Today they released teens reacting to ska. Thought you’ll appreciate that….
If your looking for lucas, try kids react 5 years ago
It's not Linkin Parks fault they are that good lol.
@@beacarrilloc I watched that. I miss the old channel when they would react to different lyrics by a singer or band
They did a Linkin Park reacts to this video
... Cheap graphics? "CHEAP GRAPHICS?!" THOSE GRAPHICS WERE NOT CHEAP AT THE TIME, YOUNG LADY. WE WALKED UPHILL BOTH WAYS.
In the snow with no shoes
It used to take 13 minutes to load a jpeg in my day, and 6 minutes just to sign on to the internet.
Seen Shinoda react to them? He says that it didn't pass then either. 😂
We are old now dude. It sucks. But we are. I fucking hate the youth and now have extreme sympathy for my parents lol
We coded uphill all ways!
Can't believe it's almost been 6 years since Chester died. Damn I feel old af.
It's heartbreaking.
in the end, it doesnt really matter
@@seanbrooks2583 He did
No kidding, I'm gonna pick up the meteora rerelease, was checking the extended behind the scenes stuff they put on their YT recently to celebrate the anniversary. Wonderful times, that Projekt Revolution tour era allowed me to see so many classic acts from Korn, MCR, Snoop, Mastadon, Ghostface Killah, MSI (what happened to them?), HIM, Chris Cornell, and more live.
Whaattt??!! Boy my time awareness is f*ked up, I for sure tought it was something like 12 years ago or at the very bare minimum around 2014.
To be fair, I never followed them and was just aware of his death because I'm not leaving under a rock, but clearly I was off by a lot.
It's interesting to watch how Chester's lyrics were made fun of and weren't taken seriously before his passing. Every song hits very different today.
This, as "dramatic" as it is, his lyrics are much better than the likes of Good Charlotte, Simple Plan.
Takes "Perfect" and "Numb". Both are essentially about the same thing, but when you look into the lyrics and how they delivered it.
One goes "HEY DAD LOOK AT ME"
One goes "Every step that I take is another mistake to you"
Video like this are cringe and people fall it 🤣
The generation started between the mid-late 90s lets just use 97 so no one corrects me but even they grew up with their music
Everyone has no idea what ‘gen z’ is they think its just hip teens when many are in their 20s now.
What gets me is that people were shocked that he offed himself. I mean, did you hear the lyrics? Most songs were about perceiving himself as a failure and such-and-such doesn't even matter.
@@latdamon3602 I mean, there are plenty portion people out there that thinks Chester's stories were manucfactured
don't know if it'll ever be addressed how the band's entire fanbase turned against them the year they put out that new album and relentlessly attacked chester for being melodramatic.
As a Gen Zer who has cried over Chester Bennington and the One More Light video too many times I can confirm a lot of us care deeply. Chester is one of my biggest inspirations vocally, whether it’s LP, Grey Daze, Dead By Sunrise, or soundtrack songs, I love what he does! The band as a whole has been there for me since I was little, and I’ve always looked up to them because I love artists who aren’t afraid to play with genres. They’ll always mean a lot to me, and I’ve always said if I ever got the impossible opportunity to sing for any already established band it’d be them (sort of like what Queen did with Adam Lambert)
As a kid I would dream of one day sharing a stage with Chester 🥲
I met Chester he was a great guy we got a chance to talk and bond on a personal level I found out about his suicide via a connection with his family and I legit cried nonstop for 2 days I was at the farewell concert and I broke down during shadow of the day
Linkin Park are such a universal band, I think even 20 years from now new audiences will enjoy their music
Like Johnny Cash's version of Hurt
Their 20 year old unreleased song Lost was like #1 on alternative rock charts for nearly 3 months straight. Amazing stuff
"disrespect your surroundings" 😂 you've got me I couldn't stop laughing
It was Joe Hahn who went to Japan for the "Breaking the Habit" video the studio Gonzo animation liked working with him so much they hired him. He was on the books as a director for them up until fairly recently.
I find it really hard to listen to Linkin Park after Chester's death. So many of their lyrics are cries for help. I did some project in middle school where we had to do something with song lyrics and I used "Breaking the Habit" and my teacher ended up recommending me for counseling that after the fact I realized I very much needed. Their music did a lot less blaming outside sources for their problems and really expressed that "I just feel fundamentally broken" feeling that comes with depression and anxiety.
Their music was so cathartic to a lot of teenagers who felt hopeless and they were mainstream enough that it wasn't just the kids who were already deep in the alternative heavy music scene. Their fanbase was a lot more racially diverse than the more niche bands of the time as well.
