Crystalline07

07 here, Linkin Park is easily my favorite band, and no matter how many great bands I’ve discovered, LP has remained my favorite


Moonlight24807

Same here. First ones I heard were In The End, New Divide, What I've Done, Numb, Burn It Down eventually The Catalyst. Not in that order because I don't remember. My favorite for the longest time and still maybe currently is Breaking the Habit, Numb, The Catalyst, the ones I first heard, and now Lost and Friendly Fire. I love all of their songs, seriously I could go on and on about this band and the songs. I really loves all their music and Linkin Park has been my favorite band since the first few songs I heard. Damn I've typed a lot and still haven't expressed how much this band means to me. They've helped me through so much as they've done with many others. I'll stop now, I've typed a lot, lol


literallySomePerson

Also 07 here, I agree fully

faithfulheresy

What kind of age gap do you have? 20 years?


RaiJolt2

2004 baby here, I also love linkin park, thx transformers


astral-divinity

Yet another 2004 baby. For me, Beat Saber graced me with Linkin Park


Next_Intention1171

86 here. Saw them in 01 where they basically played all of hybrid theory (and step up) because that’s all they had. Feel old af now but glad you enjoy them!


aPeRsOnoriginal

2010 here, I got a cousin who also likes Linkin Park in 2013


Ok-Connection4917

iieeeiiles

nah fr i thought 2009 was crazy but 2013 😭😭??


aPeRsOnoriginal

Trust me, we only found out about them first from our parents. Actually, 2013 kid got REALLY mad at me cuz I didn’t know any of the songs from A Thousand Suns

ThatRandomIdiot

1999 here. Been a fan since I was like 3 years old.


XterraNaili

Here! Born 1800! also seriously, what do you mean "feel there aren't many gen z fans" there are more than you think! Linkin Park isn't some indie band for goodness sake. The fan base is going strong on YouTube, TikTok, Twitter and hell, even Facebook and Reddit! The evidence is right in this sub! Gen Z knows about Linkin Park, don't make yourself feel special just because you're the only Gen Z who knows about LP.


agayguy1122

Your way too young to be on this app


THAT_HARDHEAD_GUY

ikr kid get tf out

TremTremm

Gen Z here and I love Linkin Park


Expensive-Opposite52

Right here! I'll always be a diehard LP fan. It's just painful that I never got to see Chester live, or meet him ever. But that's beside the point, I'm glad to be a fan!


ch4nnelpvrple

Diligent_South

2001 here. Pretty big fan here even though I've branched out a lot.


Same_Efficiency8160

2007, discovered recently. I was more into thrash and death, and though LP was slow and not very interessant. Then I listened to the first songs of HT and I fell in love with.

Separate_Desk_6072

2002 and I started listening to them a few years ago


Astronomer-Timely

02 here. the first song that i can vividly remember hearing and thinking i want to hear more of these songs was Bleed It Out, around the time minutes to midnight came out. my parents ended up getting me and my brother all the CDs and linkin park became a huge part of my childhood.


Zooblecorn

03 right here


Tube-Psycho

08. One of my favorite bands of all time


Exotic-Ask7768

Born 01, LP is my favourite band. No other band/singer comes close to them for me.


pokefan69haha

I was born in 06 so I'm Gen Z. I'd say the Millennial fanbase is larger because you guys were teens when LP were really fucking popular. There are still tons of Gen Z fans it's just that you guys don't interact with people outside your own generation too much.


1928_TheSEA

ello i’m here my dad used to listen when i was younger (when i was even more of a mega swiftie than i am now and i listened to a lot of disney (okay i still do that lmao)) and that was when i thought it was trash now, at fourteen, almost fifteen, i listen on repeat. my dad and i just drove to iowa and i stole the aux and blared linkin park. probably three or four of my friends listen to (i don’t have too many friends so that’s probably a quarter of so of my friends lol)


FOXTROT290

04 here and I think u tripping lp mad popular with z bc of transformers

roropatell

04- fell in love with them after watching the first transformers movie (possibly in theaters I was too young to remember) but I know it happened then cuz I remember being all excited for their new song in the second movie (new divide obv)


Avenue_21

Yeah man, born 2005, I'm a confusing case my three favourites bands in order are linkin park, dr hook and slipknot buuuuut, I listen to legitimately every single genre ever besides jazz but I like bb king he's more of blues tho


Legal_Creme_2475

2007 here. Always gonna be sad that I'll never see them live. By far my favorite band and idk of that'll ever change, the emotions in his voice are just incredible.


