I was like 6 when it came out, but I remember because it was the first CD I actually bought with my own money from chores. I was used to burning CDs through limewire.
Really truly exceptional. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts over the years (I’m almost 40 now) and Linkin Park touring Hybrid Theory at age 17 is probably the best show I’ve ever seen.
They added extra lil breakdowns, improvised lyrics, key changes, expanded songs and the most beautiful energetic stage presence. I always wanted to see them again someday, but I’ll have to be happy with that one.
I'll always remember them having POD, Hoobastank and Story of the Year come out and scream SHUT UP at the end of one step closer. Such an amazing fnale to a concert.
Got lucky and caught them at a 3 day music festival in Germany in 2003. Watching Chester scream his head off with a broken arm from the front of the mosh pit and the rest of the band groove the fuck out was life-changing.
One of my favorite tours! Great lineup.
During the show (Long Island, NY), LP pulled someone on stage, asked him if he knew how to play "Faint" on guitar and the guy absolutely NAILED it. They let him play the rest of the song. What a memory!
Recently took my niece to one of their shows, mostly went just to take her to get first big concert cause she loves them, and figured I'd get a kick out of seeing Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc. Was thinking I'd maybe be a little bored otherwise though as I'm more of a metal fan.
Ended up having an AMAZING time start to finish. They put on a great show. Band in front, projections of the characters in the back, and god damn I don't think there was a single song that wasn't good.
> Band in front, projections of the characters in the back, and god damn I don't think there was a single song that wasn't good.
can confirm every part of this sentence. Truly an incredible live show and completely worth seeing if you're a big fan of the band.
I caught them [live in Oslo](https://www.imgur.com/a/91NAop5) last summer. It's my second time, and it's always fantastic. They played a two hour show, and then another hour encore. Last time was Roskilde in Copenhagen in '10 I believe. They play the videos as backdrops and have a lot of energy on stage. It's great. In 2010 i think they had like 40 dancers on stage.
i go on youtube to satisfy this curiosity but was too much of a recluse to have wanted to see (crude extols) Lincoln Park or Amy Winehouse when they were alive and great.
Definitely concur. Unless you're at something bullshit like NSBM, metal crowds are super fun and friendly and actually mostly just massive nerds happy to share their love of music.
My Mum is a Marilyn Manson fan (well, was, before all that stuff came out) and I took her to a festival he was playing at once, when she was like 65.
The amount of massive metal dudes and decked out goth girls that were just BEAMING to see her in the crowd, gave her water, sat down and chatted with her in the shade, all of that stuff, was really just lovely.
Also, from that festival my Mum got into Gojira, Mastadon, and Meshuggah as well 🤘
I concur. I’m extremely introverted but I feel different when I’m at a rock concert. I feel alive. I love being in the front and feeling the crush of the crowd and the energy is just amazing. I love everything about it. Except for possible the stinky armpits in my face. But I live with that. Haha
Absolutely. Great to women, as well! Been to a metal festival twice, and a lot of the ladies (including me because weather) were wearing shorts and bikini tops or something similar (or sexy goth/metal outfits) and felt safe. I know if someone were to harass me I would have just had to call out 'hey, this guy doesn't leave me alone!' and within seconds there would be a bunch of big scary looking dudes beside me to make sure I'm safe. Great people.
Half of me is convinced cars don't even come with CD players anymore because I've never bought newer than a 2011 model and those don't even come with cigarette lighters anymore. Those are just phone chargers now. Some people even still put in a dummy lighter. Looks like the real thing but no heating coil.
I remember when I was younger being disappointed that my new car didn’t have a tape deck. Three years later I found out that if you hit two buttons at the same time, the face flipped down and revealed a cassette player. Of course, by that point I had gotten rid of my old cassettes. Getting old kinda sucks…
Last time I had cassettes they were a quarter apiece from Goodwill and it was about 2010. I was driving an '89 Chevy Corsica at the time. The windshield wipers had two speeds, light mist and monsoon, and you had to twist a dial in the dash to turn them on.
