The people that hate Limp Bizkit hates them because they don't even know about the greatest songs they did, they just think about "rolling" or "my generation" which were hits created to appeal the mainstream, therefore the lyrics were kinda poor. But Limp Bizkit is way more than that, "build a bridge", "lean on me", "counterfeit", "underneath the gun", "the surrender", "let me down", just to name a few, listen to those lyrics and tell me LB sucks, but listen to them with a critic ear, not with the idea that its going to suck.
Who cares if they were used to be labeled as "cool"? Who cares if their fan base were 14 year old kids?
Who cares is some of their lyrics used to have no sense? I don't, I'm a loyal fan, I know they're far from being the best (musically speaking) but they've inspired me through the years and they keep inspiring me even nowadays. And nowadays I'm no longer that 14 year old boy, in fact I listen to bands that noone can argue they're not terrific (metallica, sonata arctica, blind guardian, stratovarius) and yet, I still love Limp Bizkit. Why? I don't know, I may be a "dumb limp bizkit fan". So be it.
If they're able to inspire one person, just one person, then that means all their work wass worth it. That's the goal of an artist after all, right? Because if thats not an artist then what is it? A man prodigy who's able to create the greatest rythms, tunes and lyrics a common man could never create? OK, that could be an artist. But what about someone who's able to create a really deep connection between his creation and a person, even if its just one single person.
So go ahead, say how much Limp Bizkit sucks and how Fred Durst is shit, you dont have to like it, but just don't find too weird the idea of someone still liking Limp Bizkit. Because what's really the difference between the best song from The Beatles and the worst song from Ashlee Simpson if they can both have the power to create the same deep feeling on different persons? We're not the ones to decide which music is good or bad, but to decide what's good for us.
That's what I like to hear. I'm not exactly the biggest LB fan in the world but I'm glad someone has had the balls to say this to all the haters in a constructed fashion without prejudice. You make yourself sound not like a LB fan but a fan of music that you like and letting everyone know that you don't care about how many people hate it. Kudos.

Just think about it.
