! Trivia Tropes
* CreatorBacklash: To celebrate ''Hybrid Theory'''s ten-year anniversary, the band announced that they'll never play fan-favorite "Runaway" again, citing it as the worst song they ever wrote.
** Averted in that the band has to come to terms with their past and they have begun playing "retired" songs, like "Runaway", again while on tour for their newest album, ''LIVING THINGS''. As this album is seen as a melding together of the group's old and new.
* CreatorBreakdown: Chester Bennington's. Sexual abuse, divorced parents, and drug addiction, all before he was eighteen.
** Coupled with ManlyTears: On several occasions, when they attempted to play "Breaking the Habit" live, he broke down and cried. However, it's interesting to note that while the song's subject matter fits in line with Chester's past, the lyrics were penned by Mike without Chester's input.
** A specific example lies in "Bleed it Out": the lyrics were rewritten numerous times, resulting in the opening line "[[LampshadeHanging Here we go for the hundredth time...]]"
* DirectedByCastMember: Joe has directed almost all of their music videos.
* HeAlsoDid: In addition to the above, Joe was behind a short film entitled ''The Seed''.
* HeyItsThatVoice: There are plenty of acclaimed underground rappers present on ''Reanimation'', such as Pharoahe Monch, Chali 2na and Black Thought as well as fellow nu-metal alumni [[Music/{{Korn}} Jonathan Davis]] and Aaron Lewis of Staind.
* OneOfUs:
** Several of the band members, most notably Joe Hahn, are fans of anime. It also explains why their songs are in the [[TransformersFilmSeries Bayformers films]].
** They've also been known to participate in self-indulgent wankery, such as when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhZ3KWgMATA Mike brought out a Hello Kitty Squier Stratocaster during a performance of "From the Inside".]]
** They had a [[Franchise/{{Halo}} "Halo Bus"]] during 2004 where they challenged other bands to tournaments and were, by their own accounts, unstoppable. They also recorded a song that shares its name with the franchise and has a running time of [[AIIsACrapshoot three minutes and forty-three seconds]].
** Mike likes to occasionally insert memes into his blog posts. Basically, they're very good at this trope.
* ThePeteBest: Who the hell is Mark Wakefield again?
* PromotedFanboy: Mike after working with Rick Rubin, the man behind some of his favorite albums such as ''[[Music/RunDMC Raising Hell]]''. While recording ''A Thousand Suns'', he had a nerdgasm after getting to play with the same 808s drum machine used on that album.
** One of their songs being used for a ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' [[GundamVsSeries video game]] probably got a {{Squee}} out of at least one of the guys.
* ThrowItIn: A partial example with "Bleed it Out". The song's working title was "Accident" due to Brad flubbing the original riff. The rest of the band liked his screw-up and that became the new riff.
* TrollingCreator: The band's co-vocalist Mike Shinoda has had shades of this in the last few years. Teasing snippets of new songs only leading to unrelated Website/YouTube videos or claiming that a band member had quit. Recently Mike sent a link out on Twitter touting new pictures from the upcoming fifth album. When clicked, the link sends fans to a picture of a [[VisualPun Troll]] [[LampshadeHanging doll]].
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** "Breaking the Habit" was originally conceived as an instrumental [[EpicRocking lasting over ten minutes]]. It was recorded at a more sane length, dubbed "Drawing" and eventually made it onto the ninth [=LPU EP=].
** There were several more artists lined up to remix tracks for ''Reanimation'', including Prince Paul, Z-Trip and Tricky.
