Every time I'm reminded of Linkin Park songs I'm filled with mixed feelings. It reminds me of the 2000's, 144p videos, pre-iPhone era, when I was discovering myself (and so was the humanity as a whole). I don't wanna go back, but I don't know what to do with those memories either. It's a strange feeling.

I still occasionally make low quality AMVs and record them onto vhs. It's weirdly cathartic. Like looking at my present self through the eyes of my past self and going "hell yeah we're still cool"
Sounds like a good excuse for a drunken karaoke night!

FWIW I think they're getting back together and releasing a new album in November. Minus Chester, of course. RIP.

I miss all the old personal websites on Geocities, Tripod, etc and using web rings to discover them. Also learning how to write a website in HTML with notepad and learning how FTP works, and working around your free quota. My computer art teacher at the time was really good at shaving every little byte off a gif file.
I remember the first CSS I ever wrote was for my NeoPets shop. The tutorial they had on how to do it was full of little britishisms like "I know it's spelled 'colour', but for CSS we use 'color'".