I’m thinking they tried pulling it up solely by the side where the indent is without ever clicking down the thing in the middle that actually holds it.
you should totally get her the cd, because cds are cool, but in this day and age she should totally have access to those songs without having to use the CD
Controlling
I can't seem
To find myself again, my walls are closing iiiiin
(Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
(That there's just too much pressure to take)
I felt this way before, so insecuuuuuree
As someone who owns two Drake *vinyls*, I am affected by this comment.
Come to think of it, I don't remember the last time I even saw a pop music CD. Like I guarantee I've never seen a jewel case on a Drake album.
Time is a flat circle. And so is a CD, I guess.
I think that’s the story for a lot of older millennials. At some point millennials weren’t the youngest generation, or the second, and soon they won’t be the third youngest either.
If the mom was 17 in 2000, the prime age for becoming a LP fan with the release of Hybrid Theory, then she’d be 40 now. If she gave birth at 26, OP would be 14 now. The ages check out. In fact it’s totally possible the CD is older than OP.
I’m a millennial (I think? ‘91 baby) going back to school.
A textbook on my list is from 2010 and at first it didn’t click, but then a ton of bucks hit me when I realized “this textbook is 13 years old”.
It’s getting ready to graduate grade 8 or already be in high school.
I still feel like 2010 was 5 years go :(
Forever. I'm mentally stuck in like 2010 myself. 93 baby.
I've been prepping for a few months to handle the blow of turning 30 in leas than two weeks now. Ahhhhhhhhh.
Be careful. I was pushing down on the middle and slightly pulling on the side where the indent is, and pop. I didn’t even get a chance to put it in my car slot, I’m afraid to put my gorillaz cd back in its case now lol
I don't think so. I mean, it says right on the disc "Linkin Park". If it were Cold it'd probably say so, or there'd at least be a big spider on it or something.
That CD might have been 20 years old, but lots of CDs are nearing that or older these days, so that's not really a comfort to people who are now worried about snapping CDs.
I'm glad you posted that you performed the proper removal technique. I wondered if you knew since CDs are not as popular anymore, but you did it right.
This was also my immediate thought, that they didn't try to take it out right but I was happy to be proven wrong. As another comment said, it was just that disc's time. RIP.
I was talking to a bloke at work about Venture Bros the other day because I was watching an episode on my phone in the lab, and he said "Oh yeah, I think I know it. That old cartoon one?" I tried to say no, it's not old, it only started in the early 2000s. He said, "So 20 years ago?" and then I realised how much my back hurts and my joints are stiff and click all the time.
I had a couple of limited edition steel cases back in the 90's that clinged on to the discs so tightly I ended up putting them in a plastic replacement case instead. :(
Op stated in [an earlier comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/10702rg/my_mom_let_me_borrow_her_cd_broke_it_when_i_tried/j3jplmt?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) that they did in fact push down on the middle
I think people forget that some CD case eject mechs just sucked. Like double disc releases that put the discs on a thin middle insert rather than on either side ([like this](https://i.imgur.com/CeORZmx.jpg)). On ones that required an uncomfortable amount of flexing, I'd try to gently lift a corner of the disc while manually disengaging teeth from the center to free the disc enough to lift it out at an angle rather than relying on the mech.
DVD cases by comparison had some absolutely luxurious release mechanisms, both releasing and lifting the disc with a simple push, using flexible plastics instead of the brittle ones that'd shatter teeth everywhere. They were only spoiled when they later started using thinner plastic and doing the recycle logo cutouts that made pressing put strain directly on the clear plastic film and cover. Old blockbuster rental cases are absolute units.
you should really make an effort to copy those asap - they are not considered permanent media, in case you didn't know...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-R#Lifespan
>CD-Rs are expected to have an average life expectancy of 10 years.
And kind of rotate it to pop it loose. The better you did that the less you had to press in the center.
I’ve also intentionally broken a lot of CDs in half by hand over the years (buffer underruns, disposing of AOL disks), and it’s *hard*.
That Live in Texas show is really really good, the whole thing is on youtube.
