Linkin Park did not and does not endorse Trump, nor authorize his organization to use any of our music. A cease and desist has been issued.

The song “In the End” was featured in the background of the video, which included images of Trump and excerpts from his inauguration speech. Twitter removed the video

The twitter comments about Chester's death being a hit were so gross coming from people that probably have never listened to a Linkin Park song in their entire life.

I still remember a user here feeling the need to announce that they thought Chester killing himself was selfish, and it had only been a few hours since the news dropped

So much stigma and misinformation about suicide.

Ahh, the old suicide is selfish trope. I'm not saying it's a good thing but fuck, if someone is suicidal can we at least acknowledge how much pain they must be in to feel that way?
