No I'm not talking about the only good original Linkin Park album. But, yes, I am stealing the name.

I always notice that the things I like most are things that seem to be hybrids of a few other things.

You could say it started with that LP album. A mix of alternative rock and urban influences. But then it got better. They took that album and had a bunch of hiphop artist remix it, and we got one of ny favorite albums, Reanimation.

Then I got into Skipknot and KoRn and such. NuMetal. New Urban Metal. Metal plus hiphop and electronic music.

I really like old things mixed with new. Electroswing, SteamPunk, DieselPunk.

Part of the reason I'm sticking to the horrid idea of a wolf raccoon hybrid.
