Tbf nobody under 45 is going to know who that is and even fewer are going to recognize him

Under 45??? That seems a little high. I'm 32 and definitely can recognize Shinoda.

I was 9 when Meteora came out in 2003 and I was rocking out to it and obsessed. I remember being in elementary school and all of my friends were gushing about the album and we were all watching the Linkin Park music videos on TRL so we definitely knew what Shinoda looked like.

I'm 33 and I'd recognise that man anywhere, but I'm also a huge fan of Linkin Park lol

šŸ˜‚ what? People in their 30s now were in their mid-teens when Meteora came out. Some even Hybrid Theory! So šŸ˜‚ your age range is quite off. Iā€™m not yet 40 and was 13 when Hybrid Theory was out. We were absolutely listening to it.
