==The Last Black Parade Show==
==Era?==
On the concert in Mexico city(October 7) Gerard said that the concert was the last show they were going to play as The Black Parade. He also said that for this reason the concert in Mexico City was filmed, and at the entrance of the venue there were some warnings that said the show was going to be filmed for a future release. I think this should be added. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/189.179.254.94|189.179.254.94]] ([[User talk:189.179.254.94|talk]]) 06:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

How can a band formed in 2 have ested eras? An era suggest a significant period of time. I suggest we change "or progress or growth. How the band has progressed from album to album (all two of them, plus a hinted-at forthcoming album).
the current image Mcratmarysville.JPG i think needs to be changed, the lights in the image makes it a bit hard to see mcr at first

Someone changed it so it says "My Chemical Romance, often shortened to fucking wankers"
But knowing wikipedia it'll probably be fixed by the time I finish typing this ;)

He never truly left the band and Gerard stated [http://www.mychemicalromance.com/news#node_252 on the main website] that he is only on a break which never meant he left.

Hmm, if I apply your logic to every other significant article in Wikipedia, there would be better off no Wikipedia.

== My Cradle of Guns n' Roses ==
 
In their song Welcome to the black parade the beginning it star with piano, playing th exact same notes of the song of Cradle of Filth, Suicide and other Comforts.
Their bride and last chorus is very alike as the last part of November's Rain from Guns n' Roses, but not as alike as with Cradle of Filth's piano part
:If it's unsourced we can't add it. Personally, I've noticed distinct similarites between "The End." and "[[Five Years (David Bowie song)|Five Years]]" by [[David Bowie]], from the landmark album [[The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars]], but I haven't got a source for it. --[[User:Jamdav86|Jamdav86]] 20:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:I've seen many similarities between the entire album and Ziggy, but I don't know whether similarities would be stupid unless spoken about by the band itself. For isntance, there is an interview that says they are aware "Teenagers" sounds quite like [[T Rex]], but that they only found out about this after writing the song.There are other examples, for isntance [[del Amritri]], and I think the list would be eventually endless. [[User:Alienpmk|Alienpmk]] 08:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 
just the first three notes, and its played slower, things like that happen all the time in muse, i dont think its copyright or anything like that it happens with all music. as for the david bowies thing, ive noticed that too. they play that song at shows before they start, know why? cuz its a huge influence, like queen and the beatles, u can hear MCR's influences in there music i think its very cool.
 
:The opening piano is actually an intepretation of Pachelbel's Canon. It has been used by numerous artists in numerous songs and is in no way a unique feature to any band or song in particular. In fact the entire "Welcome to the Black Parade" song is based upon Pachelbel's Canon.
 
:Referenced here as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popular_songs_based_on_classical_music scroll to the bottom. --[[User:204.16.145.253|204.16.145.253]] 20:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Why? so you can say how it's gay and emo? Because it was locked because people were doing that. No offence. [[User:Zazaban|Zazaban]] 09:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 
(from someone else...) I believe we should leave it to some form of authority on the staff to fix current errors. For one, MCR (see the twelfth "source" at the bottom) did NOT win worst band or villan of the year, that was George Bush, and Panic! at the disco. Would the WikiTeam please check that?
 
Actually, the source does not provide the information about worst band or villain of the year, that is because the information was found in an issue of kerrang! magazine.

== Genre ==
 
Some time ago I've added "[[My_Chemical_Romance#Musical_style_and_influences|Disputed subgenres]]" to the infobox. It got deleted by [[User:WesleyDodds|WesleyDodds]]. All album articles contain "Disputed subgenres" as genre so it would be consistent to put in this article as well. I think it would clarify that this band is not merely [[alternative rock]] and that they are hard to categorize. This way people might be less eager to change the genre (resulting in less genre editing/reverting). If it's not encyclopedic enough to be in the MCR article then it shouldn't be stated as genre in the album articles either. Any opinions? (In the archives there are some discussions resulting in a consensus on this... what happened with that?)
On Myspace, MCR was reffered to as Metal/Rock/Post-Hardcore, just for your information.

:They're largely influenced by emo bands (and other rock bands that are known for influencing emo), their fanbase is largely within the emo scene, and their sound most resembles current popular emo bands.