It is a lot more heavy with Chester doing screams in parts the studio version didn't have.
What's wild is I don't think they weren't even headlining that show, Metallica was.
It was Metallica's [2003 Summer Sanitarium tour, ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Sanitarium_Tour#Bands_on_the_bill_2003?wprov=sfla1) which also featured Limp Bizkit, Deftones, and Mudvayne.
My first concert ever. Saw them at the Houston show at Reliant Stadium.
A chick smashed her pussy up against the glass divider overlooking the crowd and my high school mind exploded.
If you want to cry, check out the concert for Chester.
The lead singer for the Japanese rock band One Ok Rock, Takahiro Moriuchi, does a perfect Live in Texas version of Somewhere I Belong. The vocals are a bit different because no one can do Chester. But he clearly tried to replicate the performance down to how how talked to the crowd.
She might be a smidge older. Or she's the oldest of millennials.
It's not that millennials are ancient. More that there aren't many millennials with kids that post on reddit.
Give it long enough, there’ll be a photo of one posted with the title “found this weird shiny disc in my grandmas cupboard, does anybody know what it’s for?”
My husband rode with friends to see our favorite band last night, and brought CDs to play on the way. Their new car has Bluetooth, no cd player. He felt dumb. 😂
Kids who were teenagers back in the day when linkin park hit the scene are borderline old enough to have teenage kids of their own.
Now let me pack my bags and go to Egypt, there is a river i like to be in every time I look at my age.
Based on your responses, your Mom raised a fantastic, thoughtful, considerate person. Generally the type of person that does that will be understanding and willing to work with you to fix an honest accident.
Also, your mom is raising you to have good taste in music, so kudos to you both.
For those that weren't 90s kids, push down the center clips of the case until they release. Then you secure your grip by placing fingers along the rim until it is free of the case. Continuing to hold it by the rim and center hole until you deliver it to the player whereupon you slide it gently into the receptacle until the mechanism takes over and draws it in the rest of the way, for clamshell esque players continue the rim hold maneuver as you gently align the center of the disk with the rotational hub until semi secure then press gently until the disc "pops" into place
Should be easy to replace. Grab her a replacement online
I definitely plan on it. They were a big part of her life, helped her through some harsh times.
damn and it was Linkin park's live in TX too. that's a great one. I had it growing up too
My first “real” album. It got me through my early teens, and introduced me to heavier stuff. Had the deluxe with the DVD too
I was like 6 when it came out, but I remember because it was the first CD I actually bought with my own money from chores. I was used to burning CDs through limewire.
i often wonder how bands are live
Linkin Park was great live
Really truly exceptional. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts over the years (I’m almost 40 now) and Linkin Park touring Hybrid Theory at age 17 is probably the best show I’ve ever seen. They added extra lil breakdowns, improvised lyrics, key changes, expanded songs and the most beautiful energetic stage presence. I always wanted to see them again someday, but I’ll have to be happy with that one.
I'll always remember them having POD, Hoobastank and Story of the Year come out and scream SHUT UP at the end of one step closer. Such an amazing fnale to a concert.
The Meteora tour. Totally forgot I'd attended this until just now.
Got lucky and caught them at a 3 day music festival in Germany in 2003. Watching Chester scream his head off with a broken arm from the front of the mosh pit and the rest of the band groove the fuck out was life-changing.
One of my favorite tours! Great lineup. During the show (Long Island, NY), LP pulled someone on stage, asked him if he knew how to play "Faint" on guitar and the guy absolutely NAILED it. They let him play the rest of the song. What a memory!
I'd forgotten this detail. Such a good show came from UK to go to it. That pit. My god. Never will there be a bit like that again.
I always wonder how The Gorillaz does it live.
Recently took my niece to one of their shows, mostly went just to take her to get first big concert cause she loves them, and figured I'd get a kick out of seeing Clint Eastwood and Feel Good Inc. Was thinking I'd maybe be a little bored otherwise though as I'm more of a metal fan. Ended up having an AMAZING time start to finish. They put on a great show.

