“Angsty 2000s rock bands like Linkin Park, Evanescence, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, etc. are legitimately really fucking good and consist of talented people who write genuinely smart and meaningful lyrics, and who aren’t ashamed to be open and honest about the very real problems that they’ve gone through, and there’s a good reason as to why they’re all going strong to this day. You guys are just cowards.”
“Guys this post isn’t that fucking deep, if you disagree then just don’t say shit. We live in a world where Ed Sheeran is a cultural phenomenon for singing about how much he loves women’s bodies, I shouldn’t have to justify liking Linkin Park.”

“like I know I’m biased bc I stan since elementary school; but seriously I can’t believe that “god bless us every one / we’re a broken people living under loaded gun” is a line from something they put out in 2010 and not, like, last year. (Youtube link)”
“mainstream bands in 2019: no, don’t talk politics lets just have a good time ahaha ✨✌️. linkin park in 2010: *opens a song with mario savio speech* LIKE CMON”
