I love you.
ripping on linkin park songs is banned forever, thanks
As someone who has just gotten through a really dark and dangerous mind space of suicide caused by depression, LP helped me as they did for many others. For me, my recent darkness was caused by the exhaustion one feels after dealing with depression and mental health on your own (many services for me and others like me have been cut) - there's only so much one can carry before realizing you're too tired to continue.
In the past, some of the thoughts had been on 'everyone would be better off w/o me' - this idea was quickly eradicated by people I didn't realize were friends and support. Then there was the 'I'm a burden to everyone' thought, which rose when, in my depressed state, I put too much of my own issues on supportive friends who were also going through a tough time (though I only recognized this in hindsight) and said friends cut ties quite brutally.
But through art and love, I'm still here. Chester, we may not understand the why, but know that you were (and always will be) loved, RIP. I'm sorry depression has claimed another too early.
This is sad news.
I don't think I listened to LP before but it's always sad news when people die, commit suicide, etc.
Thanks for this tribute.
Even though I hate their music, it's sad that he did this. They always seem to go in pairs...
If you're disappointed that Chester got a tribute but other people didn't; you can design your own custom wearable item. It's not the staff's duty to make a tribute to everyone, they just wanted to because he was important to them. They can't please everybody, just appreciate this item and respect their mourning.
Thank you Subeta. We need more awareness and more places to talk about depression, mental health, bullying, crisis, and suicide. Thank you for posting those important phone numbers and reminding people that they are indeed special and loved.

Ohhh I'm crying again. Chester.
Got instantly choked up when I saw this. Thank you <3
He will be missed.
I honestly haven't listened to Linkin Park since I was a teen, and I'm shocked to hear this - and I live under a rock and only just found out about this tonight. How did I not hear about this yesterday? I really need to be in touch with the news. Also, thank you for the reminder, Chester wasn't the only one. Depression affects a lot of us.

RIP Chester
Thank you Subeta Team for this tribute.
His words touched me in a way that kept me alive through relentless bullying, a violent household, and self-hatred through my early teenage years. I'll never forget his words, or his voice. I'm sorry you couldn't keep going, Chester. You were so, so loved and so appreciated. You defined a generation of people who felt like outcasts.
instead of making a passive aggressive sarcastic comment, might as well be respectful towards someone's death. want a tribute of your idol? commission one yourself, but don't come here trash the tribute they did bc it wasn't of your taste. the guy's passed away and he deserves as much respect as anyone else. be more considerate, jfc.
This is one of the reasons I love Subeta so much. This brought tears to my eyes because you care about us, and you always do tributes when you know people will need something. Thank you sincerely.
Thank you for this <3
Thank you <3
Seeing that is nearly making me cry. Linkin Park, as cliché as it may be, helped shaped me in my early teenage years and helped me feel less alone when I felt like nothing in my life was going to improve. To know Chester committed suicide is crushing, and now the music they released hold so much more meaning than they have before. I wish he didn't fall to such desperate actions, but the least we can do is support his family and appreciate what he's left for us to remember him by.
At first I was so angry when I heard about this on the local news last night. Now I'm just sad. LP got me through some tough times in high school and their music still resonates with me today. Thanks for this. :) It would be nice if we could acknowledge everyone who passes in such a way.
I can't imagine what his battles were... Love Linkin Park even though I grew out of their music in the my late teens. Still love and respect all of the band members so very much.
Chris Cornell died too??? Really???? How??? I like listening to Soundgarden and Audioslave and some of his solo songs, so this would be sad for me
Linkin Park got me through a terrible time in my life, it's amazing what music can do for the soul. When my mom walked out on our family my dad raised my brother and I by himself which was tough on all of us. Hybrid Theory (and Meteora) were everything to me, it was the first time I felt heard and understood and realized that there are other people out there struggling just like I am, and putting on a mask to get by. Thanks Subeta Team for releasing this item; It will be a perfect addition to my nostalgia pet's TC.
Let's all remember that everyone is going through something. Many people use Subeta as an escape from the troubles of the real world so we must all do our best to be inclusive, supportive and kind to one another.
This is the sort of thing that separates Subeta from other sites. Kudos to the team for reaching out (once again) to those who are hurting.
For those who may be wrestling with depressive thoughts: just because you feel unworthy of love, that does not mean you are unloved. Love is not a merit system, it is not something you earn or "deserve." It is irrational, unpredictable, and it happens to good people and bad. When people tell you that you matter -- that you are loved -- they are trying to remind you of this. You DO matter, even though you feel worthless. Your thoughts and feelings are coming from a condition you are suffering from. Please get help. You would seek medical attention if you suffered from diabetes, a broken arm, or some other medical condition. Your suicidal thoughts are also symptoms of a medical condition -- and there are a wide variety of treatments available. Suicide does not end the pain -- it only passes from you to your family and friends. Please don't hurt anyone, seek help. You matter.
So sad. I mean, it's not like I even knew him, but I knew his music. His music was part of my middle school/high school years that weren't always so easy and it made me feel better, if only for a little while. It's funny how a person that you've never even met can mean so much to you. I wish he could have known how much he meant to so many people. RIP C
I heard the awful news driving home. My favorite radio station was playing Linkin Park; and, of course, I was jamming out to my youth. Then, the radio host comes onto the radio telling us that Chester committed suicide and gives us the national suicide hotline # as well. I was in shock, and teared up all the way home.
Rest easy, dude. You did help me get through my childhood. ❤️

