As a mom this hit me differently. I took it as a warning to NEVER push my agenda on my children but help them thrive into their own. I may have chosen a different path, however I’ll de DAMNED if my kids felt judged by me for their choices. I want only the best for my kids and I’ll do my best to empower them to be their best. My kids are awesome and I’m damn proud of both of them.

That is the way I took it too when my youngest daughter used to play it... I love their music, and when she unexpectedly left this World, I took comfort in listening to her favorite songs, Linkin Park being one of her favorites. Needless to say, when he passed away, I felt like my daughter left me again... I cried for days....RIP Chester & D$VA

Nothing gender identify wise, I mean job wise, sexuality is fine too but my struggle is I have a business management degree but can’t find a job & I can’t imagine having a disability or disease. Complaining when my body works just fine as of now

This came out when I was a teen. Being a nerd and an artist, I never tried to be part of the popular group because I loved that I could just be myself with my fellow nerds. Now as an adult, I want to make sure my nephew will grow up with someone that will always support what HE likes and what he WANTS to try to do. Let him explore his interests and support him when he does finally have an idea what he wants. I want him to feel safe to chase his own dreams and be himself.

BJ we all listen to Chester's music with sadness after his suicide. You definitely can feel his pain and struggles in his voice. It does hit differently. One More Light, Crawling and Paper Cut is fire 🔥. RIP Chester

Chester's cover of rolling in the deep makes me ball too. Edit: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaeM1Lapf7nUkc4.html Here is the cover

I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG FOR 20 YEARS AND IT STILL BRINGS ME A LITTLE BIT OF TEARS EACH TIME.

Chester voice was so versitile and his heart so beautiful

Goddammit Asia. You've nearly got me in tears here from the truth you're speaking around 4 minutes in. I was one of those kids. I was a shaken baby, and my right side is partially paralyzed. I walk with a limp, I've worn glasses since I was 6, and I was incredibly smart as a child. Grade school and Junior High were HELL for me. I was bullied, teased, called every name imaginable... it was a nightmare. Being smart didn't help; I got along a lot better with adults, so I was a "teachers' pet" as well. Ironically, the physical injury was, or became rather, the least of all the problems. I learned to adapt to the differences in how my body worked relatively easily. The emotional and mental trauma that I went through over those 8 or so years though broke me in ways I'm sure I'll never understand completely. Now I'm 37, unemployed, living on SSDI, single, lonely, and as much as I need someone to be there for me, to help me without judgment or prejudice, I often feel like I have nothing to really offer in return. What self-esteem I have is about as strong as a Kleenex, holding together great as long as I don't need to do anything at all. So thank you for your words; they've touched my heart. To talk a bit about this song, it, along with the entire Meteora CD, was one of the biggest things that got me through much of my 20s, and even now, in my late 30s, I still relate to a lot of the songs on it. There are days, despite my best efforts, where I still feel like it is easier to run than to face all this pain here all alone. I'm still looking for somewhere I belong, and most days I feel emotionally numb because I'm scared of losing myself to my emotions without having someone to guide me back to 'me'. So yeah. Dammitall for making me feel this way tonight... and thank you.

Linkin Parks music always has a beautiful pain to it, and it also helped me through many difficult times to reach where I am now. I really hope you're able to find your way to your own happiness.

I always took it as *("I want to be more like me & less like you" "somebody used to be disappointed in you") a child parent situation where the parent is disappointed in the choices you make but it's your life to choose & your parents did the same when they were your age and somebody was disappointed in their decisions

Agree. It feels like it's about parental pressure being placed on the child to be what the parent wants them to be instead of what the child really is. Sadly, it's a repetitive cycle.

I feel like it's about both to be honest. Societal/peer expectations along with parental expectations. The expectations are linked to bullying, again from both groups. If you don't live up to what they want you to do, when they want you to do it, you get berated and ostracised for it.

Knowing that Chester struggled with depression and lost his battle to it. Their music hits different. Absolutely can feel his pain.

Thanks guys....every song I hear from LP brings me to tears! This song in particular. Each song he sings, I hear and feel HIS PAIN. I hear him struggling with his depression and wonder how deep the pain, I feel ya, BJ

It's amazing how much you guys are focused in on Linkin Park songs.. especially Asia..she looks spellbound. Please look into them farther and continue to do their reactions. I would suggest doing older songs and progressing into newer ones. Above all I would say wait to do "Given Up" until you've done at least 5-6 other songs first. God bless Linkin Park, RIP Chester.. 😔😥

True

I have fucked up so much in my life, but one thing I am proud of myself about is that I have always defended and tried to befriend people that seemed to me like that had no one else. I didnt care if I self-deteriorate and negelected my own problems if I could make one person think about their life a little bit better, I feel like my life wasnt wasted. I feel like most of us have similar feelings and thoughts that you guys are talking about despite any gender/race/sexual orientation differences, and the more people sending that message to everyone around us will impact the world more than any of us can know. As always, you guys are amazing.

