[@shona5512]

Little thing to note Alex; Linkin Park were hated in 2017. When they transitioned to the softer music, the fanbase changed too and the butthurt metalheads started shit talking the way they do with every other band that goes soft. People always acknowledged that Chester was immensely talented, but they also hated on them and called them trash because they'd lost their edge. Linkin Park only became completely universally loved when Chester died.. Everybody loves you when you're dead. It's a sad truth.

[@hehawseve3560]

Honestly they DID change a lot. I'm a huge fan, but listened way less when they changed their sound. I recognize what they were trying to do, but it just didn't hit me the way their older stuff did.

I didn't grow up on their songs, even though the timeline could've allowed this to happen (a kid of 2000s).

Is it still a crime then?)

[@vincentcloud]

I'm 40 was in HS and college when they were hot. One of the first CD I bought was Linkin Park(and DMX). I grew up in the 80's i still love to music from thst time...people don't appreciate the past anymore.

[@chrismatorium8993]

I have a feeling these kids were thrown in together to trigger fans. Honestly, I have rarely seen teenagers not relate to Linkin Park. Chester (RIP) performs with such honesty and sincerity. That is why his fans loved him and connected with him. He was all in when he performs… and by gawd any band would want a frontman like that. He will carry you on his shoulders and transcend decades and death. Chester is immortal!

It turns out that today's teenagers are overwhelmed with so many futile things, this can be seen with that girl talking in the video, I don't understand how anyone can judge something without even having known it first.

Linkin Park is single-handedly responsible for keeping me alive and getting me through so many dark points in my life. They’re also the reason I fell in love with music and started writing/recording/performing at such a young age

[@DarkKnight-q2d]

They helped me branch out with my music tastes and helped me find my own music outside just whatever my parents would listen to, so I’ve always had nothing but love and respect for them even though I didn’t care for their albums after Minutes to Midnight. Slipknot was the band that saved my life.

I personally have made it my mission to randomly introduce LP to all my mates children (once they hit the age of 13 or so because processing those thoughts is a bit much for younger minds). What I try to do is be the uncle that shows their kids interesting things and have those fun moments. I had a strong connection to my uncle who unfortunately passed away nearly 10 years ago (still haven't fully recovered from the loss) But I want to share that same thing my uncle did with others. Chester's vocals is a way I can share my pain and happiness with others. 2 unrelated people I respect so much have made me the man I am today and I can never thank them enough nor can I just give them a hug right now.

True linkin park fans just love the music. These youngsters opinions don't matter. If they can't feel the emotions poring out through the music, then they need to check what is important to them in life. Others and what they are going through matters. Tears me up listening to their music most of the time. I will always love them. Mike Shinoda is putting out some great music on his own to this day. Releasing songs that didn't quite make the albums has been cool too.

[@Boris8930]

Mate what it comes down to is music taste. A music taste cant never be wrong. I think they can feel emotions through music, but may some of them just isnt to linkin park which is ok. I like some of linkin parks music, but not all of it. I am a metal head, and many of my friends say the dont like metal, which is ok. People should maybe start think, hey not all people shares my opinions or music taste or what it might be. Not all people will not like the music you like, therefore there is alot of different genre of music, so there is music for anyone.

@@fvilxre. I fully get that... I was 25 when he passed and just never felt such a sense of loss from the death of a celebrity.

I am in 1000000000000% agreement with you, I was in highschool when LP's 1st album dropped. It really helped me express myself through their music & lyrics, they had a song for every emotion I experienced during that time in my life. I miss & love them very much. 🤘😎🤘❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🖤🖤🖤

[@RandomHeroSpotting]

I really really hate to tell you Alex, in 2017... Linkin Park was very hated on, from the latest "Heavy" to an album before. A lot of people really really dropped the band, critiquing and in an up roar that they are now "pop". It was very very sad to see. I always saw it as progression, as following the wave of people's taste as well as throwing a few heavier songs in the album. I remember seeing threads after heavy of people saying Linkin Park is dead, is over and Chester can't do harsh vocals anymore. I am very very sure unfortunately, this was a big factor of his passing that same year. The teen in the grey hat was literally the Linkin Park fans. They all turned so hard on the band. A universally loved band, was now getting a harder time than Nickleback. I heard Heavy by accident on the radio. It was a great song, however I didn't know it was Chester until he belted. I will never not recognise a Chester belt! But I thought I was a collab as Chester instead of Linkin Park. I went on KZbin and found the song... the comments were horrific. I will still vouch, Heavy is a good song. I actually get so choked up to remember 2017, to remember the news of Chester. I couldn't help but think... the fans which he loved and turned on him, were partly guilty. I had a Walkman! A tape Walkman which was Taz!