The first time I listened to "Breaking the Habit" after he died I was actually on the verge of tears
I find it hard too but as someone who has similar thoughts, the music is very comforting for me. It feels like someone gets it. I just can’t think about it beyond that, because then I’ll get upset.
It was also a very important band for anyone who has anxiety and depression and came from an abusive background. For me Linkin Park got me through my childhood trauma.
I feel like us 25-30 year olds heard Linkin Park years ago and fell in love immediately. Kids now just aren’t as interested in this kind of sound and it’s crazy to me. They’ve just been exposed to so much different stuff.
I'm 32 and I've never liked them.
heard them first @ 13 yrs old and loved them right away lol
8 yrs later (21 yrs old now) and still think they're good
Wdym... I'm 18 years old and Linkin Park was kind of my first exposure to more rock-ended music and I loved the band. Everyone knows LP and they're universally appreciated by everyone.
@@iusethisplatform I’m just saying that the age group I mentioned had a distinct exposure to it, especially with early UA-cam. I’m not saying younger or older people can’t love it lol.
Yep I’m 31 and I remember cranking up the car radio when “Crawling” came on and my brother and I loved it. My Dad hated the “heavy metal” lol.
This is the band that helped a lot of people who were struggling with mental health go through school and deal with an abusive household. It's really hard to watch people dissing a band, that came out with album, after album, that spoke to me at my emotional core. Every song felt relevant to the things I was going on in my own life. And it's disappointing that this band was or is considered to be cringe, when this is literally the band who could put into words everything that I felt inside. And people will make fun of people who feel this way. But music can be very important in people's lives and this band was so influential. I miss Chester. Chester is probably the only celebrity that I have cried about their passing because of how influential they were in my life.
The teen hating on LP's later stuff as pop shit really skimmed over that Chester had such original LP sounds as My December or any of the numerous softer songs he had scattered over their albums from his beginnings with the group. He was ALWAYS drawn to that particular sound and style. It wasn't a late era thing
I hope the next "try not to cringe" video should be about Shinoda reacting to teens reacting to Linkin Park. And so on.
I'm sure he already did that
I honestly *hated* Linkin Park when they came out. They've grown on me over the years, but I associate them so heavily with such a shitty time in my life that I still can't jibe with them on any deeper level. That said, "Numb/Encore" with Jay Z is one of my all-time favorite collabs, and I respect the hell out of their talent.
I absolutely loved LP, but hated Numb because basically everyone who didn't even listen to them loved that song lol
@@djomla9999 because it’s genuinely a very good song
@@BaconSlayer69 it definitely is, but little gatekeeper me wouldn't accept that
Linkin Park was literally my formative childhood music, first full album I ever listened to was Meteora 18 years ago, and now I'm waiting on my Meteora20 to arrive.
"If you wear a punisher hat today you're basically a nazi"
I spit out my coffee bro😂
I'm a Metalhead, and I've been a Metalhead for 15 years, I just turned 28 yesterday, and I grew up in the 90's and early 2000's listening to Linkin Park, my mom got me into Linkin Park and Evanescence. Eventually I got myself into Disturbed, FFDP, and then it just got heavier and heavier. Technical Death Metal, Progressive Metal, and DSBM etc... glad I got to grow up in the Linkin Park era.. now that I'm 28...😢 it looks like I'm getting old 🧓...
If you can start listening to Tool. All those bands wouldn’t matter. They’re that good.
Linkin park saw all the final fantasy AMVs for One Step Closer and thought "we can do that ourselves for in the end."
I legitimately can't listen to Linkin Park anymore. It's to depressing to know I'm literally listening to a guys 15 year long suicide note. Chokes me up to much.
It is kinda jarring, like he is so direct with his lyrics. I wish he was still here and somehow figured his head out.
@@Manic_Mitch.official I rememer vividly listening to Dr. Drew's love line back in the day on the radio and Chester came onto the show. 90% of the calls were people thanking him for helping them out of a dark place in their lives, many of them had attempted suicide and told him how much his music actually backed them off a ledge. Jarring is an understatement.
Yep, not even Kurt Cobain was that direct.
His ending verse on the song " Slow ya Roll " with G-Unit's Young Buck is so sad to listen now.
I love every Linkin Park's album (LPU also). Every album is a banger in many different ways but you have to be open-minded to understand everything they put out.
I think it is underestimated how much stuff like Linkin Park and Staind really segueyed into the emo post hardcore trend that came a few years later. And I didn't appreciate any of that until a bit later in my twenties, but it all makes sense. I grew up listening to grown men crying about their childhoods over drop D guitars.
Headbanging from the waist, such a nu metal thing.
