My Chemical Romance is a band from
New Jersey, whom grew up on the same types of
music as your
parents. Social Distortion, KISS,
Queen, David Bowie, Iron Maiden, Twisted
Sister; things that were big in the times that they were kids. What makes them "emo" or "
goth"? Because they have a particular liking to the color black or morbid objects and themes?
Bullshit. That just makes them a tad dark, not "emo fags who whine about how their lives suck". If you say that, you're a dumbshit. Gerard himself, as have the rest of the band, have said numerous times that they aren't emo, nor
goth. If anything, if we were to label them, they would be violent pop or violent alternative
music.
Gerard and Bert are not dating, nor have they ever. In fact, they aren't even friends anymore. They are just two guys who met while playing and singing the things that they love. What makes them different from every other rock band? If you think that Twisted
Sister or KISS are "great rock bands", and think that My Chemical Romance is a "gay, fag-like band" because of the fact that they wear make up--then you're a
retard. Ever heard of HAIR METAL? Or SEEN the make up KISS wears!
Frank is not "gay for Gerard". He's engaged, for heaven's sake! Just because they give slight pecks-of-a-kiss does not make them a gay couple. It's for jokes and giggles, and for the fans because that's what they want. THAT, and it's a free country to be bisexual, so saying, "I would date Gerard," should be okay and not "offensive". But, same as before, with the make up and the hair metal statement; bands like KISS and such played on fans' very emotions like that, too. Watch a live preformance, or something.
Have you ever seen them live? I have. Gerard himself talks about this subject on why
people try to label them emo. They're doing what they love to do, play their own
music. Who cares if it's dark? "Good rock" and "punk" talks about getting shitfaced and having sex, the
government and death. Get over yourselves if you think they're emo. They're not. They're just guys doing what they love.
And, you know what? Listen to the "good" rock bands talk on interviews, and such. Listen to them and their theories about modern day rock bands. I've heard several about My Chemical Romance, and they were all good. GOOD! They don't have a problem with them, so why do you?
And, please. Don't say you want "their babies" or "to rape them" unless you're completely and utterly joking. It gets old, and I'm sure they hear it every day.
My Chemical Romance is not an emo band, but a group of guys doing what they love; playing
music. What makes them any different from the bands you grew up on? Not much. Maybe a tad more make up depending on if you were a fan of KISS or Twisted
Sister, or Scorpion, but that's about it. Get over yourselves. If you don't like them, don't listen to them.
"Be Yourself, Don't take anyone's shit and never let them take you alive..." Gerard Way.
"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old
girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene
politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this
music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what
music is about." Gerard Way.
