Band Name Origins:

  • The band Linkin Park's name (before the addition of Chester Bennington) when they first formed in 1996 was Xero, at that point they had made a four track demo tape. They had later (after the adittion of Chester Bennington) changed their name to Hybrid Theory and recorded the Hybrid Theory EP. Due to legal conflict with the British electronic music group Hybrid, they changed their name to Linkin Park, a name paying homage to Lincoln Park, located in Santa Monica, CA. Submitted by: Danny
  • Referring to the 'chain linkin' concrete. It's actually chain link AND concrete. So therefore their name could not have come from a song. Thank you! :] Submitted by: Kazz.

Why the Name is Stupid:

  • Naming yourself after Honest Abe's hangout Submitted by: Chrissy
  • Why do they use Russian letters (those reversed 'N's) in the name 'Linkin' ? Pronounced correctly, their name would be 'Licky Park' Submitted by: Auditor
  • It reminds me of a mix between Lincoln Logs & Tinker Toys. Put them together and you have one "contrabulous fabtraption!" Submitted by: Cerulean
  • Actually, the band name isn't stupid but it is a cheap band name . The band decided on "Linkin Park" so they would be next to "Limp Bizkit" in record stores and in other places. This cheap because they are gaining popularity and album sells through being next to an already successful band. Submitted by: Nick
  • The name of a casino/dog racing place in Rhode Island... When I hear this name I think of the memebers running around a track on all fours Submitted by: julie
  • There are additional new stupid band names available.

Hey Ya'll, I'm not much of a singer or rapper, but I attempted this song cus I had written it and wanted to see what it sounded like in audio. I used my keyboard for the piano and percussion and my guitar for the chorus n all. I am a Christian and I write mainly Christian parodies, but this is just one I wrote for fun and it's the only one I got recorded so far. I'll submit more as soon as I record them.

Story about this misheard lyric by: epidote

I keep listening to this part of the song, to try to catch the lyrics. I thought it was kind of cute that Linkin Park sings about a polar bear. When I asked my husband to listen to it, he also couldn't quite catch it and agree with me that it was 'polar bear'.

This is directed towards (non-offensively, just correcting) the person that submitted ealier regarding Breaking The Habit (by the way, you, uh, you got the lyrics wrong, too. . .minor mistake).

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Faint"
The Lyrics:
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
Why:
The actual beat and background music almost fill your entire body with energy, but the lyrics, once heard and interpreted have a depressing meaning.
Submitted by: ajdaprince
"Valentine's Day"
The Lyrics:
I never knew what it was like
To be alone On a Valentines Day
Why:
It is a bit depressing if you ask me....