Back in my day we used to disrespect our elders wtf is wrong with kids these days?
They only disrespect millennials now haha, we signed The Generation Treaty where we all agreed to hate millennials for peace between all other gens it was signed by Michael Stipe and 100 Gecs at The Haige Criminal Court in June 2016. The kids had to hate noted millennial defining group Linkin Park or risk causing international incident up onto warcrimes.
It’s not just lip rings that are back. I hadn’t seen a tongue ring on anyone for like 15 years until recently.
The tragedy of Chester's passing does not diminish the travesty of one more light.
My first exposure to LP was back in the day when the Transformers movies came out. Didn’t really get that into them until around after Chester passed away, RIP. Def remember the impact their songs had on memes during my teenage years, same with Smash Mouth and Evanescence
Mate you make me feel old, I remember listening to Hybrid Theory in 2001
Believe it or not, but songs like Crawling won a Grammy. Chester's voice was a league above other similar bands that came out during that time. And when they put out their final single In The End for Hybrid Theory, that doubled and then quadrupled their album sales.
@@jariemonah Believe me, half of Metal/Rock bands would easily benefit from having good vocalists like him
It's honestly really interesting seeing the difference between teenagers 5 years ago vs teenagers now.
I’m in the age group of those guys in the video (now already in my mid 20s, that hurts). I think we as early Gen Z kids were still aware of Linkin Park and their influence on Rock and Metal. I first heard One Step Closer as a 6 year old on my dad’s mp3-player and later grew on Linkin Park as a kid. I guess we’re on the intermediate state between TikTok zoomers and millennials where we kind of were aware of the things happening in the early to mid 2000s. So it’s not surprising to me that those guys loved Linkin Park.
I always thought they were corny when they dropped the first album. At the time,I was still enjoying discovering underground punk/hardcore/metal but over the last few years I've started appreciating them more and enjoy listening to the first two albums.
Same. When they got big i was phasing ou of nu metal and getting into Slayer, 80´s Metallica, death metal, hardcore, grindcore, etc.
I got into them in the last few years and really like their first albums
Great band, I was more in to them on their first 3 albums. I saw them live once and they were excellent. Only thing I thought was corny was that during the set change from Incubus to Linkin Park, they played In the End over the speakers. Then they played it live... Only band I've seen live to play their own music prior to coming on stage.
Finn practicing his parenting on this one lol. Linkin park will always be legends omg I was obsessed with them in middle school and forever on lol
Thanks for the Sports Metal coverage, Coach Finn!
Well the closest thing to rock for Gen Z is Imagine Dragons. I don't even know if they use guitars tbh.
I don't expect Linkin Park to hit the same for people who weren't preteens when Hybrid Theory came out.Punisher hat guy had a point they departed from their hybrid theory sound ,they are most definitely more pop influenced after and its not just a gatekeepers perspective, whether it's good is subjective. I know I liked there later work after revisiting it a few times but it is a jump for a listener who is only familiar with where they started.
I was 14 when linkin park came out. And I had been really into Nu Metal. But around that same time. I found post hardcore bands like Thursday - and I loved it. As well as metalcore bands like Converge and Dillinger and bands that were a lot more abrasive. So I really missed the linkin park train growing up cause I thought of them as another radio rock band. And especially back then- shit like that “mattered”
But 2 decades later. I can say that I really appreciate their music. Even if I don’t listen to it - I can see why they blew up. The lyrics and songwriting and choruses are pretty fuckin top tier
Without linkin park - what would Ollie Sykes be doing these days lol?
fvkin vibed with that a ton. unbelievable level of quality. I feel like they just keep getting better and better. 🔥🔥🔥
Listening to Linkin Park for me always goes like this - Wow, absolutely amazing. The music, Chester's singing, just perfection and then the rapping starts and I'm like - oh ok, this is corny.
Mike's rap is way much better than most Nu Metal rappers tbh (Corey Taylor included)
@@skskskpost8852 that's an interesting comparison
@@skskskpost8852 Corey Taylor had some horrible bars.
@@redherring5532 Love Corey as a Vocalist though
Love this channel not only for your knowledge of music but Finn you are genuinely hilarious as well thank you so much 😂
Trivia: Joe Hahn also directed the MV of Story Of The Year's "Anthem Of Our Dying Day".
I’m 19, and love Linkin Park. I’ve had some of my friends give them a listen, but I’m afraid it doesn’t really match their tastes. Completely understandable though, everyone has their own preferences. My oldest brother grew up listening to LP and System of a Down, and so I started listening because I wanted to connect a little more with him, especially given how big of an age gap between him and I. To put that into perspective, he’s 33, 14 years older than me.
