** And if you interpret it in certain way, the song itself is this, with the final words being YouAreNotAlone:
---> Who cares if ''one more light'' goes out
---> Well ''I'' do.

* During the meet and greet before the band's [[https://lplive.net/shows/2012/20120603/ Rock im Park 2012 show]], a fan came forward to the band, asking if they would allow him a favor, and the band said yes. On that night's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChPodFfJtQo performance of "Bleed It Out"]], just before the [[Music/BeastieBoys "Sabotage"]] cover bridge, the band stopped the song, so the fan may come forward.... to propose to his girlfriend, who had absolutely no idea about it up until then, right there and then, on stage. Aww....

*** The Motto's even become instilled in the fanbase, where they are now not only "picking up" the fans who are grieving or even struggle with depression themselves, but to ''the same band that told them "picked them up"''. That's beauty right there.

* Mike Shinoda has become an active Twitch streamer during the coronavirus pandemic, typically allowing his fans to watch him produce music and ask questions. He’ll occasionally visit his fans in Animal Crossing. This really goes to show the bond he has with his fanbase.

* A lot of people who first find out about the Xero era are quick to think that Mark Wakefield (the original leading vocalist who left the band) and Linkin Park must not be on good terms, which is thankfully demonstrably false. Whenever Mike is asked about the Xero days, he ''always'' refers to him as his "friend Mark," sometimes adding in that he has "a wicked sense of humor" and introduced him to rock music. This hasn't changed ''even as late as 2020'', as seen during Mike's Twitch livestreams.
* "Part of Me" from the Hybrid Theory EP lifts up the listener, encouraging them to fight back against the dark thoughts weighing them down and destroy their own demons.
--> Memories of the last fight to free yourself
--> Taken to the depths of the bottom of the well
--> And now you know that you can choose to lose the part in your heart
--> Where your insides bruise
--> You can live if you're willing to
--> ''Put a stop to just what's killing you!''

* Surprisingly, some of their pre-''Hybrid Theory'' songs have uplifting {{Hope Spot}}s that are uncharacteristic of the band's other nu-metal material.
** "Slip," a demo from the Xero era, discusses feelings of social anxiety and inadequacy in the verses. The narrator acknowledges that there will be dark times in life where one may feel hopeless because of this, but promises that they will eventually find their own light in the end. The chorus is sung from the perspective of someone who's willing to understand and support someone who faces these struggles.
** More of a comforting[=/=]TearJerker example than uplifting, "She Couldn't" is an unreleased demo where the singers reassure someone who's lost a friend (presumably to suicide) that it isn't their fault it happened.

* Chester revealed in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UTX_GgNzEY Scuzz TV]] interview that while recording ''Hybrid Theory'', [[ExecutiveMeddling record execs wanted to get rid of Mike and just make Chester the frontman]]. Producer Don Gilmore took him aside, explained the situation, and asked Chester how he felt about it. Chester outright refused because [[TrueCompanions he knew if the execs fired Mike (not just the emcee but the band's primary songwriter and producer), the rest of the band would be walking out the door alongside him]].

* After Chester's suicide, Music/JayZ took the time to pay tribute to his collaborator and friend by performing Numb/Encore both at the BBC Live Lounge, and at the 2017 V Festival where he asked the audience to light up their phones to honor Chester.

** The descriptions from Joe and Mike are both this and heartbreaking, Mike's especially where he states to Chester "Until we meet again". [[HeterosexualLifePartners Nothing will keep Mike from seeing Chester.]]
* Chester's wife [[https://twitter.com/TalindaB Talinda]] became a vocal advocate on Twitter for suicide prevention in the wake of his death, playing a key role in holding the fan base together. Each time someone reached out to her expressing depressive and/or suicidal thoughts, she'd retweet them with a call to the 'LP family' to 'lift up' that person. The hashtag #fuckdepression, created in Chester's honour, went viral as a result.
