Co-worker: *mentions what happened, saying it’s “another one gone”*
Me: Linkin Park was such a huge part of my teenage years, I was so shocked and sad when I heard what happened.
Co-worker: it’s just a guy, you didn’t know him.
Me: yeah but I mean, you know when you’re a “misunderstood” teenager and you’re obsessed with a band, it feels like they’re your best friends, saying exactly the words you want to hear. They become part of who you were growing up.
Co-worker: you’re weird.
