Linkin Park had a reputation as a "bad band for teenagers" when I was a teenager. I think I was honestly too sheltered to get into them, I made zero effort to develop any musical taste outside my dad's or my older sister's.

We did have a Nickelback album though. Shameful.

I maintain that death is the universal constant that defines humanity and without it existence is pointless. How many millennia of TV watching could you live through before you just want insane?

I could just sit down and read good novels forever, because they will be written faster than I can read them. If nothing else, that's good enough for me.

I'd learn a gazillion languages. I would make untold discoveries in science. I would argue so much on Something Awful. It would be glorious.

It was a disappointing movie, by the way. A fitting tribute to an author with sucky views who had one or two good works way back when.

Also, re: bandchat. When I was a teenager I listened to Oasis. I assure you that I eventually got better, although I had to go through video-game/anime music to get where I am today.

I admit to buying that Collision Course EP they did with Jay-Z. I listened to that way too much my sophomore year in college.

Then again, I can still enjoy some ska, so my music tastes are already suspect.
