And then they did that remake cd with Jay-Z was it? Yeah, that was a monstosity of bad-taste-in-music proportions. I thought Linkin Park's music was at least listenable, but that remake was just plain bad.
I don't see the connection between emo and linkin park

ok lets make a comparison
The Used - Buried Myself Alive
you almost always pick the best times
to drop the worst lines
you almost made me cry again this time
another false alarm
red flashing lights
well this time I'm not going to watch myself die
I think I made it a game to play your game
and let myself cry
I buried myself alive on the inside
so I could shut you out
and let you go away for a long time
Linkin Park - Papercut
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
They don't look or sound similar at all to me. Chester does sound whiny at times but not really on an emo level really.

Hybrid Theory is an awesome album.
End of.
Okay let's get some shit straight.
First off:
Guys who wear girl pant's arn't usually emo, they're scene (sXe,hXc, straight ede... etc.)
Second off:
Emo music isn't limited to kids complaining about life. Alexisonfire is emo, AFI is emo, so on so forth. Linkin Park is considered nu-metal. Both bands whine in their music. Wtf are we arguing about. A label? stfu.
EDIT: Wow, and then i realized how old this topic was.

Take a walk around my school, 2/5 guys are wearing girls jeans, they wear tight shirts, have black almost shoulder length hair, and think they are 'tourtered artists' who are masters at their craft by posting their newest 'I died again today because my girlfreind dumped me' crap poem on their DeviantART acount. Thats emo my freind, thats emo.

No one said it was, but the stereotypical Emo music IS in fact kids complaining about life/girlfreind/or something else I dont give a shit about.
I posted in this thread.
The whole scene sucks emo, punk whatever.
You want to be alternative? dont dress like every other emo/punk scener.
One of the worst fads i have ever seen. I bet you if you pulled up a record of one of these emo's music taste 2-3 years ago it would consist of rap, hip-hop etc.
Not dissing the music (though most sound so similar its not funny) just the whole scene that comes with it.
And whats with dressing like a girl? pink shoes. tight pants? didn't daddy love you enough?
rediculous.
i could go on