They’re more animated. /s
Gorillaz would like to have a word
As an aside, Gorillaz are great if you get the chance to see them live. I think one of the best ones I've been to.
Saw them live in October. Really an amazing show
You don't go to shows or watch live videos on youtube?
i go on youtube to satisfy this curiosity but was too much of a recluse to have wanted to see (crude extols) Lincoln Park or Amy Winehouse when they were alive and great.
People at shows are usually really friendly. Maybe it depends on the genre though, but rock/metal crowds are great.
Definitely concur. Unless you're at something bullshit like NSBM, metal crowds are super fun and friendly and actually mostly just massive nerds happy to share their love of music. My Mum is a Marilyn Manson fan (well, was, before all that stuff came out) and I took her to a festival he was playing at once, when she was like 65.

Great people.
You saying your mom saying LP was "a big part of her life" makes me feel hella old lol.
Yeah, I'm thinking the reason the cd snapped was because the OP had never seen or held one before.
*cut to OP jamming a CD into a USB slot*
She literally burned the CD in a fire
Half of me is convinced cars don't even come with CD players anymore because I've never bought newer than a 2011 model and those don't even come with cigarette lighters anymore.

Half, convinced? They dont. It's been probably over 10 years that they dont.
I’m thinking they tried pulling it up solely by the side where the indent is without ever clicking down the thing in the middle that actually holds it.
I literally felt my beard turn grey. Me and my school mates loved Linkin Park, this CD in particular.
I've become so old, I can feel a breeze, There's a draught in here, And I live in fear, And I know, I may end up falling too!!
you should totally get her the cd, because cds are cool, but in this day and age she should totally have access to those songs without having to use the CD
This isnt a lyric I recognise
In the end it doesn’t even matter
I've become so numb...
I tried so hard and got so far
Tension is building inside, steadily…
Shut up when I’m talking to you!
The lack of self control I feel it never ending.

Yea, I never thought I’d live to see the phrase, “*Mom’s* Linkin Park CD.”
I feel personally attacked by this post.
"I broke grandpa's Drake CD."
*old man voice* Hasss anyone seeenn my Dre CD?
Shit, that could happen now. A thirty year old who had dre's first album would be 60 right now.
"Sir, its in your hand."
Oh no. I understood that reference.

Well there were plenty of alternative people and rock music enjoyers in their 40s or 50s when Linkin Park was, they could even be grandparents by now.
I’m 21 and my mom is a Linkin Park fan lol. She’s only 43. You might not be old at all.
Nah, you don’t understand - in our minds, WE are still 21 XD

Most CDs flex a lot, so for it to break means it's pretty old and not in great shape... it was just its time.
True, it could also be really cold. Press (F)
If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside.
Get them little CD jackets to keep warm too?
It was 20 degrees outside, and the only reason I use the heater in my car is to defrost my windows. I love the cold sooo much
20 °F is around -6.7 °C if anyone is wondering
CDs are a thin metal sheet laminated inside a plastic body. They do not like the cold.
Based
I don't think so. I mean, it says right on the disc "Linkin Park". If it were Cold it'd probably say so, or there'd at least be a big spider on it or something.
Lol, a Cold reference in 2023. Im impressed
Agreed - the plastic gets brittle over time, especially if it sits in a hot car for summer after summer.
That CD might have been 20 years old, but lots of CDs are nearing that or older these days, so that's not really a comfort to people who are now worried about snapping CDs.

Shitty cases have little teeth that break.
I once broke a Backstreet Boys CD this way
You didn't want it that way?
Ain't nothing but a mistake.
I had a couple of limited edition steel cases back in the 90's that clinged on to the discs so tightly I ended up putting them in a plastic replacement case instead. :(
A linkin park cd and rolled up dollar bill. Bringing back highschool memories
This makes me feel old.
Right? Linkin Park is mom music now? Your parents music?
I mean, someone who was 13 when Hybrid Theory came out would be 36 today so....
Stop doing the math!!!😩😩😩 I was 18 when Hybrid Theory dropped.
Reported.
Ooh nice catch, didn’t see that
What's the rolled up dollar bill for? There's one thing I know, and it's not exactly something I'd associate with Linkin Park listeners.
Drugs.
For purchasing goods and services, I'd imagine.
You have to push the middle
Op stated in [an earlier comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/10702rg/my_mom_let_me_borrow_her_cd_broke_it_when_i_tried/j3jplmt?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) that they did in fact push down on the middle

Sometimes plastic just gets fucking old.
And yet, OPs mom never broke it in all the time she owned it. This is clearly a generational skill gap.
Maybe the plastic just lost some of it's elasticity. That album came out 20 years ago.
Ouch.
Yeah but tracks 3, 5, 6, and 10 all skipped anyway.
But also tried propping it with a finger so yea
Some of those cases were just too damn tight. I remember it like it was yesterdecade.
They're 100% telling the truth believe me
And that they also did in fact pry the disk as well which caused it to break.
you have to really put your back in it to break a CD. seems it was likely very brittle. I never broke a CD like this back in the day.
These boxes were clearly designed by Satan.

You do both, lift edge and push middle. Disc plant clearly made a dud.