It's in [[My_Chemical_Romance#Musical_style_and_influences|Disputed subgenres]]. I think it's a good thing the infobox is not genre laden and that a fairly generic genre is used (that's how the musical artist infobox should be used like according to [[Template:Infobox_musical_artist]]) But my point is: Shouldn't there be a reference to the "Disputed subgenres" part of the article in the infobox? I'll put it up there...
I feel that an encyclopoedia should at least be uniform, and in keeping with that uniformity one should refer to the page on post-hardcore before labelling MCR as being so. With reference to this page, it is obvious that MCR bear none of the hallmarks of said genre. As much as MCR fans would not want to admit, MCR are a pop-punk band, simple as that. They play pop songs with a punk aesthetic. Whatever abstraction of the term "post-hardcore" is being bandied around today is a falsehood - what characteristics do MCR share with the likes of Fugazi or Drive Like Jehu? None.[[User:Jaworski716|Jaworski716]] 04:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)jaworski716

They got the pop punk sound so I'm gonna add pop punk to their current genre. - [[Arranox]]
Sound like MCR? Subtle forms of tension and release? Social awareness? DIY punk ethic? I don't think so. MCR are about as DIY as getting a workman in to do the job for you. No tension and . (UTC)

Not that I really care either way, but you contradict yourself in an attempt to distance them from '''with a punk aesthetic'''.''", and then you came back and said, "''DIY punk ethic? I don't way of the article, if the band claim to be "Post-hardcore" on their MySpace website then that should be noted. In the post-hardcore article on here, bands such as Thursday, From First To Last, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, etc are also listed as "post-hardcore" bands, this group are not a thousand miles away from them. - [[User:Deathrocker|Deathrocker]] 13:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 
Well, judging by some comments left throughout the talk pages and archives, we need a source that we can trust, but who's to say which websites we can trust, the band who define their music as "Rock" or "Alternative" is perfectly fine. But seriously, everyone's over dispute about MCR's genre, the links that each and every other person source us with basically say the same thing, alternative, emo, rock, pop-punk etc. So why don't you people understand that until we some how all agree on it, that the genre will probably never be sorted out.
Pop punk is, in my opinion, pop songs played with a punk aesthetic. That doesn't mean the way the band looks. It's the quality of the sound. And DIY punk ethic stands on it's own.
What are we going to do with the genre?
Which website can we trust? [[User:Blkeddie!|Blkeddie!]] 01:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 
The new york times calls them glam rock-
I don't have a bias about the band. I just read up a lot on musical genre's, and post-hardcore is one that I read up on a lot. And from what I've gleaned, MCR have no discernable post-hardcore characteristics.

== MCR WORKS ON NEW ALBUM ==
And since when have myspace pages been reputable source of information? Don Caballero swear blind they aren't math-rock, even though they're seen by many to be the very definition of the genre. The point is, it looks a lot more like you have an agenda. You seem desperate to call them post-hardcore, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. There are a lot more independent sources calling them pop-punk than there are calling them post-hardcore.

2nd/3rd generation post-hardcore. With the exception of I'm Not Okay, they really don't sound much like Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Simple Plan etc. Nor do they sound like Fugazi.

Wow, it's soon, but I'm enjoying the good news, I just hope theres another source to really, truly confirm it. They're rushing, it's too fast, i hope it will get released mid next year, after the Black Parade hype, it would be two years in between every album, and i reckon that's a good thing.

And just so you know, about another billion believe they make good music, but you wont see many of em' commenting on articles and new information that involves them. Don't get me wrong, you will see those people, but not as many as the people who criticize them.
Their album was artistic, but Gerard does go a bit far, I forgot what he said, but it was something along the lines of "Artistically Ambitious"?
There's no need for criticism, if you don't like them, shut up and don't vandalise... unless of course you're someone important. I'm not saying you're not important, I mean important enough to be quoted from xD. [[User:Blkeddie!|Blkeddie!]] 14:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I feel what is currently in the article "...an American alternative rock band....The genre of music the band plays is highly debated, but they generally combine elements of post-hardcore, punk rock, screamo, and pop punk."

:They've writen new music but don't plan on getting into the studio until mid-2008.

