A nu-metal band who combine the following attributes to appeal to the mainstream:
- Vocals ranging from whimpering-to-screaming
- Rapping
- Computer generated music (particularly for song intros)
- Repetitive and extremely simplistic guitar playing
- Contrived dj scratching
- Lyrics stressing "pain, wounds (unhealing wounds in some cases), - memories and running away" without justification so as to appeal to the majority of teenagers or anybody who has ever felt a bit sad in their life.
- Songs strictly 2:30 to 3:30 minutes in length to fit radioplay standards rather than show musical expression.
- Gimmicky albums where songs are re-arranged and re-performed are put out more than their actual studio albums with original music (of which they have two, 'Hybrid Theory' and 'Meteroa')
Some typical linkin park lyrics
- "memories consume like opening the wound"
- "crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal"
- "it's easier to run replacing this pain with something numb"
1. Rap/metal/rock band with an intriguing beat and dark lyrics.
2. A group known only for the lead singer, Chester Bennington, who pretty much makes Linkin Park what it is.
3. Regarding quality of music: To all their own. Yet the blatant messages of teenage angst don't always apply...even though most of their fanbase is stuck on the literal.
She can't hide no matter how much she tries,
Her secret disguised behind the lies.
And at night she cries away her pride,
With eyes shut tight staring at her inside.
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night.
All her family asking if she's alright.
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell.
But all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself.
"Carousel"
Damn, your music's so teenage angst it could rival Linkin Park's.
When you suck a cock, if you slide your tongue between the head and the headskin and proceed to a long lingual caress of the headskin from within, you are licking the stamp.
Oh baby, oh, oh... lick the stamp, yes, lick the stamp of my cock! Oh yes... yes...
