FIRST TIME HEARING Linkin Park - Numb | REACTION!

[@hauminthang9222]

Chester is the most unique frontman!!!

I think Numb is such a fantastic song, because it does a really good job expressing a common experience that sadly many people have with their parents. It's certainly not confined to that type of relations, but I think that's the stereotype relationship for this kind of experience. There are sadly many parents who make their children walk in their shoes so to speak, and then criticise their child as they stumble along in shoes that will never fit them. Sometimes it's "well-meant", you only want "what's best for them", but the sad reality is that it often just ends up hurting the child. You teach them that who they are isn't good enough, and perhaps worse, you might even make them lose all sense of who they are. They end up feeling numb, because they can't connect with themselves anymore, lost somewhere between themselves and what you tried to make them. Depressing, yes, but I see this song as hopeful, and I think the music really reflects that. They say, "I know, I *may* end up failing too". May. There is an awareness of the pattern, even to the point of recognising that the parent probably grew up the same way, repeating the same cycle - but maybe the cycle ends here.

[@ancatdal]

@@SephPlays Thank you for reacting to this song, it's a joy as a fan to see others experience the songs for the first time!

[@J_Chaz17]

Linkin Park is a genre all its own! 😂

[@ashemobaby]

One of my favorite bands! Their songs have deep messages. Definitely got me through high school that's for sure. Please check out more of their songs. I don't think there's any of them you'll be disappointed in! By the way that's Mike Shinoda. He's fantastic with the rapping! Such a great group. RIP Chester. 💔

[@SephPlays]

Ill definitely cant wait to jump into some more of this group :D

[@ashemobaby]

@@SephPlays Awesome! Can't wait! 😁

[@conny53]

All their songs are deep and meaningfull, linkin park is nu metal, and i love them ❤️

[@michaelhenri2002]

epic song from a great band and they have a lot of great stuffs and albums too. Chester was one of the greatest voices out there..and he was a great Depeche mode fan too.

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

Alternative Rock/Metal

[@FaiRoxYourWorld1]

Please listen to "In The End"! There's much more rapping from Mike in that song :)

[@arjunvl8120]

You deserve more views ❤❤

[@SephPlays]

Thank you. This means alot to me!!!

[@wambo1228]

You should also check the live versions! There are "hard" versions like Numb Rock am Ring 2004 or more soft ones like Numb Telekom Street Gigs 2012

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

SEPH, I like Linkin Park. This particular song of theirs is a familiar one for me. I go in streaks, like other people, to what's today's feel good music.

[@Chris-wq7my]

To answer your question: what genre is linkin park? emotional and sincere music

[@vilperi29]

You have do more from them! In the End next?

[@SephPlays]

Ok i can do that :D

[@DPW864]

Early stuff (like this) was vaguely nu metal/rap rock, mid albums were sort of radio rock, then they went super electronic and experimental and finished off with an out and out pop album

[@alejozam]

Thanks for this reaction. Please react to more Linkin Park 🙋🏻‍♂️🫶🏼

[@ashutoshrane2928]

Please try "Given Up" by Linkin Park

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

If you would like to react to a recommended song, I would recommend the artist Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold

[@sandik964]

Could you do “The Youth by MGMT?”

[@westernsect5773]

Yawn.... Once you hear this you've heard all their back catalogue (Linkin Park fans with rip me a new arsehole)... But this is my opinion.. I've not killed anyone.. My opinion

[@mauricefricke6236]

That's objectively untrue. Albums like "A Thousand Suns" or "Minutes to Midnight" are wildly different from their earlier stuff. They were constantly evolving. Compare Numb to The Catalyst or Bleed it Out, you cannot say that their songs are all the same. You don't have to like them but your comment is just false.

[@JemJam2976]

Then you've only ever listened to Hybrid Theory and or Meteora. As Maurice has stated, each album is an evolution of the band. A personal favorite will always be Powerless off of Living Things. It's not Chester screaming, it's him actually singing.

[@gurglinghermits3043]

lol this take is so mid