[@Adama85]

Firstly, I would like to point out that I have been a Linkin Park fan since my bro down the street put their first album in my CD player while we rollerblading in front of my house. I went all in since that first song. It wasn't easy for me when they changed styles but I knew that they were figuring out where they were going as a band. Even so, I kept listening, whether the new albums were heavy or not. I do think that some people abandoned them in those years but they also gained fans who liked their newer music over the old style. When Chester passed, a lot of people put away the negativity and remembered the positive things about Linkin Park. All that I can truly say is that LP saved my life multiple times over some pretty dark moments for me, over the years. Every song, every beat and every album came with it's own distinct set of feelings and memories that changed me. For that I say thank you Linkin Park. Thank you, Alex for bringing this content, as usual. I appreciate what you do.

"Heavy" just sounded like every other song that came out around the time. From a band like Linkin park who have always tried to sound different, it felt like they were betraying their roots to chase something that would be on a top 10 list rather than making a song that had any artistic integrity. At least that's how it was percieved.

[@jessemorones8990]

I was in the 6th grade when Hybrid Theory came out and their "One Step Closer" video came out, I thought it had such and amazing sound to it and I became obsessed with their music. I remember drawing their winged soldier just so I can put as my cover on my school binder. I still follow their work to this very day and even got to see them live just before Chester's passing. They've been perhaps the most dynamic band I ever witnessed, but yet, their sounds have always kept that uniqueness to them that still makes it Linkin Park. Not to mention, Chester's vocals are very distinct and unique. Even Rihanna called him a "vocal beast!"

[@RedFlame95]

Sounded like you didn't know their last album, you should definitely check it out it's a really good album. Heavy was the one in the video(great song)

[@Ghost11010]

The new stuff was certainly a shift, but still in a good way. I admire the art, passion, and the lyrics. Linkin Park's music has held a special place in my heart since the start. It was very relatable during my high school years, which is what made me a huge fan. "Numb" is my top favourite, followed by "Breaking the Habit." With their new Meteora 20th anniversary collection coming out, I'm definitely getting it. For me it's hard nostalgia and meaningful. I know the band's music has gotten many people through some hard times, myself included. Their music is definitely still relevant even today. I'm glad to see newer generations listening and appreciating Linkin Park.

If memory serve me well, and it doesn't (If someone wants to fact check me, I do not mind at all), when Minutes to Midnight dropped, the fanbase split. It was that album or A Thousand Suns. Linkin Park did get a lot of hate back in those days, but I respect them for sticking to how they did things. I've always appreciated their music, and they are one of the bands that I listened to when I was in a dark place. Because of them, I'm here today. When I heard the news about Chester, I was in tears. Looking back on almost every song they did, you could see signs of his struggles. And when Lost came out. Every time I hear that song, I'm in tears. Rest in Peace, Chester. You were loved by many.

Hey Alex. Great video. I have quite a connection to a few specific bands and Linkin Park is definitely one of them. You always know it’s Chester from the first two words out of his mouth. He had such a unique voice, with the talent for exceptionally sweet ballads as well as powerful control when he belted. The deep and utterly raw emotion you can feel through his voice is both chilling and mesmerizing. Through his music he was so helpful and supportive to so many people in pain. I just wish someone had been there for him so we wouldn’t have lost another amazing artist so young. 😢❤

[@darkjester3391]

Dude no joke you handled that better than most i know who'd saw this haha, I know people say that Linkin Park "fans" were not happy about the switch up in the music they did, But i've only ever met one in many years and even they admitted they only heard a song or two from the new songs that were put out at the time and disliked the whole album because of those two or three songs he'd heard. The point of music is to evolve and change, If you don't evolve and change your fans are going to grow out of the era of music, How we feel at 10 is different throughout our teen years to our 20's, Then we evolve and move past that because we're going through different things at different stages of life, Linkin Park is so good at what they did and do that they grew with people and were never afraid to change it up, People would even say In the End was poppy or more hip hop than metal or rock until the last what minute ? Fan's who complian that a group grew and evolved are honestly people stuck in the mud of there own lives and are bitter and angry that others moved on while they are stuck in place, Its all it is.. Miss Chester lots and without i doubt i know no other singter capable of singing as well and as good with the emotion he he had in his voice, Some come close, Damn close but none reach him and i'm sorry he's gone, We're all worse off without him. He's a Star, A legend and he'll always be missed by those who loved him.. Rest in peace Chester.