Never forget you are loved! ❤
Childhood abuse leaves scars forever, unfortunately. :( Going through what he did at such a young age changes you as a person. May he find peace and finally be at rest now. My heart will always have an empty spot for LP - they got me, and many other youth, through hard times growing up. :'(
like staff has said before they can't do one for everybody they just do it for ones that impact a particular staff member it's up to them to make one it's not required
This statement sort of makes me feel like it only matters who the staff are upset about dying; I understand George Romero not being mentioned at all he, sort of underground or whatever but Adam West? Batman? Come on. I can't believe there's no mention at all of Adam West, there are tons of Batman tribute items all over the site so why wouldn't that matter to them?
Thank you for your answer. At least I didn't miss it, and have to shell out a lot for it.
I guess I am probably a lot older than staff, Chris Cornell was my youth, whereas Linkin Park was my niece's. And Adam West as mentioned...wasn't he everyone's youth? But, I also understand not making something every time someone dies. 2016 would certainly have been a busy year for that, and this year may be shaping up the same.
Heartbreaking news. I didn't really listen to LP back in the day (grew up listening to Christmas music year-round, thanks Mom, haha) but I hate to hear this type of news for anyone. Please reach out when you're hurting. You're loved ❤ Thank you so much for this tribute, Subeta.
*NOT going to lie. It's early.
Shit. I haven't listened to Linkin Park since their Hybrid Theory days, but I still gasped out loud when I saw that yesterday.
However I'm going to lie, I'm disappointed Chris Cornell went ignored.
Thank you for this :'(
I am so sad about this :(
Thank you!
I wasn't crying until this. Beautiful tribute. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you.
<3 Thank you Subeta. I can't remember years when Chester and Linkin Park were not in my life. Creating a fantastic new things for us to feel more sound for our emotions to resonate with. There was nothing like them. No one could ever match up if they tried.
thank you. Ive been having a hard time also and this is like, wow. my heart goes out to his family and, I understand suicide is a real and hard, the struggle when you are depressed or have things happening that are hard to cope to find a way out of the mindset. I cant write properly but...my heart.
I can't stop crying
May he rest in peace ;_;
RIP Chester T-T i hope you found peace. I couldnt believe it last night when i heard. To top things off i heard of many people in the entertainment industry dying... it's bizarre.. not everyone committed suicide, but still.. so sad..
<3 you are the best <3 Thanks for your great social sensibility
My condolences to Chester Bennington's family and friends. I pray that he finds the peace he deserves, wherever he is now. Depression is serious business, and I can understand how painful it must've felt to him. But everyone, know that no matter how painful it feels, you are not alone. Even in pain, you're not alone. And your mind is tricking you. You're not worthless or stupid or not good enough. You're you, and only you can be you. This fact alone proves how unique and invaluable you are. Please stay strong.

i know that a lot of users here grew up with lp's old music, but it was the rough few months that they had when people started coming down on their new music. that must have really affected chester. please remember, if you love someone, love them for who they are despite their changes, despite their growths, and despite the new struggles they face. its hard to stay strong when people start hating you because "youre not the person i used to know" and i truly admire chester's strength while under fire like that. but even the strongest people break sometimes... please continue to love lp despite being a new lp, and even if such drastic losses have taken place. please continue to love those that are not the same anymore.
Wait, what happ - ah, shitbags. :( And I thought it was already a bad day just because the screen on my laptop went out. Well, thank you Subeta, it's a great tribute and an awesome item.
Sad news. Sometimes people think that suicide is cowardliness, but only the person who has taken their own life knows the darkness, pain and loneliness they went through. People always say "They had all the support and help they needed." You have to have their head on your body to know their daily struggles on even the simplest things. There's always a root. Sometimes taking about it helps, but sometimes it doesn't. It drives people literally insane. Not being able to be understood by others or ourselves can lead to unhappiness. You don't have to be a bad person to suffer from this. Doesn't matter how much wealth we have. How many friends and family say they love us. It is still posible to feel alone and unhappy. It's a disease called depression and it's not attention seeking, self-pity, cowardness or selfishness! The last thing anyone wants is to feel the way they do. RIP Chester. I never really listened to LP, but LP were and still are a HUGE part of my dad's life. 8'C
LP played a big musical role in my life and Chester's voice was sth I could listen to every day without getting tired of it. Cannot say more still lacking words...R.I.P.
Thank you for this tribute item <3
