them cos they're all the same. They made it and a lot of people are sour about it, that doesnt mean they're better or worse than Linkin park just the fact that they had somethin at the time they were signed. They've had quite a following and don't look to be ending theyir career anytime soon. God knows I wish they would still they're talented kids.
chrismacmanus	Date: October 21, 2004 @ 1:42 PM hmmmm grammatically correct I'm afraid: Why does (the band) Linkin' Park suck so bad?
victorsskull	Date: October 21, 2004 @ 1:45 PM they just do
DeltaF86	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 1:28 AM Brett, you need to print this off when it gets to 10 pages
koiulpoi	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 6:34 AM Alright - they almost have talent. I'll give you that. The Beat DJ can whip up some beats. That one song without vocals that made it onto the Matrix Reloaded (I Think) soundtrack is actually good. Other than that, They a) have catchy tunes that get stuck in your head b) the RIAA loves them, and being their bitches, will get a bit of airtime. Once made, they will be pimped out and people will love them. Remember, most people have very little (if any) taste in music.
TransAutobot	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 12:29 PM lol @ "people have very little (if any) taste in music."? I disagree with that. People have their "own" taste in music. The same with you and everyone else. They like what they like. Not everyones gonna like the same thing, thats why theirs so many varitions in genres that are sucessful. For example: Ska, polka, bluegrass, hip-hop and a bunch of other categories. My taste in music could be very different to another persons musical choses but that doesnt mean that "he has little taste in music", or vice versa.
Hlao-roo	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 2:45 PM OMG this post has gone on forever! It started out as one guy trying to get points and carrying out a bet... So far I have seen about a million posts so far... Half of them are off topic and the other half is discussions between the posters... All for points too... you guys have givin him about 100... and no end in sight... sigh I hate you Brett, and I'll get more points than you someday... Matane
TransAutobot	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 3:24 PM i already knew that Gotta read the whole topic and replies before you jump in, which I do so I dont get confused
Irelevemyslf...	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 6:23 PM Chance I just started this thing because you told me about it... and Someday I will out rule you, Arron, and Brett.. What now mwahahahahahahah
Irelevemyslf...	Date: October 27, 2004 @ 6:25 PM oh and I like Linkin Park.....rock on
Intergalacti...	Date: October 28, 2004 @ 10:21 AM ANd just cos they have piano doesnt mean they have variation the songs with the piano sound exactly the same as all their others apart from with a piano
2step-4eva	Date: November 8, 2004 @ 1:12 PM the worst thing about linkin park is that they appeal to all the saddest and geekiest kids in school, and also the lyrics r crap, but if u listen to the music it is amazing and just highlights the fact that most rock bands seem 2 be not quite there musically and dont seem to understand how 2 make any music that u could actually listen to for 30 seconds without getting bored... linkin park kno what sounds good, they r not pretentious or self-obsessed but they care about music. of course im sure lots of u like rock music but thats cos u have inferior taste.
2step-4eva	Date: November 8, 2004 @ 1:19 PM i realise i just dug up a week old thread, i now apologise
azhazhellfire	Date: November 8, 2004 @ 4:37 PM Why do we have so many of these stupid threads full of people giving their oppinion. Revelation: Nobody cares what you think, especially when it comes to music. What you say will not change a single person's taste in music. The biggest thing you are likely to achieve is bringing everyone else's respect for you down to a muscular 0. My oppinion, however, is a completely different story. From this point forward you will all praise linkin park as your one true infinitely talented, all knowing musical gods due to the fact that i think linkin park rules. Thank you for your time.
Hybridfan	Date: January 6, 2005 @ 9:11 PM Wow, you guys rock! And i'm being completley serious. Even if you don't like LP, or like them. You guys are the most considerate music lovers i've ever seen. I mean expecially since this is more of an indie site. Everytime someone talks about LP on a different Message Board, people stop and attack that person. I don't understand why people waste so much time on hating a band. I love them, and i don't care if people hate them. Everyone has there own opinions. People are always throwing crap at them like thier mainstream, popular, everybody likes them. To me i'm like that's bad? Becuase you see why are they popular? Why do people listen to them? Becuase people enjoy it, they like listening to Linkin Park. And thats how you sum up good music...if people enjoy it. Thats what music is all about...whats music if were forced to like something and not like it. Doesn't matter who makes it, or how it's made. But Linkin Park is indeed talented...i don't only love them though. I like a whole bunch of music not just them. Besides people that hate Linkin Park are the one's that keep them popular.
moam	Date: January 7, 2005 @ 3:47 AM Damn good points there Well said