Chester is incredible! Awesome singing voice, and at same time great screamer.

People, we all just need to love each other! Asia and BJ, I love you guys and your message. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I relate to you guys so much. I'm a 50 year old white conservative man, and we speak the same language.

One More Light live @ the Jimmy Kimmel live show. A heartbreaking performance right after Chris Cornells death. R.I.P. Chris and Chester🙏🏻

I like your reflections on this song. I see many just narrow it doing to not living up to their parents expectations. But I feel and think this song is trying to express it broader, how society almost expects everyone to be the same and to follow the same paths. It can be also be how we can feel trapped in our bodies. The reason I said this is because a few months before my mom died because of long term alchol abuse, I told her: "You know you will die if you continue this?". Her reply was: "I do not feel much anymore, I feel numb". In the end, her body was too much to fight against alone.

I really really REALLY love that you guys give a thorough analysis for the songs! Love that y'all talk it through and have a good discussion on it.

RIP Chester ❤ please check Crawling, Papercut, Somewhere I Belong and One More Light. Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands.

Lets go down the *Linkin Park* rabbit hole, so many hits I'm sure they'll refresh your memory you've heard somewhere A list for you to choose from *Crawling* *What I've done* *Breaking the habit* *New divide* *One step closer* *Paper cut* *Burn It Down* *One more light*

Mann y’all should definitely check out the mashup between linkin park & jay z, check out Encore/Numb at 2004 collision course which is my personal favorite 👌💪😂

Linkin Park and Evanescence were both 2 bands that really impacted me in my youth and I'm happy that more and more people are being introduced to them. Both of you are so thoughtful and really can break down a songs lyrics. Keep up the good stuff fam.

Yeeees!!!!! LP songs will always be about some type of emotion, whether its depression, anger,, sadness,, etc etc etc.. The best band in the world!!!! Somewhere I Belong should be next!!! Or Points of Authority, Papercut, damn, tooo many good ones!!!!

RIP Chester❤️❤️One of the great voices of our generation. To me, he is our Freddy Mercury

Definitely need to check out "Crawling"🤟🔥

Asia I agree with you 100%. My daughter has Autism, she goes to a regular school and is so incredibly smart. She get's bullied all the time, it breaks my heart. Kids make fun of her because she flaps her hands, she does this because it help's regulate her emotions.

Need to hear his version of rollin in the deep

🔥🔥🔥🔥 amazing song

I used to listen to this when I was swimming, was such a good competitive swimmer song. That's how I experienced it anyway, gives chills hearing it again.

I still get chills when I hear this, even after all this time

I traded mainstream media for truth. Asia and BJ give me their true feelings about life and I trust them. Thank you both for helping me sort through my own feelings by sharing yours. Mad respect and love.

Linkin Park- Given Up and The Linkin Park and Jay-Z mash up!

love some linkin park and yes Chester always wrote true feeling maybe what he went through and others also and everybody can always relate to some the songs in there life.they always made such amzing great music and Chester we miss you so much RIP..love how you guys are talking about and can already see video and his lyrics and some the meanings behind them awesome.

Love you guys! You actually react to the videos and music and have great insight, more than reactors. Keep up the great work!

I've always felt this song was about the cycle of emotional abuse, where the weight of unfair disappointment from a controlling parent or partner can destroy you. Or you can see what makes them treat you like this, but you don't know if you can escape it yourself.

they have so many awesome songs. keep checking out their songs

If someone wants to hurt someone they can always find something to attack them about. In a similar way, if two people want to communicate then it's possible even when there is no common language between them and love, appreciation and beauty can be shared and enjoyed. I have seen this first hand

love these and glad you guys are jumping into the Linkin Park hole. Keep it up much love to you both!!!

Thank you for bringing that point to light. Our daughter was born deaf, dealt with stupid people her whole life. She'll be 31 tomorrow still to this day dealing with it.

RIP TO A TRUE LEGEND

My interpretation of this song is a parent smothering a child and not letting them be their own person. Which can really screw them up.

Chester and Jay Z collab will always be iconic

It's about not living up to your Parents expectations, and Failing to do so, RIP Chester.

Always love your videos

Very cool guys, My wife and I just subbed we like seeing people react to what we had .

Im this video Chester suffer much pain.... this told by Mike..rip angel voice 😥🌹

This was one of my favorite groups back in the day

I have been a Linkin Park fan for 20 years. Their music has helped me greatly.

RIP Chester

I ❤️ Link Park! R.I.P. Chester!🥺😭😰🤗🥰🎸💃

Great one. You are 100% correct Asia.. ✌🏽❤

They did a carpool karaoke days before he died and Chester was having such a good time. They did this song at the end and Chester was singing but instead he was saying "Be more like me and be less like Mike"

Several of their songs are about running your self to death trying to live up to others expectations

In the video, it was the mother and daughter relationship. I believe in Chester's real life it was the father and son relationship. Expectations don't just kill parent/children relationships.

