A band from New Jersey that's genre is "disputed" according to Wikipedia. What this means is that emos don't like to be described as "emo" and therefore deny any remotely accurate description the music they listen to, instead defiling other genres such as "punk", "rock" or even "metal".
I used to be one of those people who just laughed their ass off at how emo My Chemical Romance was, without even listening to them. Then I gave them a try and now I can assuredly say that their music is emotional, angsty, whiny and loud. The band has been known to describe their music as "violent, dangerous pop" which may be very accurate; the band is very self centered in their emotions which they whore out to the masses. The quintessential reality of the matter is that My Chemical Romance is very good at appealing to their massive audience, which requires that they be good at faking emotions.
Some people enjoy their music and others don't. But it all comes down to My Chemical Romance giving impressionable children a bandwagon to ride on and a bad name to people who they are trying to be like. Common misconceptions are "goth", "punk" and "hardcore". The zeitgeist of their bandwagon combined with the lack of intelligence of many of their younger fans can result in misunderstandings, misgivings and ultimately: misinfluences.

Often, when describes My Chemical Romance as "punk rock", "pop punk", or "alternative rock", they may be actually trying to make themselves sound cool while at the same time being "emotional" or "deep".
They may even be listening to the secret musical genre "emo".

Get the My Chemical Romancemug. My Chemical Romance could quite possibly be the most biggest steaming pile of human excrement to ever be fired from the ever powerful cannon that is the US Music Market. To say that MCR are not even slightly emo would be so laughably innacurate it would make Kim Jong Il roll over with guffaws, but never has it been so in your face.
If you ever disagree with Gerard Way's "Were not emo" sense of music, prepared to be bashed by his MCR followers who will through EVERYTHING at you to make you change your mind.
Kids, do yourself a favour, dont buy this 'not emo' crap, by some decent music.

Fan: my chemical romance are not emo are they?
Gerard: No totally not, i just have an obsession with death.
Other Guy: Isnt that the slightest bit emo?

"My Chemical Romance is emo!"
"No they're fucking not, get a life and don't judge people who you don't know and music you've never listened to."

Get the My Chemical Romancemug. Good but not perfect band that did one of the only perfectamundo songs ever 'House Of Wolves'. Kickass...
My Chemical Romance are usually thought to be emo but there is a bit of a pop/goth thing going on on some tracks.
(Welcome to the black parade, Blood, I'm not ok (I Promise) and Teenagers are also great.)

Because Gerard Way has an obsession with death emo's will listen to it while cutting themselves and crying, because it speaks to their souls (oh crap i'm getting all poetic)
Well, MCR is soooooo NOT emo. Why does anthing with a sad name get laballed emo?
NIN,FOB,Bullet For My Valentine etc...
