Linkin Park
"Hybrid Theory" creators
Linkin Park is an American rock band formed in 1996, known for blending heavy guitar riffs with hip-hop elements and electronic production.
The group achieved massive commercial success in the early 2000s with albums like *Hybrid Theory* and *Meteora*, becoming one of the best-selling acts of that era.
Their sound helped define the nu-metal genre: I grew up on Linkin Park and Korn.
