History YMMV / LinkinPark

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The band has always had a following amongst tweens and young teens despite not being aimed at them. Their first few albums were favorable amongst parents because, though the songs were gloomy and dark, there wasn't much violence, sexuality, or cursing. Their album "Minutes to Midnight" caused controversy because it featured profanity.

** X but if it came out in 2007[[labelnote:Explanation]]A Website/{{Twitter}} meme based on the ending of the first ''Film/{{Transformers|2007}}'' film (a 2007 release), which plays "What I've Done" underneath an Optimus Prime speech and times it so that the chorus hits just as the film cuts to black and rolls credits. It likely began with [[https://twitter.com/blurayangel/status/1562511750355767301 this viral tweet]], which praised the use of LP as "one of the greatest creative decisions in cinematic history", after which tweets began cropping up of other film/TV show endings being re-edited to include "What I've Done" in similar fashion and presented with the title "[Film/TV show] but if it came out in 2007". Films and shows that have gotten the 2007 treatment includes ''[[Film/BlackPanther2018 Black Panther]]'' (see [[https://twitter.com/BakiKayaArt/status/1562877305126780928 here]]), ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' (see [[https://twitter.com/PhaseZeroCB/status/1562548409726533634 here]]), ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' (see [[https://twitter.com/HeroesFanProd/status/1562855268803018752 here]], ''Film/BatmanBegins'' (see [[https://twitter.com/HeroesFanProd/status/1562358024404013056 here]]), and ''[[Series/TheBoys2019 The Boys]]'' (see [[https://twitter.com/Mahvlson/status/1563211312288903169 here]]). It eventually spread so much that the Twitter account of Creator/{{Paramount}}, the distributors of the live-action film series, got in on the fun and gave ''Transformers'' [[ShapedLikeItself itself]] the 2007 treatment by [[https://twitter.com/ParamountPics/status/1563299335898480641 just posting the original ending]].[[/labelnote]]

** We have a rapist in Linkin Park.[[labelnote:*]]This particular line came from the same infamous news interview from Antoine Dodson that spawned [[WebVideo/AutoTuneTheNews the "Bed Intruder" song]]. Obviously, the fact that Lincoln also sounds like "Linkin" did not go unnoticed.[[/labelnote]]
** Where is the old LP?[[labelnote:*]]Began circulation among the [[BrokenBase divided fanbase]] upon release of ''Minutes to Midnight''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Try the ketchup, motherfucker!"[[labelnote:*]]A mishearing of a line from the chorus of "When They Come for Me" ("''Try to catch up'', motherfucker!") that the Internet ran with. There was even a [[http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33320 fan shirt]] of the misheard line, with Mike wearing a tuxedo. Funnily enough, the shirt [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzWXFE_gpYA definitely got Mike's attention]].[[/labelnote]]
** Is this Carousel?[[labelnote:*]]In 2020, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of ''Music/HybridTheory'', three of the members (Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn and Dave "Phoenix" Farrell) got back together during a video call to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3mk142cZjI react to one of their old concerts from 2001]]. When they came across "And One," a song from their lesser known ''Hybrid Theory'' EP (released a year before the album) that they hadn't played since 2002, they struggled to remember its name. Phoenix initially thought that it was "Carousel", the opening track of the EP, and his confused guess was later perpetuated as a meme.[[/labelnote]]

** "I will not dance even if the beat's funky."[[labelnote:*]]A line from "When They Come for Me" that got some mileage online, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20220820123229/https://pics.me.me/meatbicyclevevo-when-you-refuse-to-dance-even-if-the-beat-31421493.png by itself]] or in combination with the preceding line ("I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey").[[/labelnote]]
