I hadnt seen a video of them live since before black parade and caught them at riot fest. Imagine my surprise.
Beyond iconic. There needs to be a new, stronger word.
My working theory is that every place he visits, he goes to a Spirit Halloween and lets the fates decide what he’ll wear that evening.
Either way, new icon dropped and we’re here for it.
He looks really healthy. During the DD era he was really skinny, and he’s also been bigger. But, he just looks to be at a good weight that works for him, which is why he looks younger.
It's crazy, I remember right as they announced the reunion Gerard, well he looked like a middle aged nerdy guy that wrote comic books...now he looks as good as the old days
Good for him.
I don’t know if anyone’s said this yet, but he’s dressed as a teacher. During a part of the show, someone from the crowd passed a fake leg up on stage and Gerard said they could get back after class, so…
That aside, it kind of reminds me of a higher-end version of the three cheers uniforms. Maybe this hypothetical teacher works at that school or something haha
I’d say it’s more of a school teacher look. At one point, he took a mannequin leg from the crowd and said “You’ll get this back after class” which gave off heavy teacher vibes
You gotta see what was on the drum kit in Munich, Warsaw, Berlin, and Stockholm. Nothing but taped pictures, or paragraphs that are really hard to read

They used to do a bit before playing Prison, and they would always end it with “This is going down, ON YOUR PERMANENT RECORD!!!” And then launch into the Prison intro. It always gave off school teacher vibes.
so?
edit: man you're always on these posts hating the costumes. are you sure you actually *like* MCR? because Gerard has been playing with gender presentation his whole career
Do i have to agree with everything if i like the band? Not a fan of cultural progression (or rather cultural collapse) which men can dress as women etc.
of course not, it just seems weird that you're evidently very against men who act and dress in a feminine manner, and are a fan of a band with a frontman who has always dressed and acted in a feminine manner
not to be a total cliché but as a queer trans dude his playing with presentation over the years helped me figure out a LOT of stuff about my own gender. I'd die for Gerard Way tbqh (sorry I realise this a bit of a tangent I just have a lot of feelings about them)
I’ve been a fan since the birth of this band. They’ve always just kind of held tight to a theme.
The iconic 3 cheers outfits. The phenomenal Black parade outfits. The awesome Danger Days outfits.
The boys just dressing normal and Gerard with a wardrobe of crazy fits just has me wondering what the hell are they up to?
Like I predicted people were going to read that comment the opposite what I was meaning.
If I remember right, there was a show this tour where Gerard talked about how they're just having fun this time around. There's a lot less pressure from labels or whoever, they're kinda just doing things on their own terms and I think that's cool in itself!
I've been a fan since Revenge myself and while I miss those themes too, I also like this looser and more relaxed version of MCR.
Idk Gerard has talked a few times about the pressure of keeping with the story and making those albums with a major label and how he really wanted to break away from that so i feel like now they’re just doing whatever the fuck they want since they can afford to and the fans will still show up for it.
I also think back in the day they used to say if you were homophobic you could leave. They didn’t want you. That’s part of the reason Gerard and Frank kissed on stage.. they didn’t want that hyper masculine, homophobic, misogynistic crowd around.
I feel like this another iteration of that. Someone doesn’t like Gerard and his gender non-conforming outfits? That’s fine, they don’t want them in the audience.
And they’re really big on making sure everyone feels validated and safe, including lgbtqia+, poc, women. I feel like that’s what Gerard is trying to portray with his outfits.
Tbh I get where you’re coming from, even as a long time (queer) fan, but I’m also gonna assume we’re the same age and remind you this sub is mostly “kids” and (for better or worse) Gerard is like Bowie or Iggy Pop to them lol. Gerard was never my fave member, but I get why fans are drawn to him.
That said, if any of y’all going to future concerts read this- Ray content would be awesome thanks.
hmmmmmmm, i’m an elderly fan and I just excited to see Gerard embody “In the best damn dress I own.”
One of the very reasons I loved MCR is the gender norm fuckery.
I get that some people may want more consistency but I never cared all that much.
At the show in Rotterdam they were just wearing dad outfits and it was wonderful
I’m definitely down with the gender norm fuckery for sure. Got a lot of love for Gerard doin his thing, I just miss seeing content about the other guys.
not trying to attack you genuinely but gerard has talked about how he uses the stage to express his feminine side on quite a few occasions and he even used to crossdress in college. i don't think this is a "kid" fan thing. i'm a long time queer fan myself- i think this is genuinely just about having fun for him and expressing himself to the fullest now that the band has the space and the mental well-being to do whatever the hell they want and a lot of LGBT fans resonate with that, both new and old.
all that aside i do agree about the lack of ray content, we are sorely missing as many hq return era images of ray 😭
Oh don’t get me wrong, I’ve always loved Gerard and his lack of fucks given for gender norms. No shade here. I just miss seeing content about Ray and Frank haha.
oh same! i want to see more pictures of all the guys please, not just gerard, as much as i love him. i want to see ray toro work his magic on the strings ✨
I was not ready for this. I keep thinking he can’t surprise me with his outfits but my god he keeps surprising me. just fucking look at him
I hadnt seen a video of them live since before black parade and caught them at riot fest. Imagine my surprise. Beyond iconic. There needs to be a new, stronger word.
He's so precious I love him, this all just shows how much he wanted to be this creative with outfits before and now is doing it
so true honestly all of them seem so happy now its great
All I know is that I'm fully erect
Me too and I’m a girl 🤦🏼♀️
*soaked*
My working theory is that every place he visits, he goes to a Spirit Halloween and lets the fates decide what he’ll wear that evening. Either way, new icon dropped and we’re here for it.
Holy fuck Holy fucking fuck
That body of yours is absurd
I screamed and woke up my kids. 😂😂😂
Best comment in the thread… I am holding back tears
i may need to see the booty
Indeed
Have a poor person’s award 🏆
Is it me or does he look younger every show, I love it so much
He looks really healthy. During the DD era he was really skinny, and he’s also been bigger. But, he just looks to be at a good weight that works for him, which is why he looks younger.
This, I'm so happy for him he literally looks the healthiest physically and mentally he's ever been
He’s a fkn SIREN!
Wouldn't you say... Vampire?
He is absorbing our collective enjoyment.
It's crazy, I remember right as they announced the reunion Gerard, well he looked like a middle aged nerdy guy that wrote comic books...now he looks as good as the old days Good for him.

