I thought you were exaggerating until the chorus hit...gave me flashbacks to being given anti-depressants when I was misdiagnosed with depression and subsequently had what was later described as a series of manic episodes.(Though they didn't seem that manic to me at the time.)
My big sister used to be a BIG fan of Linkin Park during her early teens. I made her listen to this on a road trip and her face was a mixture of fascination, amusement and confusion.
@@Ball4184 It's exactly what it sounds like it is. It's another way to describe something having a finite distance from something else, in this case time. It's a common phrase when discussing events in history.
I gave my headphones to my friend, and at first he was jamming out, then the lyrics kicked in and his eyes became a flurry of shock, confusion, betrayal, and fear.
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Hybrid Theory came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. They've been compared to Limp Bizkit but I think Chester has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
I mean, I agree, but this is from Meteora and that was '86. It's an easy mistake to make though, since their sound didn't change dramatically until 1990 when they released Minutes to Midnight.
@@cameoflage Minutes to Midnight was the attempt at that college-rock sound R.E.M. was popularizing, wasn't it? It was a dramatic change indeed, one people weren't ready for. But then came the attempts at the grunge sound with 92's "A Thousand Suns" and 95's "Living Things"... They got some hits out of that tho. "Burn It Down" was competing with "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" at the top of Modern Rock! One could argue that they were one of the most versatile bands in history, staying just ahead of the trends, but then they tried that nu-metal sound with 2001's "One More Light" and it didn't work out for them...
In the end. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t even know the lyrics. But they SHOULD. Because it’s not because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Paul!
Those were the good days. I met my fiancé that year, at a Justin Bieber concert. His single “Baby” had come out in ‘85. Sadly, Justin overdosed in 2004.
@@CH-lg3st ‘one of’ the best you’ve heard? You’ve got more because I couldn’t find any 80s remix close to this. I legit put this in my iTunes playlist because it is so good, but any others that are legit?
My love is like a high prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall Gold Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, because you are Gold
Depression when I was 17: evanescence going under, three days grace pain , red already over, the original linkden park numb Depression at 24: This shit with an endless loop of a fuckin’ animal crossing character dancing in my head
As someone who actually lived through the 80s, I feel like this totally nails the sound. This is possibly the most authentically 80s-sounding fake 80s remix on RU-vid. Also, it's a real improvement over the original.
@@pizzapiinthesky impossible everyone knows their earliest work was 1964 so you couldn't of been a fan since the early 50's.......you're a fake fan!!!!
One of Linkin Park's earliest hit records, produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman and featuring Dead Or Alive's keyboardist Tim Lever. The similarities to "You Spin Me Round" are glaring, for which Chester Bennington was widely criticized as a sellout by the fans of his post-punk band Baltic Triangle, active in the Manchester scene between 1978 and 1982. He later embarked on a solo career, which had little success until he decided to play with Depeche Mode at Glastonbury in 1992.
this guy had some pipes, too bad he wasn't born like 13 years later to play in a band like Korn or Limp Bizkit. Would've fit in real well with the nu-metal/alt-metal scene
80's band had really obtuse names, often making references to real or fictional places. There's The New Kids on the Block, Boston, Pet Shop Boys, Cypress Hill, Nazareth, Berlin and many others. Add up the fact that "Linkin Park" sounds like nonsensical gibberish, another trend of the time, and you have a very 80's named band.

Meme able?? I hope to god your not talking about todays generation. If anything depression in this generation is more mainstream then any generation beforre them.
This should not work but it does. The angst is completely overcome by the playful instruments joyfully hyping the vocals on as some sort of pride inducing marching song. The resolved conflict is laughable which only adds to the power of this remix. Bravo, this is a work of art.
I remember listening to this in my car July of ‘85... I had just lost my job but I had a very supportive gal by my side who is now my wife... ♥️ I can safely say this song pushed me to not give up!! Thanks LP for this wonderful song, RIP Bennington
@@garybartlett3028 I mean technically speaking, In The End was written as a song about the end of a relationship from the lens of nihilism so you're not wrong
There's been a lot of really low effort 80s remixes going around, and this one really shows how it should be done. It just gets so many of the little details right while coming together as a whole
I remember dancing to this in my room back in the 80s getting ready to go to the arcade in the evening then all of a sudden it came on the radio that he had passed away, was such a shame. I spent many hours that night playing pacman feeling numb.
I wanna hear a 1960s version of linkin park that is sort of like the doors meets deep purple And by deep purple and the doors i mean the 13th floor elevators meets sam the sham and the pharoes
