Aw man, this sucks. Linkin Park became huge when I was 13 or so, and I loved them until I realized that it was poisonously lame to love them. But a couple months ago, I went back and listened to a few songs, and realized a) that they’re genuinely great and b) the “lameness” was a consequence of being super-duper earnest, which seems to have had its moment c. 2008 (and lasted until we elected an internet troll for president, but that’s a different story). So what I’m trying to say, I guess, is that Linkin Park were responsible for Obama, and that I’m sad today.
