Things do not rock nor suck simply by my opinion alone. If the world were that way, then MTV would actually have stuff related to music, which would include VIDEOS, IN THEIR ENTIRE, FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES DURING THE DAY, heh...

But, LP are just another band thrown to the mainstream. They do not present anything deep and meaningful in their music. It's like trying to argue that bands like Good Charlotte and Newfound Glory are Punk because their music is fast tempo'd and their members have tattoos and don't look trendy; negative, punk roots from anarchy, whether offering a difference in opinion over skating as a lifestyle and not a sport, or being 16 and drunk, not to mention in going for word of mouth for distribution as opposed to having your work diluted and retooled by individuals in suits who make 20x the money you do by simply making your band sign on a dotted line. Linkin Park are in that same realm of music, manufactured simply for the masses. I've listened to their music, and I find it lacking. They do not have anything for them that makes me believe they are rock... I come from a world where rock music is not a reflection of what a pussy you are. That is what rock music is. It is not nasaly neandering over having a crappy childhood or emotional problems. Rock is about rock, it doesn't care about problems or triumphs. It knows life sucks, and it doesn't care. It rocks. AC/DC is rock. Helmet is rock. Soundgarden is rock. Rock is music that is made for the bands enjoyment, then shared with the world... without having to determine how many zeros are attached to sharing the enjoyment. No one ever told Angus to dress funny and dance around while playing a guitar, he just did it because it's what rock does. So don't call Linkin Park rock. Case closed, sweetheart.