The girl in this video is Briana Evigan who played Andie in Step Up 2 The Streets, he father is an actor Greg Evigan he stared in an 80's tv show BJ and The Bear.

RIP CHESTER.....NEVER B ANOTHER!!! MORE LINKIN PARK!!!

Listening to your earliest response (around the 2:50 mark or so) reminds me of a George Carlin reference when he did a piece about finding our similarities as opposed to our differences in life. I think that if we all look at things that way, we'd be in a better place. Nice job guys - keep up the great work!

First concert I ever saw with my son at the TF Garden in Boston. Then a few years later he passes ... sad

RIP Chester ~ Always 🤘❤️

7:52 I like that BJ pointed out the musical complexity of Linkin Park here. Mostly what you hear about is the emotional impact of the music (which is undeniably significant), but these guys had a technical proficiency that left them a cut above many, if not most, of their peers.

Great Reaction and heartfelt thoughts Asia and BJ

i was deploy to iraq in 2004 in the army i am retired u.s army now but at that time my daugther was in HER 2 YEAR OF collage at that time , and she send me this CD. I LOVE THEM FROM THEN ON. I BLACK . AND MY DAUGTHER WENT TO AN ALL WHITE ( GIRLS) HIGH SCHOOL

Best band

To me this perfectly describes living with a narcissist. "Every step that I take is another mistake to you" I can't tell you how many times I've heard that.

Ohhh, PLEASE continue down the Linkin Park rabbit hole. Do you ever do album reactions? I recommend start with Hybrid Theory and then move to Meteora. Not ONE bad song on either of them. They will always be my favorite band. Chester (and Mike) both talke straight about how they were feeling and Chester poured his heart out with truth in his lyrics. He bared his soul. RIP, beautiful Chester.

these guys were great live

First off I just want to say I love y'all!! For me your reaction channel is right up there with No Life Shaq. LP came along during a very dark time in my life and through their music help me to pull through because it made me feel like someone out there understands what I was dealing with. I have a very broad range of music that I listen to and have seen a lot of talent go away entirely too soon. Chester's death for me personally was by far the most tragic. Please react to "Given Up" Live at AOL. This performance in hindsight gives you a better perspective of the inner pain Chester was dealing with. Thanks Asia & BJ.

I remember when Chester,Mike,Joseph (my guy at the mix and scratch table),Brad aka "Big Bad Brad"(shredding the guitar),Dave aka The Phoenix rocking the bass and Rob behind the drums first had a breakthrough. Soo many from the hard rock,metal communities threw major shit on them,because they were not completely metal. Back then i was a metalhead,i still consider myself one. But Linkin Park was something unique for me,i had never heard anything like it,and they mixed several genres together so perfectly. And every member so incredibly talented,i was hooked right away. Even Mike Shinoda who can basically do anything,but is best known as the rapper in the band,is still to this day very underrated as a rapper. He is a brilliant songwriter and producer as well. Have you checked out his sideproject yet? Fort Minor,they got several beautiful,great songs. If you havent checked them out,give this one a go for starters: "Where'd You Go - Fort Minor (feat. Holly Brook & Jonah Matranga) (Official Video)" Then if you loved that one,and want the full on Fort Minor to bring it: Fort Minor-Remember The Name. That last one gets people hyped!

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!! Your'e wonderful thankyou xx

This song is about the parent smothering their child and not letting them become what they want to be. It's not about bullying or being an outcast.

I didn’t read through all 273 comments but there’s a lot of talk that Tyler Joseph of twenty one pilots wrote their song Neon Gravestones with Chester in mind. I don’t know if there’s any truth to that but you should listen to Neon Gravestones. It’s an incredible song. It takes Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and he reimagines it. it’s so beautiful.

I always felt he's singing to parent figures.

Asia, I'm gonna throw a line at you. "If your run into one asshole during the day, they are probably actually the asshole....If you run into assholes all day long.....then you are the asshole." Just Paraphrasing what you said, it was on point. 😁 And BJ, the Chester thing, it so much harder now for me as well. It hit me hard back in the day but something just feels different.ff

Asia spot on.

R.I.P Chester we miss you n love you 😞

You should listen more on there live performances. I so lit and you can really hear the the passion of Chester singing

One of the best ever

I really do love your intro, I sing along every time I hear it. (Sadly I don't sound as good as Asia!)

You want a song that speaks on just how much pain he was in and no one noticed until he was gone, listen to given up. There’s one scream in particular where you can literally FEEL his pain. It’s truly sad how little people noticed his words were cries for help.

You are right about the bullying. But it’s also about trying to fill your parents shoes and the pressure of high expectations from them. Then if you find out that maybe you don’t want the same things your dad wants for you. It’s a situation many young people experience. Asia hit the nail on the head.

LINKIN PARK IS AN GENERATIONAL HALL OF FAME BAND 100%
