"bunch of crazy white people... "
Every Billboard Modern Rock Chart #1 through 2005, listed in order of preference.11. Linkin Park, "Faint"
August 9 - September 19, 2003
Simon Reynolds, a former SPIN editor who pushed the electronica lie top-down in the nineties, wrote a piece a year or so ago questioning why the revolution failed, based on the lack of interest in the U.S. for recent Fatboy Slim. Fact is, rather than settle for an IV of Amp comps, gradually accepting Paul Oakenfold in his pure state, America incorporated the ChemBros/Prodigy techniques they liked into rap and rock, accepting the musical & technological advancements, if not the idea that gawky trancemasters should be superstars (though you can't say we didn't give Moby a chance). Linkin's teary-eyed and pro-tooled kung fu chop for a parent's attention would be unthinkable if not for Fat Of The Land (or at least the Spawn soundtrack), and its acceptance and popularity in the rock world is one of the few positive signs of evolution angry young men have offered in recent years.
I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand
I do what I can, sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never wanna say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