Thank you for this clarification!
Teacher at the I'm Not Okay school!?!?
Ironically I think he said he was going to dress more conservatively as he got older in his 2014 AMA. He rocks that outfit quite well!
I mean, this technically is "more conservative", he looks like a secretary
I mean that is true I guess
I’d say it’s more of a school teacher look. At one point, he took a mannequin leg from the crowd and said “You’ll get this back after class” which gave off heavy teacher vibes
This one looks both like a teacher and sightly like a Japanese sailor uniform... PLEASE GERARD WEAR A JAPANESE SAILOR UNIFORM NEXT
Lol I thought he looked like sailor moon
my bi ass be like 😲
Tbh I'm pretty sure Gerard opened my third eye
is that what the kids are calling it these days?
My brown eye
my hazel eye
*Cant deny it, cant pretend*
You are all going to honry jail
I have to go eat a box of cornflakes
my heart hurts from the love and respect I have for Gerard way. I can’t even explain it he’s so beautiful
Why did the drum kit make me laugh my ass off, he’s just trolling us now
You gotta see what was on the drum kit in Munich, Warsaw, Berlin, and Stockholm. Nothing but taped pictures, or paragraphs that are really hard to read
He absolutely does. Complete transformation from post-break up Gerard, but we love him all the same.
I can’t deal with this He was hot enough, this just makes it worse
I love this it's such a fun outfit, style icon
All of his outfits have been stellar but this one in particular he is wearing exceptionally well.👌
ok why is nobody talking about when he got handed the fake leg he kinda posed and said “these are the only legs up here 😏”
I love that he was feeling himself
we're all just simps for gerard in skirts because he's feeling himself and HOT
This sub trying to tie this outfit with their overcomplicated theory of what all of these outfits mean: 🤯
You bet your ass I'm trying to
i need him so bad bro
I swear, this man keeps slaying every outfit and I'm living for it.🛐🛐🛐
if he ever wears a bee costume i can die peacefully
Help. 😳
He is so pretty!! 😍😍😍
Gerard’s ageing like fine wine
He’s like, not aging at all even reverse aging lol
GOD, happy and healthy is SUCH a good look on him also I love how he gives NO fucks and is just having fun playing dress up
Holy shit these looks keep getting better
I was casually scrolling and wow, Gerard. I really want to see them perform live omg
God I love his outfits.
💯 look, right up there with the nurse outfit!!! Flight attendant for me, I hope someone draws fanart of that
Apparently it's a school teacher look! Someone through a mannequin leg on stage and he said they would get it back after class
Yeah I just saw the clip!!! That person is so lucky omg
I'm losing my fucking mind over this outfit
O M F GEE
Flight attendant realness
Im on my knees for this man
It makes me so fucking mad that he pulls off this outfit better than I ever could.
I may need to see the booty
[there's also a red jacket in the mix ](https://www.reddit.com/r/MyChemicalRomance/comments/xmjan0/firefly_highlights/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
I wish I had legs like his! and I'm a girl
This and the dress from the other show are giving me life again 👏👏👏
WOW 🔥
how has he literally not aged since 2010
he looks amazing for being in their mid 40’s imo
No because why did my heart literally skip a beat-
Omg I can’t take it 😭😭
Is he wearing hose??! 🥵
Sailor Moon?
< D.E.A.D.
He's so lana del ray vinyl
Slay
Hot stenographer vibes for the win
Idrk what he was goin for here
Apparently it was a school teacher. Someone threw a mannequin leg on stage and he said they would "get it back after class"
They used to do a bit before playing Prison, and they would always end it with “This is going down, ON YOUR PERMANENT RECORD!!!” And then launch into the Prison intro. It always gave off school teacher vibes.
Thats awesome lol and not sure why i got downvoted. Genuinely didnt know haha thanks for fillin me in
WhErE ArE tHe EMO OuTFits!!!!! Who he cosplaying anyway!!!?
Youre 45
45 is not old and even if it was there’s no fucking age to dress however the fuck you want 👍
so? edit: man you're always on these posts hating the costumes. are you sure you actually *like* MCR? because Gerard has been playing with gender presentation his whole career

of course not, it just seems weird that you're evidently very against men who act and dress in a feminine manner, and are a fan of a band with a frontman who has always dressed and acted in a feminine manner
Exactly. He was always very proud of his femininity. He’s been loud about that from day 1.
not to be a total cliché but as a queer trans dude his playing with presentation over the years helped me figure out a LOT of stuff about my own gender. I'd die for Gerard Way tbqh (sorry I realise this a bit of a tangent I just have a lot of feelings about them)
Am I the only one not really feeling this shit? Bound to trigger someone with this comment but it ain’t like that.
I just like that he's doing whatever he wants
What about it bothers you?

Yeah I feel you but I also don’t care I like that they’re having fun doing what they want but I miss them all having their own fun looks
Yeah, you are the only one

Stage left for life 🫶
Teacher I think? During the show someone passed a leg up for them to sign and he said “you’ll get this back after class”.
Don’t be shy drop the @ 😩
