Why My Chemical Romance is NOT a suicide cult!!!!!!

This video is an ultimate collection of clips proving that My Chemical Romance do not want everyone to kill themselves and are not promoting self harm in their lyrics!!!

In May 2008 the Daily Mail wrote two articles called "Why no child is safe from the sinister cult of emo" and "Girl, 13, hangs herself after becoming obsessed with Emo 'suicide cult' rock band" (My Chemical Romance), after Hannah Bond, a 13 year old girl, killed herself. She classed herself as an emo and was a fan of My Chemical Romance.

They said that emo "links death with glamour" and that "Emo fans wear dark clothes, practise self-harm and listen to 'suicide cult' rock bands". This is a complete generalisation and a very stereotypical view that shows no research went into really finding out about them. They also said that "One of the foremost of these 'suicide cult' bands is My Chemical Romance"

First off, My Chemical Romance has ALWAYS denied being emo and are completely against self harm and suicide. In fact they really want to help you and save your life if you are feeling depressed.

The Daily Mail also wrote that when Hannah was discovered with cuts on her arms "she told [her parents] she'd inflicted the wounds herself and that it was part of an emo 'initiation ceremony'". I have never ever heard of this before - an emo initiation ceremony?????

They also (ignorantly) said that "the 'black parade' is a place where emos believe they will go when they die". This is ridiculous. The Black Parade is the name of My Chemical Romance's 3rd album. It is not emo heaven. They do not know what they are talking about.

I personally believe that many people who are already depressed/suicidal/have tendancies to self harm, may be attracted to My Chemical Romance because, yes, their lyrics do talk about death. But MCR cannot be blamed for these people's problems. They must already have things going on in their life that are making them feel like this - music often HELPS people to cope when they have issues to deal with.

I do not own any of the clips but I have only taken small sections, so I hope no one is offended by this.

Our fucking 'emo' band you ignorants..

Frank: ''Oh man, we're here to save kids lives''

*I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone*

Gerard: ''This band has a way of saving lives..''

Frank: ''We're definetly a band that wants to save your life''

*MCR saved my life* Gerard: That's the fucking real point of all this

Gerard: ''Living is very important..'' -''Nothing is worth hurting yourself over, nothing is worth taking your life over, do you understand?''

[TheHappyGunsling]

Funny how they say this band promotes suicide. Well... let's just say I'd be long gone if it weren't for MCR.

I FUCKING HATE THE DAILY MAIL. did you SEE what they wrote?! did you SEE it? I literally wanted to punch the screen and whoever wrote that. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA WHO MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ARE OR WHAT THEY DO. Just because they write an album about death, (NOT SUICIDE) instead of love, they're somehow evil?! Omfg. I so wish I knew about that march that they did in London. I would have been right at the fucking front