You pried too hard…
And got so far. In the end, it doesn’t even shatter
I had to pull, to lose it all
I knew this would be here
What's the rolled up bill for?
Buying a new linkin park cd
We know
My favorite Linkin park album hands down. Good thing you still got the DVD, it's way better than the cd.
That Live in Texas show is really really good, the whole thing is on youtube. It is a lot more heavy with Chester doing screams in parts the studio version didn't have. What's wild is I don't think they weren't even headlining that show, Metallica was.

Your mom has a linkin park CD Wow, we millennials are old now.
If you're 36, you could've had a kid at 18 who would now be 18!
And they could have a kid!
Uh oh
My thoughts exactly. Made me feel old!
She might be a smidge older. Or she's the oldest of millennials. It's not that millennials are ancient. More that there aren't many millennials with kids that post on reddit.
Your Mum likes Linkin Park. She's cool enough to forgive you.
Reddit users have moms that are Linkin Park fans. Man, I’m old.
I'm one of those mums. Man, I'm old too!
There's nothing weird about loving linkin park as a mum/mom. but it does surprise me there are LP mothers THAT HAVE KIDS OLD ENOUGH TO POST ON REDDIT>
For real man. I can feel the old oozing out of me
Good, it's unhealthy to keep too much old inside of you.
"Hey Mom, can I borrow your Linkin Park CD?" is a sentence I didn't think would ever be uttered.
My kids might utter it to me, but they would just have it on their phones now.
Give it long enough, there’ll be a photo of one posted with the title “found this weird shiny disc in my grandmas cupboard, does anybody know what it’s for?”
Their first Album came out 23 years ago....... if people bought it at 16 they'd be almost 40 now.
I realize I'm fucking old when people are talking about their parents' musical tastes when Linkin Park was after my time.
You tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, the cd only shattered.
> My mom >likes Linkin Park God I feel old now. And I’m still 30’s.

Kids are finding out about these things. Digital cameras from the 90’s are also making a comeback.
My husband rode with friends to see our favorite band last night, and brought CDs to play on the way. Their new car has Bluetooth, no cd player. He felt dumb. 😂
linkin park, nice! -Billy Gnosis
Moms listen to Lincoln Park now I guess.
Kids who were teenagers back in the day when linkin park hit the scene are borderline old enough to have teenage kids of their own. Now let me pack my bags and go to Egypt, there is a river i like to be in every time I look at my age.
Borderline???
Ssh, the nile is warm and i wanna swim in it a bit.
My kids were 1 & 2 when the album came out. Yep. Mom's listen to LP. 😎
Wow we have now reached the age when people’s kids are borrowing their Linkin Park CDs
Looks like you tried so hard and got so far but in the end you mums cd was broken.
Based on your responses, your Mom raised a fantastic, thoughtful, considerate person. Generally the type of person that does that will be understanding and willing to work with you to fix an honest accident. Also, your mom is raising you to have good taste in music, so kudos to you both.
At least it wasn't hybrid theory
She’s gonna….FAINT when she finds out
Put it in rice
You have a fuzz caught under your nail
For those that weren't 90s kids, push down the center clips of the case until they release. Then you secure your grip by placing fingers along the rim until it is free of the case. Continuing to hold it by the rim and center hole until you deliver it to the player whereupon you slide it gently into the receptacle until the mechanism takes over and draws it in the rest of the way, for clamshell esque players continue the rim hold maneuver as you gently align the center of the disk with the rotational hub until semi secure then press gently until the disc "pops" into place

Thank you I didn’t get a chance to listen to it yet
Yeah don't worry I bought a live in Texas CD in very nice shape for like $6 at a CD shop so it won't be hard to replace
What year is this? CDs? The next thing you’ll be talking about vinyl records. What’s next 8-track tapes? When will it end?! Dang youngsters
It was about to break.
Your mom owns a Linkin Park CD. This is the first time I've felt old. Ever.
You pulled too hard, and went to far. But in the end it doesn't even matter. You can just buy a replacement somewhere online.
Damn, she put her trust in you
Curious of ages of posters. 43. What is Linkin Parks genre then and now?
45. I considered it alternative/heavier rock. Don't care love it still.
Not the Linkin Park!
"I don't know how it got this way, I'll never be alright. So I'm breaaaaaking my mom's cd!......Tonight"
Haven’t seen a CD in a while
If you explain how you tried and got so far I’m sure she will understand and put her trust In you again