:Though that may be true; they may be taking a break, sources indicate that they're writing a new album. This is of note. That doesn't say how long it is until they get into the studio or release the album. As a musician, or any celebrity, your perception of a "break" can mean anything from 2 weeks off. I heard about a pop-star recently who decided to just travle, have fun and relax for 6 months after touring heavily and before stepping into the studio for her (or maybe his) next studio album, and some people literally thought he/she had died, because of no exposure.

==My Chemical Romance's AKAs?==
Also: There is a difference between "ethic" and "aesthetic". I suggest you look them up if you think that it's a contradiction for MCR to play pop rock with a punk aesthetic and not have a punk ethic. Good Charlotte definitely have a punk aesthetic, but most certainly don't have a punk ethic. --[[User:SwitChar|Switch]] 06:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 
"My Chemical Romance (also known as My Chem, MCR and The Black Parade)"
Who gives a fuck?! MCR sucks...My cock.
 
My Chemical Romance isn't also known as 'The Black Parade'. I think some people got this confused when they saw the tour for MCR. If someone could change this, I think they should state that 'The Black Parade' was only used for the tour as MCR's alter-ego while they sang the whole album. They would then change everything (banners, ect.) to MCR and perform other songs from Bullets and Three Cheers.

==Action Figures==
Uh, I don't know about you, but where I live, the main fanbase of MCR is preteen and teenage girls. Most of them also are huge fans of Good Charlotte and Simple Plan. That doesn't mean they are emo, but they aren't exactly all like, hardcore rock, you know. Definitely not pop punk. Probably just pop.
 
Please excuse my horrible wiki-editing for this topic, but in the "mainstream breakthough" section it would be nice if someone would add as a sidenote that the band had action figures released in December 2005 by SEG Toys. I'm horrible with sourcing so the link is: www(dot)mtv(dot)com/news/articles/1513784/20051115/my_chemical_romance.jhtml
No. They are not Pop-Punk. Good Charlotte is not pop-punk. Good Charlotte is pop. Green Day would be an example of Pop-Punk. I'd say MCR are in general a rock band.[[User:70.36.199.0|70.36.199.0]] 04:40, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

== Vandalism ==
Not listing any genre I don't feel is an acceptable solution to the genre problem. Why don't we just have something along the lines of "My Chemical Romance displays attributes of many genres including pop-punk, emo, and post-hardcore." Sometimes bands can't truly be fit into a genre, but many can agree that they at least show characteristics of certain genres for sure. Just a thought that might finally solve this problem...Additionally, I agree with the people saying that regardless of what the band hates to call themself, if they truly are that musical genre, wikipedia should report the true genre, not what the band wants. It's like a fool saying he doesn't like to be called a fool, when in fact, he clearly is. --[[User:Bouyeeze|Bouyeeze]] 04:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

3. There is way too much information on the present state of the band (who they are touring with, when are they touring, etc.)
4. The article is not arranged correctly, some subjects need their own headlines (there should be a biography section, present info/post debut, music video section, etc.)

They're currently specified as a "punk rock" band, which, whatever your opinion of them, is completely erroneous. Pop-punk, perhaps... certainly more closely akin to Green Day than bands like NoFX or The Ramones.
:You want them listed as pop-punk because they're more similar to a generic (pop-)rock band than to two pop-punk bands? Kaaay. 3rd-gen pop-punk sounds good to me, as does post-hardcore if a little of a stretch. Same with the more generic pop-rock. They're still emo though. Slipknot can say they're not nu-metal all they want, big deal.

Sorry buddy but their past musical styles are heavily identical to [[emo music]]. So yes, one of their genres are [[emo]]. Even if they say they aren't NOW, they once were. or there might even be traces of [[emo]] in their music. SO look, untill MotorHead's genre gets changes to simply [[rock n roll]] then they are [[emo]].

Whether they are still emo is too much of a controversial topic to be put here, but when a band are considered "emo" by a large majority of their fanbase, by most of their detractors, by the pop media, and by themselves at one point, then they are or were incontrovertibly "emo".

All of My Chemical Romance's subgenres should have a reliable source and if not you can perhaps say which ones aren't and if a reliable source cannot be found then it should be deleted.

I'm no fan of MCR, quite the opposite, but the flak they get is quite undeserved. Sure, they appeal to the faux-angst ridden teens of the West, but who cares? They're emo as hell, just leave them be. They'll grow out of it.

