>Always thought Numb was a song about lonliness and isolation as a teenager
>it's actually about some kid being mad at his dad for pushing him too hard

what a KWAB song.

fr fr my dad told me to get a job and I started blasting this song all night. Chester knew what it was like to deal with shitty parents.

>>128041576 (OP)
were you never a teenager, faggot?

>>128041576 (OP)
Its about his cock after doing cocaine lmao at your fake news

>>128042742
the music video is some femcel who can't make friends in school so I figured the song was about that.

>>128042821
actually you got a point, a music video about the real meaning would've been so much worse.

>>128041576 (OP)
Linkin Park's music is juvenile? Wow. I didn’t know that. I just—you’re telling me now for the first time.

>>128041576 (OP)
its about him getting molested by his dad

>>128042913
Linkin park is shit

>>128042952
Chester Bennington led an amazing life. What else can you say? He was an amazing woman. Whether you agree or not, he was an amazing woman who led an amazing life.

>>128042974
True. He died with chris cornell trying to help the Trump administration take down sex traffickers.

>>128041576 (OP)
i'm glad this cringelord faggot ACK'd himself so we don't have to hear shit shitty "singing" anymore

>>128041576 (OP)
Lincoln Park is genuinely one of the shittiest bands of all time

>>128042913
it's not about being juvenile, its about having a different meaning than they portrayed. It's misleading to people like me.

>>128042974
he had 6 kids as well.

Yes being angry at your parents is a completely illegitimate feeling to write a song about. We should all pretend like we were never young and were always le based and stoic.

>>128043238
nobody writes about that anymore. Did parents give up?

>>128043694
not that anon but i had the exact same thought

>>128042933
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT YOU'RE SMOTHERING ME
HOLDING TOO TIGHTLY, AFRAID TO LOSE CONTROL

>>128043694
Because its unfashionable to complain about your parents right now. Especially musicians who for the most part now are rich kids

>>128043694
Millennial "parents" are mostly enablers who let the children do whatever they want.

>>128042952
>>128043028
They are somehow even worse now that they have a lesbian scientologist as a singer

>>128045843
I never cared about them as a favorite or anything like that, but they were decent. I liked them before and I like them now. Lead singer matters, but the band as a whole matters more. I would prefer a man instead of a chick, but whatever.

>>128045843
>>128045877
she’s a terrible person. literally anyone else would be better than her

>>128045877
>>128045887
is it true teddy swims was considered before the woman was chosen?

>>128045892
Don't know, I don't follow news about them. That's interesting if true. A short, fat guy kek.

>>128045814
You mean your Gen X parents, seething tablet zoomie

>>128045892
Yea he has a songwriting credit and somewhere there are recordings of him rehearsing. They chose emily instead because of money and pressure from the church of scientology

>>128045843
>>128045887
I don't like her either, but I'm not about to hate my favorite band (yes, I like them a lot), because of one member. Shitting on Linkin Park, because of her, is retroactively shitting on Chester as well and that's a no go for me.

>>128045892
I saw something about that on youtube in a Teddy interview, so probably true. I think he was one of the (many?) people that did sessions with the band.

>>128045945
She ruined the band. Chester would’ve never approved her

>>128045958
>She ruined the band.

I can't speak about that unless I hear them live. I have to check if they will do US tours next year, I am curios.

>Chester would’ve never approved her

RIP to my boy. As long as she keeps her mouth shut about the scientology shit I'll keep being a fan of the band. One person can't ruin 5 others for me, not when I've been a fan for 20 years, you know? I think Mike is very aware of that and they stay away from political/religious/contentious topics.

>>128045958
>>128046004
we will always have the old stuff, singers change all the time, unless time travel is invented no one can ruin the music catalog

>>128042821
women can't be incels, even the ugliest ones

>>128046004
They just finished a tour. They are mostly playing new stuff, it’s not good and it’s sad seeing the scientologist bitch ruin the hits that they have to play. They should’ve just changed the name of the band, instead of tricking people into buying tickets to linkin park and seeing the scientologist grandma show

trent from NIN should have been the new singer, change my mind

>>128046693
do you hate tom cruise too?

