This is the first band that got you into metal. I'm guessing you were a teen around when Linkin Park was popular, so it only stands to reason that they would be your first.

Just as long as you hate them now,

Still am, turning 14 in a month, and I got into them when I was, what, 10? When I used to listen to Lil Wayne. You change a lot in the transition from child to teen, of course, considering you learn the most in your first 15 years than you do the entire time you're alive after that. From a brain-dead idiot to an A*-predicted pupil, changed more in a couple of years than most do in ten.

But if I'm honest, I don't hate them. I actually like a couple of their songs, most notably the more aggressive ones. The hate they receive is often unreasoned; it's usually meaningful music that's quite the therapy for the typical teenage angst.

Oh, in that case, trust me on this one. Your tastes will grow. I promise.