This really should be solved so that EVERYONE agrees. Just because MCR says they aren't emo doesn't mean they're not. Many portray them as being an emo band. One thing that really confuses me, though, is that in the article it says the frontman stated that MCR is emo, but then later it says he stated that they were never emo and that emo is "a pile of shit". So for now emo should be listed as one of their genres along with one or two more subgenres to clarify what exactly they are, like metal or hardcore or something like that.

Someone stated that Gerard and Mikey are half-brothers. Until this can be proven, which I highly doubt it can be, it shouldn't be on the page. I removed it.
 
They slam power chords in 8th notes. They wear black clothes and mascara. Their singer has a whiney voice. They sing about pain. A lot. If that's not emo, what is?

But, as the article states, they do not want to be called emo, they reject the genre. So why should we call them emo if they do not want to be? [[User:Riverpeopleinvasion|Riverpeopleinvasion]] ([[User talk:Riverpeopleinvasion|talk]]) 11:02, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
I believe they are half brothers on their father's side, hence the same last name. Also on the ''Life on the Murder Scene'' DVD it shows Gerard's mother, and the lable says "Gerard's Mother" not "Mickey and Gerard's Mother". ` [[User:Lindsey8417|Lindsey8417]]
 
:Seriously, are we still not past this? Emo music is drab, slow acoustic guitar music where the guy is trying to find himself. Ironically, emo music and emo fashions are not actually synonymous with one another. They wear emo (or "scene") fashion, but that doesn't make them emo. Hell, Johnny Cash could be called emo on that premise (ignorning the fact that my sister calls him the first emo). If you listen to the music played by these guys, it's heavy alternative rock, with elements of cabaret rock, punk rock and grunge. What I find laughable is calling Franz Ferdinand alternative rock. They're New Wave alternative, a completely different genre altogether. Oh, and slamming power chords in 8ths doesn't quantify emo music, otherwise you could call Limp Bizkit emo, and I'm hoping we can agree that they're not. --[[User:Lincalinca|<span style="background:#392;font-size:10px;font:Century Gothic;color:#fff;padding:0 4px;">linca</span>]][[User talk:Lincalinca|<span style="background:#000;font-size:10px;font:Century Gothic;color:#392;padding:0 4px;">linca</span>]] 11:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Emo is a too poorly defined genre to call a band unless they identify themselves as such. [[Special:Contributions/24.46.98.142|24.46.98.142]] ([[User talk:24.46.98.142|talk]]) 23:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

:Well said, however, I believe as a genre is, it can be defined very accurately and astutely, however what muddies and blurs the line is misconceptions of what the term actually means, leading to confusion and many people being unclear as to what is and what is not emo. --[[User:Lincalinca|<span style="background:#392;font-size:10px;font:Century Gothic;color:#fff;padding:0 4px;">linca</span>]][[User talk:Lincalinca|<span style="background:#000;font-size:10px;font:Century Gothic;color:#392;padding:0 4px;">linca</span>]] 23:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I, personally being a fan of their music, do not think they are emo in any sense, but it seems the rest of the world lable them as emo possibly because of how they present themselves (the clothing and makeup).

:::No you don't, for the reasons given above; names of music genres are not proper nouns. [[User:Bucketheader|Bucketheader]] 16:37, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 
:::I agree. It is not a proper noun. It should be in lower case, "emo".
::"Emo" in the modern sense isn't a genre. Still, groups with high-pitched vocals, pop-punk or post-hardcore roots, bad fashion sense and dark/emotive lyrics are being labelled "emo" these days. Even [[Coheed & Cambria]]. But whatever, if everyone thinks MCR fit into some vague concept called "emo", then that they are.
 