*That anime that studio produced after Breaking The Habbit music video was Afro Samurai, which is an amazing anime.
„Multiple Unicorn Horns“ Good one 😂
I don’t get how they don’t know bands from 25 years ago. Growing up I knew all my dads bands
But that's just you. Not everyone has the same childhood.
@@eaglesandowls well ya know that is might be true but a majority of my generation if not all are fimilar with said “dads music” with or without “dad” being in the equation. Different times I suppose. We also had radio and tv and we’re not bogged down by socials and other things . It’s just a very different world today .
@@eaglesandowls furthermore my “childhood” is not represented off knowing what my dad listened to lol trust me you have no idea the childhood I had
I think Finn was referring to Gonzo KK for the Breaking The Habit mv. At that point, they did Hellsing and Full Metal Panic.
I haven't listened to Linking Park for so long, such a nostalgia, gonna listen again to all their stuff again the next days, thx Finn :)
LP remains one of my favorite bands even when I've gotten into more jazz for college and other more complex music. Rock and rap being mixed was still kind of this new thing that people were polarized on even after the success of hybrid theory and meteora. I can get how they sound samey, but I dunno- I've just come to appreciate that simplicity over the years. I didn't like all the stuff after a thousand suns ( this album actually REALLY still holds up with modern rock and pop), but they really inspired me to look for good music in any genre and that there are still many new sounds that can become popular.
I love when you make these videos the best
You definitely had me going at the “Oblivion graphics.” Lol
3:32 Today I learned, I am not a musician. 🤣 6:02 Her calling the "In the End" video cheap is funny as shit.
This video was before they fell off once. After that they started doing the rage bait just so that the fine brothers got a payday. It’s scripted asf and anything that doesn’t align with what they want to make it seem like the person likes, they cut out.
And now Finn it's baiting us 😢 but I'm fine with it
One day I felt so real, it didn't even matter how real I feel, I felt this reality, straight to my soul, the reality I felt made me lose control, then I felt feels, real feels did I feel and the memory of those feels became suddenly real.
What Song is this from? 🤔
I watched the Do Teens Know Pop Punk videos and Eric was in them and he started “I don’t know anything about early 2000s punk rock” and then first song he’s singing along to Ocean Avenue
Shoutout Hodgy Beats, shoutout Domo Genesis, shoutout to Eric having a lip ring in 2017.
There is a video of this where mike Shinoda reacts to these kids reacting to linkin park. There is also a video of these kids reacting to mike shinoda reacting to these kids reacting to linkin park. Absolute gold content
XD Your old man yelling at cloud rants are classic.
Music can be timeless some of my favorite shit is from the 70’s and I wasn’t born until 75
Lucas is my favorite react kid.. he's been doing reactions since he was like 5-6 years old, and he already had that personality.. adorbs!
Their final thoughts remind me of the tweet that said I just told a 22-year-old I was 30 and she said, “that’s ok!!”
Mwel.. my daughter is 15 and loves LP, as well as Shinoda’s other work including rap collabs. I’ve even converted her to some of Slipknot & Bloodywood’s lighter stuff. I’m just so proud of her ❤🤘
I'm 36 and I know a ton of 18-26-year-old kids that LOVE Linkin Park. gen Z digs this. can confirm.
Finn thanks for recommending One More Light on a previous video. It is a great album
you trully would ghost write the best material i mean you already do on your own videos. i honestly get a kick out of your videos and your commentary. love your work man thank your for all the nostalgia.
"From a band that's been around for a long time." Stop it! I feel old now.
I love this 3 part series
In the end music video visual effect is top notch during the time, the hell that chick talking about lol
@FinnMcKenty, Finn do you know that they did a video with Mike Shinoda responding to this video? It's a great video.
I had no idea that Linkin Park received so much hate. I was never a fan, but I didn't dislike them.
My stepfather was a professional musician and producer back in the 60s and 70s, who thinks nothing of value has been made since the early 90s (Soundgarden in particular).
For years I've been sending him links to different artists in an attempt to convince him that good music still exists, to no avail. But I was shocked when he was genuinely enthusiastic about Polyphia.
I love these videos. It’s still fun even if this one didn’t have the sassy comments from the kids.
I say just accept your destiny and fully commit to becoming a 90s-2000s nostalgia channel. You’re great at it 😂
They made Mike Shinoda watch this video, then the kids watch Mike react to them, it’s actually a great series
Mate, you crack me up 😂 love your humour.
