In my defense, I was like 12 or something. I knew the song from my older brother and liked it. My English wasn't good enough to understand it completely but it spoke to me on an emotional level.

So the shock wasn't that I was a huge Limp Biskit fan. I can't name another song and had to look up the spelling writing the comment. The shock was how much older the song was than, well, than me. It spoke to how I felt towards my parent generation but it was basically written by my parent generation.