Basically, in Wikipedia the genres aren't capitalised. Outside, probably, but not on Wikipedia. If you want that policy changed then there are better forums than this one to discuss that - perhaps [[WT:MOS]]? --[[User:Jamdav86|Jamdav86]] 08:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Why not just label it post-hardcore, people get pissed when you call it emo, but no one gives a fuck if you call it post hardcore, even tho they both grew out of the same thing, because post hardcore is basically just labeled a more melodic, less chaotic, less rough sounding, version of music based off hardcore, well, that's pretty much what they are.----SOAD_ROCKS
 
Who knew such trivial subjects can be discussed here? I don't know about everyone, but I like to capitalize every noun I write, regardless it being Proper or Common. LOL. I'm weird, and Bucketheader's generally correct. It's too late for me. --[[User:Iluvmesodou|Iluvmesodou]] 11:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Your right that post hardcore seems to piss people off less. Emo and post hardcore did spawn from the hard core punk scene, but since emo is now more associated with the slang usage than the musical usage, it tends to get confusing. Anyways, the point is, we should just keep the genre general at rock. Because we can all agree that they are indeed a rock band.-[[User:Lindsey8417|Lindsey8417]] 06:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Actual criticism could be found on reviews - having skimmed the album reviews we have links to on the album pages.

'''Melodic hardcore is a subgenre of hardcore punk. It is ''more melodic with less fury than traditional hardcore''. Melodic hardcore ''is not emo, nor pop punk, rather having an emphasis on melody'', nonetheless some bands ''share common scene origins as emo and pop punk bands'''''.

Now, that is PERFECT for MCR's genre; I mean, half of you say they're emo and half of you say they're pop-punk.
 
The band already had one song in guitar hero (that song being "Dead!") and with the recently released pack they now have three others. They are as follows:

1. This is How I Disappear
:: No. Not melodic hardcore at all. As the article states, '''Melodic hardcore is not emo or pop-punk'''. It's not an emo/pop-punk crossover genre. Because if it was, it probaly wouldn't be called hardcore. Melodic hardcore is hardcore punk with an emo/pop-punk influence. It isn't a perfect genre choice because MCR aren't hardcore punk. Yes, some of their songs are agressive, but that doesn't make them hardcore. [[User:Dwnsjane2|Dwnsjane2]] 06:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I made two changes to the article: one, I changed the statement about Projekt Revolution dates being annuonced in May. Uh...the tour is now over, so this statement is long outdated. More importantly, I fixed the statement about a "recording hiatus". MCR did not announce a recording hiatus...they haven't recorded since last July when they were recording the Black Parade. They just said they weren't going to be working on a new album for a while. The statement and wording were just confusing. Also, the reasons given for not recording (Gerard's marriage and wanting to spend time with family) were not the correct reason - they want to focus on their current touring, and they want to take time to re-evaluate the band. The wording about "2009 being the earliest if they're lucky" is also bad...2009 isn't even that long, given the size and length of the current tour for The Black Parade.

==Hairstyles?==
 
I'd like to know WHY the band's hairstyles during the 1995 Warped Tour are noteworthy, if they're going to be considered so by Wikipedia. I mean, they're musicians, not fashion models, so if any sort of history of their hairstyles is included in Wikipedia, there should probably be a reason for that. I don't see any history of Poison's hairstyles (and they were known for being a hair band!) on Wikipedia, so why MCR's?
 
--[[User:Hemightbesoup|Hemightbesoup]] 08:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 
:The band wasn't around in 1995... do you mean 2005? Anyway, it doesn't matter what's good for Poison; the context is MCR: if it is subject matter brought up by the group, a reporter or a common thread among fans, it ''may'' be noteworthy in the article. Poison were actually not as known for their hairstyles as MCR, as I understand it. The only bands I can think of who're "hair" bands, as you put it are [[A Flock of Seagulls]] and [[Split Enz]], both of which have detailed rationales as to their hairstyles (and general fashion for the latter).

No need to insult me, yes I know how to click refrences, but I don't trust absolute punk because forum members create the news not proffesiobals, and billboard said "Disenchanted" was supposed to be a single.
:Billboard was ''purported'' to have announced that Disenchanted was set to be the next single. There was never anything on their site (in any official capacity; i.e. only in their forums) that the song was to be, but someone took a forum entry and ran with it. Mama, on the other hand, is actually noted as its own entry (three times, no less) in the discography section.

