My Chemical Romance- a talented band whose music doesn't need to be put into some lame category to make it easier for people to recognise.
The style of music they play varies from song to song- both in the way they sound and the subject matter.
They're not some self pitying bunch of losers who make up songs about death and chaos because their dark t-shirts got put in with the white wash.
Their lyrics focus on the real world, using metaphors to represent personal situations and experiences, and to comment on issues like violence and depression, although the songs themselves aren't depressing. For those who are not into the lyrics- listen to the great quality of the vocals, the song structure and the instrumentals- they are fantastic just by themselves.
Now- i have a few bones to pick.
The band have recently been on MTV- but it doesn't make them sellouts- it just means that they've been recognised by a wider audience as their fanbase gets bigger. I mean what are they supposed to do- tell all their fans not to talk about them and to keep it "hush hush"??? I really think that people shouldn't dismiss them because they think it isn't "cool" to like music that other people know about. Music is music- and being a faithful fan from the very beginning- i say good for them.
And to all the people out there who say that the band are all a bunch of "gays"- i would like to ask you-
What the hell would it matter if they were all gay??
What does that have to do with good music??
Honestly if you are one of those people i say get over yourselves. It's the 21st century- time to accept it and get over this pissy little prejudice you have, if you please.
I'm equally disgusted with all the people who get into the band because they think that the members are "hot". Big deal. There are plenty of good looking guys out there- so before you get all hot and bothered over the band try listening to their music first.
Just like to finish by saying- if you don't like the band, then leave them alone. They don't need to be bagged out by some losers with too much time on their hands.
Spend less time saying negative things about bands you don't like and more time being positive about the ones you are into.
I tried to be different from my peers, not so much in to Halloween and shit, but thinking about real life horror. -Gerard Way, lead singer of My Chemical Romance.