>>128043019
He was a good singer, even if the band is a meme.

>>128043694
Because modern musicians didn't have GI/Silent Generation war vet parents who beat them with a belt and called them a faggot.

>>128046722
Great idea
>>128046734
go away

>>128046751
My dad beat me with a belt, but never called me a faggot. Because I'm not one. In addition to my mom and brother beating me.
I'd also never write lame shit like Chester.

chester was a cringelord faggot, linkin park was teen angst bullshit the band, shinoda can't rap and the bitch is a lesbian hag

fuck outta my face

>>128046791
nice and succinct

>>128046791
>teen angst bullshit
I like teen angst. Just not teen angst bullshit.

>>128046834
pedo

why THE FUCK do you even care about some shitty babd either way? go outside or play a game or something

>>128046837
Wtf are you talking about.

The song is about Chester wanting to transition into a female but his parents disapproving. Very powerful song.

>>128047207
that's disgusting

>>128041576 (OP)
YOU THINK YOU'RE HOT SHIT DON'T YA

Korn made their own version of this shit with dead bodies everywhere.

Is there actually any numetal band for men and not sissies? no wigger money/money/pussy/pussy shit like limp bizkit either.

>>128041576 (OP)
If his dad had pushed him harder maybe he wouldn't have grown up to be a spineless wining faggot

>>128043010
so true sis.
RIP EPSTEIN
Suicided too soon.

>>128041576 (OP)
I'm glad we can all admit Chester was a shitty person. Dude was a multi-millionaire with 6 kids, massively respected and he still killed himself. He could've just retired and done nothing for his whole life. Oh no i'm rich and sad and i could do literally anything i wanted to fix my ennui but i'm gonna off myself. It takes an incredible level of selfishness to have more than 99.99999% of all people that have ever lived and it not be enough.

Depression is powerful. It’s sad that you don’t respect his struggle

>>128051984
Wow what a faggot.

>>128051984
that proves my point not yours

>>128051984
mike is quite literally the only reason linkin park continued
he was in chester's shadow the entire time linkin park existed, the only time he really stood on his own was fort minor which still paled in comparison
when chester died the band should have ended because his singing was synonymous with the band
if they let the band end however, mike shinoda would go back to being irrelevant and trying to get attention on social media like he did during covid
so, he decided to keep it going and picked up a random singer so that the gravy train would keep rolling

>>128052593
he has 150 mil net worth, he doesn't have to do anything, ever

>>128052648
that's a really interesting choice of inflation

>>128050588
KEK WHAT A BITCH

>>128052652
ok that's really weird, I checked last year after I heard LP are back and I swear it was 150.

>>128052652
same difference, he is loaded

>Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

>'Cause everything that you thought I would be
>Has fallen apart right in front of you

You'd have to not know English to think this was about anything other than frustration towards a possessive parental figure. You could expand this figure to being society at large, if you wanted, but societal pressures are manifested through individuals, so the meaning would hardly change.

>>128052593
So it was his choice to ruin the bands legacy

daily reminder that shinoda can't rap

>>128055350
>literally has a side band for rapping
>several albums

>anon discovers Linkin Park lyrics are shallow generic sad teenage shit whose singer took very seriously for some reason
lol how old are you? why do you think their fanbase consisted of dumb sad alt-teens

>>128042913

the thing is, these painfully cringeworthy lyrics actually had meaning to the singer who would later kill himself lol

>>128056380
my point was I thought the song was about being a loser and that's what the video was about. Why didn't they make the video about someone's dad being harsh on them?

I think it's a general person A messes with person B by having high expectations and criticism. Could be a parent, could be a lover, teacher, etc.

the fuck does KWAB mean?

>>128056450
There was a trend of music videos being different from the subject material, especially after the Pearl Jam “Jeremy” video. I think that’s where the confusion comes from

>>128056556
how new
>>128052654

still tony btw

>>128056574
I don't see how there is confusion. They obviously were deliberate with it to capitalize on their loser fanbase who had no friends.

>>128056600

It’s the emilyspammer trolling this thread