== I brought you my bullets chnaged to post-hardcore ==
 
As far as I know, there is little dispute over the genre of "I brought you my bullets, You brough me your love", which many agree is post-hardcore.There's no big dispute over this like there is with the last two albums. So I'm asking for permission to remove "Disputed-Subgenres" on the "Bullet's" article and replacing it with post-hardcore. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.219.251.22|71.219.251.22]] ([[User talk:71.219.251.22|talk]]) 23:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:::If you call their music emo music, you don't know the genre then; that's all I can say. Their music is heavy rock with elements of punk rock in it (though since Matt Pelliser left and Bob Bryar joined, that seems to be dissipating, as punk is centralised around the drums). What a band calls themself is not always right, however it shouldn't be discounted from the encyclopedia page, as if they're wrong about their own kind of music, it implies either some sort of delusion of their own music, that ''others'' are miscategorising their music (don't refer to Robert Christgau for this, because he's almost always wrong at categorising the last 15 years worth of rock music). When it boils down to it, their music is heavy alternative rock, aka alternative metal. Noting "Alternative rock" as the group's musical style is not inaccurate for the article. --[[User:Lincalinca|<span style="background:#392;font-size:10px;font:Century Gothic;color:#fff;padding:0 4px;">linca</span>]][[User talk:Lincalinca|<span style="background:#000;font-size:10px;font:Century Gothic;color:#392;padding:0 4px;">linca</span>]] 02:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I listened to all those interviews in the above youtube link, and it gave some info about "Sister to Sleep". MCR was asked to contribute a song for the [[Freddy vs Jason soundrack]], so they wrote a song about sleep deprivation. But it didn't make the album because they didn't finish it in time.

So, I'm not sure if the main editors here thought that a more recent picture (or another reason I'm just not seeing) was worth using.

i think the criticism part of the article is rather unimprotant. Most of the criticism MCR is being givin is just crap. first of all just cuz they wear black does not mean they are "posing" to be gothic, they are not gothic, just cuz their appearal is black doesnt make them goth. blacks a color, anyone can wear it and not be goth, ur not goth just cuz u are wearing black. second, the part about "sexual realations" with the other band members is also false. i dont know about the rest of the band but i do know that Gerard and Frank are straight, anything they do with oter guys is just a "joke" and plus frank is engaged and gerard has a girlfriend, there is no "sexual/gay realations." and lastly MCR are not becoming "sellouts" yes they are very popular now but thats no gotten to there head.

Exactly. I try to explain what you just said to people, but they just think they're 'poseur' and whatever...they also think they're gay- MCR don't deserve any criticism. They're just human, anyway. They rock. Period. [[User:210.50.189.54|210.50.189.54]] 07:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

You have to have a nuetral pov on wikipedia..saying that MCR doesnt deserve criticism is very pov. If there are criticisms, they should be listed (and yes I say this as a huge fan). The point I was trying to make above was the criticism was too obscure to mention really, but I believe there should be a criticism section. My two cents...[[User:Kokiri kid|Kokiri kid]] 00:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

ok yeah on the DVD it does say "Gerards Mother" not "Gerards and Mikeys Mother," but yet they have the same last name. did it ever occur to you that maybe Gerard was born to the lady who was "Gerard's mother" on the DVD, hes last name still would be Way. then possibly they divorced or something soon after and then Gerards dad got remarried to another woman and had Mikey. that way Gerard and Mikey would still have the same last name but just different mothers. Now im not POSITIVE this happend but it would explain why they have the same last name yet mothers are differnt. - LemonxSmoothie

== Genre ==
 
MCR are here labeled as Alternative Rock. In my humble opinion, that label doesn't fit at all. It is a known fact that they are Emo, but many people are afraid to tell so. Well, they cannot be called 'Alternative Rock', that is a completely different genre (ex: bands like Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand...), but we cannot also call them 'Punk Rock', because they are not punks as well. I think the genres that fit better are Emo and Pop Punk, and that's all. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:ARTP26|ARTP26]] ([[User talk:ARTP26|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ARTP26|contribs]]) 12:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
not trying to get everyone all ticked off about the genre again, as it is an occuring argument. but i agree with what someone said earlier, their genre has nothing to do with the way they look. And that the genre cannot be decided based on YOUR opinion, the genre of a band is decided by the band and according to their label. I personally think that a genre should be left out on this page because the band has stated themselves that MCR sounds like: "nothing you have ever heard before." But if u feel that a genre is absolutly needed then you could just leave it as ROCK, as is it appears to be a struggle to agree on if they are emo or not, or you could just leave it as ALTERNATIVE, as some of you say they are pop-punk, emo, post-hardcore. but it would be most helpful if you would cite sources to their genre. I have found a genre that seems to fit MCR, this coming from Napster: "Based in New Jersey, My Chemical Romance is an alternative pop/rock and punk-pop band that has been compared to Thursday... while many of their songs are loud, fast, hyper, and aggressive, My Chemical Romance's work also tends to be melodic and pop-minded.... combined punk-pop's musical agression with introspective, confessional lyrics." so lets just leave out the whole emo thing, though i think their lyrics have some "emo elements", but we all cant seem to argree so just leave it out. - Lemonxsmoothie
 
