Why does Linkin Park get so much hate, /mu/?
/mu/ likes a thousand suns.

No we don't, stop making us look bad
>>61427007
well Mike Shinoda called out Lauren Mayberry and then backtracked when she threatened to write an article about him
so he's a beta male feminist
because the majority of people here probably listened to it when they were kids and got bullied for it
They had/have some strong affiliations with nu-metal. Arguable they were the commercial height of that genre. And the least masculine.
Could say that they were a pretty cynical synthesis of all the prevailing trends at the time. But when bowie or nirvana or radiohead or ect... do it critics seem to like it. So i dunno mate.

Their awful lyricism and image panders to young teens, and most people here despite being that age feel they are somehow above that.
>>61427007
When did they get a girl in their band?
Hybrid Theory was 7/10, Meteora was 5/10 (though Somewhere I Belong was 7/10), and everything else was much much worse.

when your mum had an affair
>>61427007
because we all liked them as kids and now we're embarrassed about it
>>61427007
Makes no sense, since Linkin Park are basically the Death Grips 1.0, who are moo's favorite group.

Speak for yourself.
I'm perfectly fine with the fact I liked them growing up, even in high school with MInutes to Midnight.
>tfw i found my old cheap chinese mp3 player from 2005 that's full of 128kbps linkin park mp3s and other pre-teencore
>tfw listening to it and realizing how bad my taste was but still can't help but feel nostalgic about it all
i wondered how i ever pulled myself out of that bottomless pit of shit taste
then i realized where i am
Their overdramatic lyricism mixed with Mike Shinoda's awkward punk rap thing never worked back then and they couldn't seem to figure that out.

>not liking Mike's unique rap style
u wot

It's so fucking awkward when you switch back and forth from Mike rapping to Chester being a screaming idiot. But hey, 12 year old me liked it.
Because they are an edgy, sad-teen band who are just good enough that it's hard to make convincing arguments of how much they such.

*suck
>>61427550
it was dope avant garde new metal
They were pretty mediocre with shitty edgy lyrics

>implying I'm the only adult who still enjoys Linkin Park
Sure some of their songs are edgy, but they aren't as bad as /mu/ makes them out to be.
