I remember hearing Mike Shinoda talk about fans complaining that Linkin Park’s later stuff was less angsty and more nuanced… he said basically “Of course it is… we’re older, in a different place in our lives… it would be pretty sad if our music didn’t grow up with us.”

When you discover a band during the intense emotions of teenage-hood , when you find music that eloquently speaks the feelings you cannot even put into words, it forms an intense bond. It feels like the artists are reading your mind. The music becomes a friend, a confidant, it comforts you and understands you. It forms part of your identity. As you get older, other things or people fill that role. But I just saw Depeche Mode last night and the new songs are gorgeous.

The reason I practically stopped listening to Classic Rock radio stations is because, at 61 years old, I can play all of these songs in my head from start to finish.

There’s a term in psychology called ‘prototypical memory’ which is about how we always tend to go back to our very first experiences of something as the reference point for everything that comes after that.