:To be blunt, because I am tired of this, your humble opinion does not matter. Rude as it may seem, this issue has long since been resolved, as seen by the archives and by the message at the top of this page clearly stating NOT to bring up whether the band is emo or not, unless you have a reliable source. Your opinion is not a source at all.[[User:Dizzydark|Dizzydark]] ([[User talk:Dizzydark|talk]]) 04:21, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

And as well as telling people to leave if they dont listen to MCR, you tell people to stop listening to MCR if they have a problem with them being emo!
I've already mentioned having a NPOV above.
Now - in response to the emo 'argument' you posed. There is more evidence to suggest MCR are a different genre of music, not emo. We're using encyclopedic views to decide, what are you using?
In a site like Wikipedia, if everyone got to put their opinions in the article and have the considered factual, it would be a fact that MCR are dead gay zombies. As for your statement that "It's up to the band to decide what they want to be called", they have already severed any links with being emo.
And dont try and accuse me of not being a fan either, because you'd be wrong.

oh my god......ok fine i deleted some of them...happy now?
and second....i didnt say non MCR fans to LEAVE....i just think its rather stupid that some ppl who state that they dont listen to the band are saying that "oh well MCR is diffenatly pot-hardcore, or w/e."
and i also didnt "accuse" you of not being an MCR fan.
and ummm.....i stated above where i got the info about MCR's genre also....why dont u just pay attiontion.....im not basing their genre on my opinions like everyone else seems to be.....i told u were i got that info from....Napster....if u didnt read that part....
wtf....your not very good at understanding info. r u? because most of what you had said was not what i ment by what i said above.
and also.... i dint say that MCR wasnt emo.... i know the band has made ref. to "emo elements"
but i know what i dont really care anymore....just keep on trashing up this article and this band......its sad.
and argue all you want about the genre and what not....
this USED to be an article people could go to to FIND INFORMATION....now its crap
 
== Album covers ==
:Actually, I'll have you look at the [http://music.yahoo.com/ar-309929---My-Chemical-Romance My Chemical Romance’s page on Yahoo! Music]. It identifies the band as emo (amongst other things). Or, go [http://www.mp3.com/my-chemical-romance/artists/489243/summary.html here, which also classifies them as emo]. So again, I have provided two respectable links that classify them as emo. --[[User:Electrified mocha chinchilla|<font color="Black">'''em'''</font>]][[User:Electrified mocha chinchilla/Esperanza|<font color="Green">'''c'''</font>]][[Exclamation mark|<font color="Black">'''!'''</font>]] [[Flying Spaghetti Monster|''<font color="red"> ╬ </font>'']] <sup>(<font color="black">[[User_talk:Electrified mocha chinchilla|t a l k]]</font>)</sup> 03:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 
It would be great to have again the covers for each album... in the bio or in the discography... it looked awesome. <br>
:Fans of MCR make the band sound like worship, haters obviously flame it. Just get people who have listened to the group and have done some research to write it. The emo music today obviously sounds NOTHING like its roots--does Hawthorne Heights sound like Rites of Spring, no; the emo today sounds nothing like this group in lyrics or musical composition. I wanted to clarify that once more. Whoever has labelled the group emo is obviously a scene kid or angry hater.
Could we put 'em? <br>

== GenrePost-Hardcore? ==
 
I would deff. say that Alternative rock can be labeled as MCR's genre, but they are so much more than just that. I deff. see some post-hardcore in there music. Not really so much pop-punk, but i can see post-hardcore more because they kind of took the hardcore style and made it into a more mainstream, alternative genre.