LordCario34

'01 here. Got into LP last year


iridiums32

1999 - loved LP since 12


criimsontea

03 here. In highschool i listened to a few songs of lp but only a few months ago that i went deeper into lp stuff, songs, concerts etc. I regret not doing a research on them years ago and now i kinda feel i missed out on many stuff (and that's why i want them to continue making music). Right now i'm obsessed with collecting lp album and concert cds/dvds wherever i can find.


RawVertigo

This is amazing, knowing the impact this band has and will forever have. I became a fan at 10 years old back in 2007, not because of transformers but because of the new album minutes to midnight. The song bleed it out specifically when the single first released to radio play. Seeing this just puts a genuine smile on my face.


aleatorio_003

2006 here, to be honest Linkin Park is really famous with most people I know (that are basically the same age).

FamilyFan69

I’m 14 but idk if that’s gen z

My 16 year old daughter listens to Linkin Park somewhat regularly. She was pretty upset when Chester died. We were driving in my truck home when his death was announced.

I’m a 2006 so obviously was late to the party. Started listening before Chester died.


Ok_Long5367

I'm from 2009. I love Linkin Park!! Been listening to them since I was like 5. I was listening to Linkin Park at school once and my ex bf was next to me asking what I was listening to and he said I've never heard of Linkin Park. I said how the hell have you never heard of Linkin Park??? 😭 (He's an oldies, likes the Beatles) Now he likes Linkin Park and when we dated he said wow they're so new they're from this year! I said um, (not mentioning names) they're from like, 2001. He said oh, welp....uh.... at least they're popular? And I said, yes, dumb@$$, yes. (I was getting so irritated that he didn't know about it, but I got into it after my dad started listening to it since he was in college and then he always just put it on and it comes on the radio too so I heard them in the backseat) Lowkey he knew I love Linkin Park and hasn't questioned me about it but yes.  P.S. I cried when Chester died, I just love his singing voice and I went into Linkin Park 24/7 everyday My favorite is meteora and living things


Dragonslayer55665

2009 here, the first time heard them I was around 5 years old and I was playing guitar hero world tour and I played "What I've Done" and since then I've always liked them, Papercuts was the first vinyl I ever bought!

Dull_Satisfaction_57

07 for both me and my boyfriend, especially him lol 🙌🙌


Ultra-Introvert_Cat

Do you really think they could have 40m monthly listeners on Spotify with only/mostly millennials? I personally believe that most of their fanbase is gen Z


OWB100

Kinda young but I was a 2010 but I still appreciate linkin park. Gotta lot of their songs on my playlist


Shinlary

Grew up with MTM as a toddler, and fell in love with Meteora/HT as an early teen. 20 now and still my #1 artist year after year


vemharluratdig

2004, my dad always played linkin park to me growing up and the last few years i have started listening by myself !!! love them


LinkinParksoldierr

2004 here. Diehard fan since 2017. I actually got into LP when Heavy came out in 2017 january. (or february?) However I have brothers born in 95 and 96 so I have clear memories listening to LP way before 2017


Extra_Film_8628

I’m 2006 baby and I’m a huge LP fan


SpadeJay

2008, Linkin Park is #1 and have listened to them literally since i was born, my mom played them all the time in the car. i think my first song was A Place For My Head but i'd have to ask her to confirm that.


PC-PANINI

03 here. Linkin Park have been my favourite band my whole life


dado753

(2007) It's really interesting that I wasn't even born when my absolute favourite songs were made


SwissRoll96

09 and I’d say yeah. In The End and Crawling go pretty hard. Obv not my fav but I’d listen to em.


The-Baghoul

05 I started with listening to Burn it down now I listen to pretty much everything


ShadowStar_1

2009 born, 14 right now, i love linkin park A LOT though i've yet to listen to a few of their albums. i feel the same too but then i found a couple of people who actually listen to it in my class itself, i was shocked lol (i literally hugged one) my only regret is that i started listening to them after 2017, so i can never relate as much as the veteran fans to their songs and stuff :/


Alpha0rgaxm

‘98 right here 👋🏾


minnie_gwennie

2001 here. Been listening to them since I was a tolder and my dad took me to see them in 2012 and again in 2014. I'm forever grateful that I have parents who also listen to the same music and took me to concerts when they were able to.


minecraftisbest11

Me, my brother introduced me to Linkin Park. My dad introduced me to metal in general with Metallica tho


