Twitch streamer Kai Cenat's ongoing Mafiathon 3 event became the setting stage for a unique performance by the rock band Linkin Park, which recently saw a resurgence in popularity after the induction of its female vocalist, Emily Armstrong. Armstrong has succeeded Chester Bennington, the former lead vocalist who passed away in 2017.
A clip from the performance showcased Armstrong performing the band's iconic song, What I've Done at Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 3 house, with the entire area having been transformed specifically for Linkin Park's gig.
Fans have been going gaga ever since the performance took place during Kai Cenat's live broadcast. With the clip of the performance being uploaded to r/LivestreamFail, netizens are praising the variety of celebrities and popular figures that Kai Cenat has managed to bring onto his subathon's live broadcast:
Trending
"He's getting more acts than a Superbowl half time show," wrote u/morts73
"These streamers have insane pull somehow," wrote u/itsavibe-
"Jury duty for celebrities," wrote u/DoesntUnderstandJoke
On the other hand, the performance prompted some netizens to give their take on modern-day streaming and Kai Cenat's popularity:
"Man, at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man yet only being in my 30s lol... Modern mega-streaming feels like it follows a completely different playbook. It's all about scale, celebrity collabs, and manufactured viral moments rather than the organic community building that made early streaming special... Now it just feels like the Dubai of streaming, all flash and engineered spectacle with no substance underneath..." wrote u/OrganicHempJuice
"Why is this guy so popular? It's completely passed me by," wrote u/Sapceghost1
Many netizens seemingly disagreed with the induction of the new female lead, stating that the band was "not Linkin Park":
"Yea sorry this isn’t linkin park," wrote u/Japresto1991
"This is a Linkin park cover band," wrote u/Impressive_Ant_2368
"That's not linkin park," wrote u/ZackRobb
