To be fair, Linkin Park had plenty of popularity into the 2010s. Stuff is moving so fast that Gen Z or A are going hear Post Malone or Billy Eilish as a classic in about 4 to 5 years. Hell, they’ll say Billy Eilish is out of gas by the time she’s 30. Get ready for the AI avalanche, here’s a throwback remake of Harry Styles and Bruno Mars singing “Easy Lover” in the exact same style and audio quality that it was originally recorded in.
It sucked the first time music from my teen years made it on to the classic rock station. But it hurt hearing stuff from my 20s on there now.
Yeah, it’s old music, but introduce kids to it and they love it as much as we did.
I remember this type of discussions and the exact same arguments on Reddit, or was it Digg, way back when. Classic rock then was Phish or Grateful Dead.
Well, as a result, I’ve never gotten into these two particular bands, but I did start listening to music that’s like 10 or 20 years older than the stuff I grew up with. In fact, only recently, I’ve gotten a record player and some vinyl records. Works great for lo-fi rock which is imperfect by design.
To be fair that was also the same exact effect Linkin Park had when it was first on the radio.
Classic Rock is an ever expanding black hole of music
I went to a Underoath concert last week (They’re Only Chasing Safety 20th Anniversary Tour) and there was a father with a ten year old child.
Good thing about having a 80s/90s station in the region is that they have to dramatically rebrand before they can branch out to more recent decades.
You mean there are themes besides “the 80s, 90s, and today?”
Because I’ve been hearing that phrase for twenty-odd years.
It’s like you’re looking right at me with these things, damn!
If you move to the I-95 corridor NY or north you don’t need to deal with this. All the classic rock stations play Dirty Deeds and 3 other AC/DC songs and Teenage Wasteland on a loop, and have for 20+ years.
Downside of being an ageless immortal: oldies stations all play that new crap and no one plays your favorite hits from the roaring twenties anymore. NPR’s still good though.
Wait, this isn’t the roaring twenties?
More like the whimpering twenties.
The mewling twenties.
the diarrheaing(?) twenties
John Oldman?
1994 is as far in the past today as 1964 was in 1994.
Now where is the Classier Rock station?
You want the Oldies station now. What once was Elvis and Hank Williams is now playing AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and all your other favorite 70’s and 80’s rock hits.
If you want Elvis and Hank Williams, you gotta go to the Classical station.
If you want Mozart… I don’t know… Find a fancy restaurant or an elevator?
Hybrid Theory was released 24 years ago.
I was born that year. My friends have kids now.
Wait, so you do or do not remember the excitement of going from 14.4 to 33.6 for dialup?
I remember a Commodore 64 with a 300 baud modem. 1200 was luxury.
Not a clue what that even means, although my dad started a phone booth company in 1998 …
i jave never used a phone booth and i listebed to hybrid theory in school
That’s a wild time to invest in phone booths!
Real answer is dialup modem speeds. Doubled our download (in my case, from 10 minutes per mb to 5 minutes!)
Oh yes it was, serious financial troubles followed
And there hasn’t been a better album since
Jesus… You don’t have to throw EmOtInAl DaMaGe around like that!
It crits, dealing double splash/AoE damage. It’s super effective.
Upvote for the screenshot in particular.
Damn. I need a new character. What ancestry/background/class combo is FotM these days?
The last I looked it was white cis het men whinging about being the latest “minority” group, and “alphas”. Extra bonus points for being older but with a new account you will be locked out of that (and due to climate change, possibly forever).
Geez, Two-Face really let himself go…
I believe they call that “distinguished” now - as compared to whatever the fuck is going on with Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, and Elon Musk who we now are aware can jump a whole entire 3 inches off the ground.
Elon Musk’s vertical is horizontal.
In the end it doesn’t really matter
In the end, it doesn’t even matter
Is this “Um ackchyually” bait? 😅
Oh my bad.
I don’t even like Linkin Park 🤷♂️
Some things never belong on classic rock stations because they’re not fucking rock!
