Green Day or Linkin Park

I love Linkin Park's old stuff. In The End in particular was an important part of my past when I was growing up back in 2002 and in fact helped defined who I am. So Linkin Park will always hold a special place in my heart, but unfortunately they teamed up with that stupid rapper and now they're redoing all their good songs with idiotic rapping. I heard the In The End remix a few days ago and my heart sank, I almost felt sick inside, they've fallen so far, just to be mainstream. When really they've lost both markets, the rap market won't like them because the new stuff still contains traces of the old stuff which'll turn off rap fans, and the old fans who appreciated what they used to do will hate the rap now.

the question is bathazar, which in the end remix did you hear? the jay-z one or the Reanimation mix?
This is dependant on where your tastes lie, and for something a little off topic...
a fan guide:
There are different types of fans, depending on the scene.
EDM:
Candy Ravers - The most publicly known of the EDM fans, these guys are your average white-glove-wearin', glo-stick-wavin', f*ed-on-eccys, dance-like-a-spastic teenager from middle class suburbia. Mainly interested in Happy Hardcore, McTrance, Anthem House.
Trance Snobs - Guys who will contiuously argue about what trance really is, and where it should go. Reallly annoying to listen to these guys for more than 2 minutes. Interested in the 'old-skool' trance, and never admitting that they really love the new, cookie-cutter stuff, the reason why they keep going to clubs and raves.
Goths - EDM Goths are a little different to the rock/metal goths. Where the rock/metal goths like their music dreary and depressing and distorted, the EDM goth likes it... well, dreary depressing and harsh. A lot of them are whiny narccissists, but unlike their emo counterparts, they prefer to scratch at the pain, rather than whine at it. Interested in all EDM, but mainly in Industrial styles or Psychedelic Trance.
Wiggas - White surburban teenage males completely obsessed with the gangsta lifestyle. These guys need to have a long hard look at themselves. you're from a white, middle class background. YOU"RE NOT FROM THE FREAKIN' GHETTO. ...erm... *ahem*. Interested in, you guessed it, Hip-hop, Urban and Gangsta Rap.
Hippies - Yesm, the hippies still exsist. And they have their own, rather cool version of trance, known as Goa.
Exerpt from Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Dance Music:
The hippies are still the same as they were in the 60s. you werent alive in the 60's, most likely your parents were. if not try talking (shock horror) to your grandparents.
I'll put more up later.

Hippies - Yesm, the hippies still exsist. And they have their own, rather cool version of trance, known as Goa.
Exerpt from Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Dance Music:
For what it's worth, (Goa is) the only trance genre that still has some integrity left. Goa is just too complicated, too dark, too brooding, and too ominous to ever have popular appeal, and it's doubtful that it ever will....and that's just the way hippies like it. Imported from India, duty free, where it is so hot the DJs don't even bother mixing or else their faces melt off (and that's BEFORE you drop acid). There are a million and one splinter genres to this too (hard goa, progressive goa, psyfunk, ambient goa, etc...), but I'm only putting down the most prevalent. As for the rest, it's terrific stuff, if all the annoying, superficial hindu and buddhist iconography doesn't annoy the hell out of you. Goa would be the best genre ever, if it weren't for the ****ing hippies.
The hippies are still the same as they were in the 60s. you werent alive in the 60's, most likely your parents were. if not try talking (shock horror) to your grandparents.

Coming close to taking my lines again balthzar 
As for linkin park they were never good, they were always disgusting sell outs. And there music god it was terrible. They couldnt write and they never would be. Not one of there songs ever invoked anything in me or had any meaning to me. I mean into eternity's Selling God had a profound message that meant something to me.
I always thought of as a channel to enjoy someones else's thoughts but these guys are just ****ers with insturments. As such i name them WWI.

excellent! 
By the way, did someone reference Jesus of Suburbia earlier on in the thread? Perhaps the only good song Green Day ever wrote...a minimal amount of whining, at least.
Insult the hippies will you??!?!?

what in greasy poop is trance music? how did that get its way in here? does anyone actually listen to happy hardcore?
And anyway, i thought Linkin Park was mainstream BEFORE they remixed their songs, lets not fool ourselves into pretending that just because they were playing their OWN songs, that Linkin Park werent on every store top 10 list and every child wannabe with a black hoodie on was buying this album. LP was so damned mainstream i was hearing that song in conventional nightclubs. I think the acid test is that if its played on a non-specialised radio station, its mainstream.

Now onto more fan guides...
Metel/Rock/Pop Fans:
True Punks - These guys are really hardcore. Balls to the wall, these guys are possibly the coolest people ever cos they are passionate about thier music, but not obssessive and nitpicking. They have an open mind about music but they know what they like: Old-Skool Punk, Punk Rock, Ska and the likes.
Emo Punks - On the flip side, these guys are whiny neo-narccissists, (anyone wanting to discuss the difference, normal narccissists go around saying how cool they are, neo-narccissists go around saying how terrible they are) And their *****ing really gets on my nerves. I won't go into that however, these guys are usally migrants from pop, and the sickly emo punk is tolerable to their delicate pop-tuned ears. But there is one redeeming feature of this group. Emo chicks are ****ing hot.
Metalheads - Dreads are the latest thing, either that or a chrome dome will do. These are the guys that your mother warned you about. not really; but these guy usually are pretty crazy, but under their tough guy versade, they really are normal people. even if a lot of them are a*holes who only listen to one or two bands only.
Teenie-Boppers - Really obsessed pop fans, boy bands usually attract a lot of these fans. Most notably the band that has the biggest (ex)teenie-bopper following is Hanson. Walk into the room of a teenie-bopper, and you WILL be assaulted by massive posters and paraphanailia of their favourite artist. Trust me on this one, I live with one.
Nitpickers - This guy will be famous cos of me. Barry from High Fidelity. I need to say no more. If you havent seen High Fidelity, you need to get out and see this grand film. now. That involves leaving the basement.
Transgenre Drifters - This really belongs to both the EDM and Rock groups, a grouping of fans who like music for music's ability to make you laugh and cry. most of the time these people are really strange, enjoying music no-one else will touch.
@wilde: thats Ishkur insulting the hippies, not me.
man I love that image... multi purpose.
To everyone else: A lot of Linkin Park and the likes are really obsessed with petty... wait im repeating myself....
You want angry at society, the school system, the government? Four Words:
Rage Against The Machine.
end statement.

Of the two, I prefer Linkin Park, although Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a nice 'ballad' 
When I wake up in the morning, my iPod (that's neatly hooked up to my stereo) plays these song while I'm getting ready..
Faint
Somewhere I belong
Numb
By the time I've left home I'm ready !!
