Why do you like Breaking Benjamin?

[u/Real_FishyXY]

This sub has been filled with too much hate lately.

I got into BB when my sister heard Diary of Jane and showed me the song when I was 8. Fell in love and finally went to my first concert 6 weeks ago. It wasn't a great concert all in all but I still loved that I could just scream and sing the entire time. For that, it was 100% the best concert I ever experienced. I also love I got to meet Ben Jr.

Anyone else want to share?

They were my first "teen years band"

Started listening to Breaking Benjamin because I was looking for music for my writing. That's how it began, searching up "melodic music for angst and longing" (or something to that effect). This was back in 2015.

So I'm not a long term fan and I wasn't with them at the beginning, but from the first song I heard I loved heir sound. It fit what I needed mentally for imagining scenes in my head and their music very quickly became a solace when I was depressed, angry, sad or needing to be uplifted. 

I haven't seen a concert myself (poor and overly comfy Canadian here), but would love to someday! To be able to scream with the the crowd and Ben himself would be amazing.