Numb hits me the hardest its honestly a perfect description of my childhood I grew up with linkin park i absolutely love them im always battling my own demons with depression and trying to live up to my family's expectations and its never been enough so recently I had to cut ties with some relatives so thats something im always putting on a brave face for my loved ones too so i don't exactly tell people im close to how hard things are getting so it feels kind of good to just type this out on here to a bunch of people who don't know me and hopefully don't mind but anyway sorry for dumping on here I know its weird for someone to just pop up and unload like that ig I kind of felt the need to but if its an issue I'll delete the post just let me know no big deal anywho always love watching ur videos keep up the great work

[@Thanatos9876]

I don't know when that video came out, but every time they said "still making music", it stung a little. RIP Chester...

[@agarven1]

Linkin Park is such an amazing band and loved Chester’s voice. I have a black and white picture signed by Rob Fenn who took the pic on my wall. The last album I really liked and I remember a lot of fans hating on it because they went pop. I liked it for the lyrics and all the songs were amazing. I remember when Mike said they wanted to change it up because they kept doing a song it would just be a repeat of their old music which would be boring.

[@patrickschardt7724]

Fun fact. I believe when the guy says he likes the animation (for Breaking The Habit), that is the main inspiration for the Lost video style

[@joshuamaden2391]

The band learned how to channel all of their emotions in to their music without having to scream. Their sound matured along with their audience. They grew along with their fans.

[@JustinProper]

There are four of these videos dude. Mike Shinoda reacted to this, than the teens reacted to that reaction, & then there was a 4th one where some of those teens were reacting to Mike Shinoda's solo music.... with a twist. You must complete the journey Alex. It will all make sense.

[@thedylandaniel]

A singer or any music celebrity will always age, a change is just natural in human life. No matter what, they will always be legendary. ✨❤️🎤

[@TheBigCheeseSauce]

5:09 we need a medic. We lost Alex!! 🤣🤣

[@CyrisCloete]

"I think it's just because everyone else hates on them, so I feel like I need to." Sums up everything wrong with society today.

[@sapphireseptember]

Agree. It's a ridiculous state of affairs. Whatever happened to thinking for yourself?

[@lry8133]

@@sapphireseptember tribalism, it’s not a new concept

[@benjamin5909]

Hey Alex. I remember a couple years back when you started your reviews and just started doing lp stuff. Your view was quite different. Your passion is still kinda new.

[@breakzw]

Some of your perspectives on music are cool, that's why I watch your content and I agree with a many of them. But I didn't vibe with just shitting on some kids even if jokingly some of it was a bit much like talkn' about strangling someone and repeatedly badmouthing 'em. Ima just hope it's played up for the camera especially hard this time. Otherwise that's... questionable. Each to their own on what's entertaining either way, just my thoughts on it. I look forward to more music content! Cheers~ p.s Not entertaining arguments if whoever reply's tryin' to look for one, just wanted to share my thoughts on what I watched. Have a great day y'all and stay healthy~

[@Dabluekitten]

Rest in peace two of my favorite singers with probably the most amazing voices Chester Bennington & Wayne Static 🥰🥺 Totally six favorites Dani Filth Bruce Dickinson Jonathan Davis Till Lindemann

[@philthemovieguy81]

Not gonna lie, and it’s gonna make me sound old but I don’t care, a lot of this generation sucks lol. They just suck. And I have a strong feeling it’s only gonna get worse.

[@Blinkptx]

Previous gens said the same about yours (ours?).

[@qdja]

This reaction is soo DRAMATIC 😂❤

[@neygarfan27]

I've listened to linkin park since 2014, my father absolutely love linkin park and have been listening since 2003. The first song from linkin park i've heard is points of authority, and have been listening for so long now. Lost just released and I'm having it on repeat, my favorite album is probably living things or reanimation. I thank my father for one of my favorite bands of all time now.