LiverpoolgoatedD

Speed-Salty

I’m an 09 kid, so I’m naturally a big fan of Figure.09


Yo_Nelly

Was a fan from the Minutes to Midnight concert at MSG. Loved their songs before then. Now I got my 6 yo niece listening to Numb, as she loved the Bongo Cats version of it.


hoefromengland

YES RIGHT HERE


TheJosh96

I mean, you do realize that the oldest Gen Zs are turning 28 this year lol We also grew up with LP


filippo_sett

2006 here. A friend of mine (same age) made me discover them, and they were my 5th most listened band in the Spotify Wrapped this year


Cachiggi

Trust me they’re all over the place it’s just common place so we don’t feel the need to boast about how amazing they are and the band getting cut short when we started hitting the age to go to live shows sadly pushed LP back to where can’t really see or appreciate them the way y’all were able to 10-15 years ago


MallCertain274

Right here my dude. Hybrid theory was my shit. But I got shit talked A LOT in school because I listened to “screamo music” and not pop/ rap lol


Pristine_Put5348

1999. Thanks Transformers.


Adorable-nerd

06. Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands! I liked ‘heavy’ since it came out, but I only I got into them about two years ago. I’d heard ‘what I’ve done’ growing up because of Transformers but never actually listened to the whole thing, then decided to listen to it one day and liked it, they reminded me of another band I like: Starset, so I decided to give their other stuff a listen and fell in love.


aineberriess

2003! i’m a few months younger than meteora. my partner and i have a sizable age gap and his brother put me on. haven’t been able to get enough of lp since. that and their mutual friend got me into korn, and those together were my gateway into metal and nu metal and now moving into goth as well. :)


plants_era

2006 here, i remember crawling in my skin, numb and in the end being a really big influence in internet memes which i grew up with, i remember listening to crawling in my skin with my dad whilst he was driving me, didn't start listening to them until 2 yrs ago tho...


badra101

Here am l. 2009. They’re amazing


Huge-Ad4999

I was born August 31st 1999 I first got introduced to linkin park through my dad back in 2010 I heard a thousand suns as my first linkin park album then I went on to listen to the rest of their albums

emo_bird

07’ my dad introduced them to me around 5-6th grade-ish and then i got back into them and cuz he said he was gonna see them during the OML tour


DCoop53

2000s nu metal actually got a nice revival thanks to gen z teens discovering it and loving it. As a millenial back then it was often considered cringe or overly dramatic but genz's actually are more aware of mental health issues and can relate easily to LP's lyrics. It actually took me to be past my mid-20s and in a deep depression to really pay more attention to the lyrics while before that I used to mostly love LP for their sound (also because hearing so many people telling me the lyrics were too emo made me internalize the idea that I shouldn't feel too represented by the message)


ThatOneEmo_Kid

I was born in 2005 and I’ve loved Linkin Park since middle school


EndaX40

Neonlap

2010 here got into them like 2 years ago and it's just my favorite band in the entire world


pntmphoenix

Longtime ‘07 LP fan here. Grew up on this band, but never grew away from it. Can’t explain what a profound impact they’ve all had on my life. I started collecting vinyl about 2 years ago and my first 8 were their albums. Feels like this band’s a part of me now :)


Northstar117

08 here, I've been listening to Likin Park since my nine years when my father put "numb" on the car, and I still listen to it today


Mr_64

2010 here


AgentNinrider

08 here, I’m in love with linkin park. Hybrid theory literally saved my life but i discovered the band because of my older brother who used to always play one step closer whenever we hung out.


xtremeyoylecake

09 kid here! HIII


Dull_Procedure_72

1999, been a fan since Hybrid Theory Era✨️


dely5553

there are many, many, MANY gen z linkin park fans. ive met more gen z linkin park fans than any other generation tbqh


Ok_Long5367

Now, I think that there are less Gen alpha fans that like Linkin Park. I met with one recently and they like Weezer. Don't ask me why. Because the answer is I don't know.


Fox_with_a_DC-17

Born in 04, didn't start actuall listening to then until around 2018 or so, but love them tk death, .001% of listeners on spotify


Spare_Product_59

2000 here and been a massive fan since I was like 6 years old. Always consider Linkin Park as my all time favorite band despite me having branched out into other groups and eras lately such as Deftones, The Smiths, The Cure, etc. Linkin Park will always be special to me and Meteora will forever be a banger! A Thousand Suns is also severely underrated imo. I understand your sentiment though. Sometimes I feel it’s uncommon to run into people my age who are also a fan such as myself but least we have this subreddit