RIP the hedgehog head GOAT Chester❤
Damn the plot twist in the title, then the plot twist in the video, a full 360 showing that even gen Z loves Linkin Park
I mean I have extreme bias towards linkin park because they got me through a rough time in middle school but it’s interesting hearing others perspectives on hearing them for the first time
God damn man Chester and the bois are fuckin legends.
Linkin Park slaps. It’s like classic rock for 90s/00s kids so to speak. Given Up is a banger
I love how you're doing what Become The Knight used to do. Y'know, reacting to kids reacting to music.
Oblivion, Icewind Dale, Heretic, Even less known ones like DeathTrap Dungeon, Arcanum and og Xbox games like Unreal Championship The Liandari Conflict, Halo 2 hell Ninjagaiden etc had some epic cutscenes. Even POP Sands of Time Trilogy. And yes LP, Korn, POD, lost prophets, Bizkit along with Cypress Hill etc was the soundtrack of that era.
I am lucky that my local gym owner is a millenial. He is blasting Linkin Park and other 2000s music all day long. I don't even bring my own headphones anymore.
Damn. Learning this takes me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break.
I Remember the first album I ever listen to when I was a kid my neighbor had the meteora album I no idea at the time what it was but man it changed my life forever
Finn, they've already done teens react to SOAD, your wish was granted before you even knew you wanted it
Meteora on a leg day go hand in hand. EVERY song is hits.
Just clicked the video, haven’t watched yet. I already know this one is going to hurt.
Somewhere I belong is my favorite song, it makes me cry everytime
Finn practicing his parental skills in this video 🤣
"I'm expecting some daedra to come busting out of an Oblivion gate." I'm dead Finn. That horrible animation was the cherry on my sweet roll. 🤣
Finn, have you seen Guitar Musicians trying to figure out Nuno Bettencourt's solo on the new Extreme single 'Rise'. I think musicians are more than impressed.
That is the first thing I said "They are playing THIS for the first song from Linkin Park?!"
They cant help it the screen time rots their soft brains.
Lol I laugh so hard every time Finn points at the camera and starts yelling 😂
They definitely should have started with early LP then move to their other songs
Miss Chester so much ❤
Gen Z? more like gen L. How could anyone not like LP? They are by far the greatest nu metal band to ever exist and had one of the greatest crossover albums with Jay-Z of all time.
What are you talking about? Every kid in that video said they liked Linkin Park.
Greatest ever ?
@@josephrother7950 I comment before I watch the video like a true genius. Another W for me.
@@SconnerStudios Korn is the superior nu-metal band.
@@channtastic I'd argue Korn invented nu-metal. Of course, there was rap-rock before Korn. Maybe Rage is proto-nu-metal … And RATM is better than LP, too. So, there's that.
Funny how Tori says how hated they are, or how her friends hate them but from my knowledge linkin park is one of most liked bands, even my friends who don't like that type of music at all like them
back then they were still in that weird space of "being hated for playing nu-metal (originally)" and "being hated for 'going soft' " but people seem to have fully warmed up to them
I mean Linkin Park were despised they first came out. I got so much shit for liking them as a teen by anyone older in my family. They definitely are less hated now but that whole era of music is still majorly disliked by all the rock tastemakers who think it’s still 1990
@@phaaaze9984 right on; other than people my age, pretty much everyone seemed to hate them
“Don’t sass your elders!” 😂 You’ll be an amazing dad Finn. That tough love father energy is off the chain.
finally something I agree with. I didn't like them as a kid, I didn't like them as a teen, I don't like them as an adult. Worst mainstream metal band of all time IMO
They should have made One more light an EP with like 5 or 6 songs. There was some filler on it. But also some absolute bangers
Heavy, the title track, Talking To Myself, Battle Symphoby and Good Goodbye are good songs in my opinion. The rest is very meh tbh
I aimed hard for that hedgehog hair when I was around 14. closest I got to it, I had it on my ID, wearing an "anarchy gnome giving you the finger"-shirt
"How dare you disrespect Crazy Town?!", 😂😂😂
It does look like the realm of oblivion, and the daedra about to pop out😂
Breaking the habit is by far my favorite, I don’t know why the anime style of that video isn’t used more, love how lost has the same style.
finn tapping into performative boomer mode is my fave thing to watch.
wait, so linkin park are hated again?!?!? are we coming full circle?!?!? please no
Joe discovered the anime studio, and he directed the video. Thought you mentioned it in your LP video? Mike did not direct any of their videos lmao, Joe directed most of their music videos, who as you know does the programming, electronica, sampling and scratching. Mike works with Joe on the beats, artwork and crafting the sound of the band from their influences - the creative aspect of the band. Mike is the primary songwriter working with Chester with lyrics at times, and coproduces with Brad Delson who handles the business of the band more.
