Chester Bennington is one of the best singers in rock right now. Mike Shinoda is a very good rapper. Listen to the lyrics. it's good stuff. "One thing, I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time all I know". You cannot generalize rap. Gangster and popular rap is terrible but bands like Linkin Park, Papa Roach and even the Beastie Boys make it good. You need to actually listen to the music rather than generalize it. To say all of one kind of music is bad would be like saying all fruit is bad because you do not like berries and because berries are a sub class of fruit, all fruit is bad. There is much more to it than that. Trust me, I used to be the same way. For a period of 4 years of so, all I listened to was classic rock. Then I discovered bands like Shinedown and Muse who were doing something fresh rather than the same formula that many classic rock songs did. The 90's did not kill music, it took it in a new direction. Some of the best bands formed in and around the 90's like Nine Inch Nails and Sublime. There is a diverse array of music out there, to clump all of it together is to be foolish.
