alchemyminiAMV | Farewell [[In Memory of Chester Bennington]] @alchemyminiAMV | Uploaded August 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
On July 20, 2017 the world lost a very talented human being. To celebrate his memory I felt it would be good to bring some of my editing friends from TM Studios together who also wanted to dedicate a small MEP to him. This project was made quickly, but with love from all of us who will miss the good memories Chester's music brought us. Rest in peace, Chester. You will be missed.

Marie: I suppose I should write something on how Linkin Park influenced me over the years. I first heard “papercut” when I was in 8th grade. I remember having the CD and listening to it on the bus ride home on my Sony Walkman. I remember some younger girl on the activity bus asking for my headphones so that she could hear it too…and I remember her jamming out to the song in her seat. When I was a little older, I remember watching Fuse in the mornings before school…I loved watching the morning rock music videos (Fuse was soooo much better than MTV)…and faint would come on A LOT.When I graduated high school, I watched the music video for breaking the habit for the first time (OH HEY LOOK THAT’S ANIME xDD). So, I guess you could say I’m part of the generation that grew up with the band’s music. I feel like LP music specifically touched a lot of the generation of "outcast kids" from even my days in high school - just look at how many AMVs from pre-2010 that were made with their music - they were phenomenal and Chester will be missed. Depression and anxiety can exist in anyone no matter what walk of life they are from. For Chester, he had a very long and complex battle with it…which ultimately ended in his suicide. I didn’t cry over his death, but I felt an overwhelming about of sympathy for the family he left behind. I believe that his suicide once again shows that highly functional people who appear “normal” may be privately battling severe blues. Which is why I implore anyone fighting the good fight themselves to seek help. Depression affects approximately 121 million people worldwide, and it is a very real thing. I don’t know what direction the band will take now with their lead singer dead…whether linkin park will try to move on without him or if they will fade into oblivion…but I do know that their music resonates with many on a very personal level, and I am thankful for what Chester was able to pour his emotions into, create and leave behind for the rest of us to enjoy and remember.
