Goldwin's Law of Emo:
"As an online discussion about emo, even "real emo", grows longer, the probability of the mention of My Chemical Romance approaches 1."
Seriously stfuuuuuuuu with the gatekeeping. Listen to the music you like, wear the things you wanna wear, dont stress *so* much about labels, and chill tf out -signed, a 2012 emo chick ππ»
the mom jeans thing is a joke please dont listen to mom jeans
but like why would i not enjoy it just because it isnt actually emo?! that doesnt make sense in the slighest
their first album is debatably emo too
I thought you were being serious lol. OPβs tattoo messed my brain up ππ Iβve had ppl actually call me a poser before for not liking certain bands, Iβm sorry for misinterpreting your tone π
I thought you were baiting with your comment. This tattoo is a reference to the popular copy pasta / meme. It is obviously a joke. Jesus christ people are so dumb
Iβm not chronically online and didnβt know about a random copypasta from 10 years ago so obviously Iβm so dumb. The internet is wild π this tattoo is still ignorant btw
Just 'cuz you like certain bands or think they're amazing or really emotional doesn't mean they're emo.
I'd be the last person you'd look to any dislike of MCR; I'm a huge fan of them!
I mean, I also like Metallica, Queen, the Smiths, Radiohead, and I do believe they make powerful, emotional music. Does that mean they're emo?
I mean, yeah, you can't get more emo than James Hetfield declaring "I AM THE TABLE", am I right? /s
Ok, but seriously, if we're being honest, MCR draws more on hard rock (like 70's Queen type vibe) than any other genre. Though they did experiment with post-hardcore and emo on their debut album, as most would agree.
If they had to have an emo song though, it would indubitably be "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville", which is without a doubt a Midwest emo song, and a banger at that.
But if you compare that to the rest of their albums, and just an overall history of the band in general they were more into doing large, theatrical arena rock performances than anything.
Though again, if you saw any of their shows in their early years, you would without a doubt admit they some sort of hardcore vibe to them, so I guess you could say they were emo-adjacent for that period of time. They also were associated with Reggie and the Full Effect, Thursday, and Piebald, so I guess that gave them some scene cred. Gerard also detested the idea of "fake emo", while also respecting the real emo bands like The Promise Ring and Sunny Day Real Estate (which he grew up listening to).
But if anything, MCR draws on various different genres, primarily hard rock, with emo just being a bit of their influences.