[@tinita2mcmahon378]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this there is a video where Mike Shinoda reacts to this same video, he’s so humble and sweet was really cool to watch 👏🏻

[@JABucc]

They inceptioned the hell out of this video. There’s a part 2 where Mike reacts to the teens. And then there’s a part 3 where the same teens, react to Mike, reacting to their initial reaction video.

[@omarmohanad9342]

Breaking the habit is one of my favorite linkin park songs and probably one of thier saddest songs

[@dwolters_the_zombieman]

I love Linkin Park, I never got to see them live and I feel like I missed out because Chester is no longer with us, but still will like to see them.

[@CaddyJim]

If I remember correctly these teams were reacting to Linkin Park before Chester's death

[@nathanielsanti752]

I'm not going to lie. I'm a Meteora and Hybrid Theory guy, and that's about it. But holy crap those 2 albums. They are flawless! I can think 3 flawless albums and Linkin Park have 2.

[@magnuskeinstrom8615]

Hey, the steak and hotdog reference was the most logical thing i've heard all day. Luv U, Luv Linkin Park, Luv all. R.i.p Chester ❤

[@larkenmcrorie3932]

The first song in question is called "Heavy" by Linkin Park and I believe features Kiiara.

[@BearlyTim]

I feel like watching the Transformers movies with you, in order, as they degrade further than you ever believed possible would be epic.

[@Torchwick109]

You should see the follow up videos where they had Mike come in and watch their reaction and then the video where Mike talked to them, they were hilarious!

[@oizhre]

So, Mike reacted to this video and the teens reacted to Mike reacting to them! It was a fun couple of weeks back before One More Light came out watching the back and forth

[@stevenbaker43]

Chester bennington was 1 of a kind, never hated no one. I saw in him in concert once and before he started he said we help each other in need, when you see someone fall help them up. RIP Chester bennington.

[@copocopocopocopo]

Personally, my favorite LP song of all time has got to be Numb, followed by In the End, Crawling, and Breaking the Habit. Very honorable mentions go out to Easier to Run, Castle of Glass, Lost in the Echo, Roads Untraveled, and A Place for My Head. Xero and The Hybrid Theory Demos are also great albums (songs like Reading My Eyes and Carousel are great)! Early Linkin Park is clearly the best Linkin Park, but that's not to take away from how great they still are. After all, 3 of the songs I listed were all from their 2012 album Living Things, and I like Final Masquerade from their 2014 album The Hunting Party also.

[@williamreiser3118]

Chester had awesome unique voice RIP they were very good live underrated band they had variety of styles I loved them for that

[@GameW0rks]

been a fan of Linkin Park since HT, loved their every album, disliked their couple of songs but loved their passion and talent and the experiments they do. In simpler words 'they evolved with time.'

[@5mihs]

Oh, I remeber when the "thousand suns" album got released and everyone was hating on it. That was a point that showed me that I´m... consuming music differently.

[@rosserjake]

"A lot of their music is sort of the same" A Thousand Suns sounds completely different to Hybrid Theory or Meteroa. They've never been afraid to change their sound and experiment. Now that Chester's death and his experience with sexual abuse, drug addiction, alcoholism etc is well documented; no one is saying the lyrics are "cringy". They are raw, genuine, authentic and powerful.

[@DrunkinDonuts97]

Alex did you see their newest couple of songs?? They’re dropping songs from 20 years ago and they’re all so good. We’ve gotten 2 so far. I’m hoping we are gonna keep getting more.

[@coolopotomus556]

omg you're so angry I love it 😂😂😂😂

[@WickedlNl]

Actual video starts after the two minute mark.

[@racing2cat]

Alex - there's a great follow-up video to this one of Linkin Park reacting to teens reacting to Linkin Park. Mike Shinoda was extremely gracious. 🙂❤

[@ttlpwn34]

Now you need to react to linkin park reacting to teens react to linkin park! lol

[@Tar-Numendil]

Having grown up with Transformers i'm always going to love Linkin Park. I was 8 years old when Transformers came out.

[@coltonheck7173]

Hybrid theory and meteora are absolutely fantastic, everything after that is "okay". But that's mostly my nostalgia talking

[@adamstewart1031]

I just have to say Alex, I love your opinions, so relatable and its so funny seeing you react to these kids. I've been listening to Linkin Park since I was 8 years old and and still to this day I can put on one step closer and feel the same as i did the first day i heard it. I can say with confidence that they are one of if not the best band of all time.

[@hawkproductions3853]

Lol they need to hear "Lost"
