Am I a bad person for feeling like the newest Linkin Park album speaks for what I feel inside sometimes?

I'm often torn with music which is sometimes so personal (all music is personal, except pop, but that's supposed to be good for me right?). The song "Bleed it Out" and "The Little Things Give You Away," allow me to experience a freakish sense of catharsis which can sometimes have me screaming along with the lyrics when I hear it in the car...

My parents really don't know this side of me--most especially my father, but my mom doesn't know either to a lesser degree. They know about (and lament) my online activity (just deviantart is the problem one...), but I rarely tell them about the newer music which I like.

I just feel like Minutes to Midnight is just far too close to some of my own personal sentiments that I sometimes feel like a bad person for reading so much of my own life into the album...so much of my own life that I now feel like I shouldn't listen to it because my parents would disapprove.

I graduate next Friday!...not that you wanted or needed to know that...
