My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance: Possible Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee My Chemical Romance first started making music in New Jersey in 2001. Later, the next year they made their first album called “I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love,” produced by Eyeball Records (AllMusic). The band ended up leaving that record company for Reprise Records the following year, and also created their second album “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (AllMusic).” In the upcoming year they had to replace the band’s drummer from Matt Pelissier to Bob Brayer (AllMusic). In 2005 My Chemical Romance was one of the opening acts for Green Day’s American Idiot tour (AllMusic).

Romance- Although it isn’t an original My Chemical Romance song, and it contains no words, I found the music to be very beautiful and hypnotic. Honey, This Mirror Isn’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us- This song is classic MCR,( extremely emo), but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Vampires Will Never Hurt You- I didn’t like the particular set-up, or the whispering featured at the end and the middle of the song. The lyrics weren’t my favorite either. Something just didn’t click for me. Drowning…

Ever since I was very young I've had a strong connection to music. My parents introduced me to many punk and alternative bands from a young age. I've always been a social outcast and generally a very secluded individual and this music really influenced my way of thinking. It wasn't until I discovered my favorite band that music really influenced me though. Since I've always been introverted I've often set aside societal norms and just been myself, but this didn't effect me drastically until…

nostalgia, heartbreak, hope, and self-loathing (Bailey 1). Music’s influence on the Emo culture can be seen from teens copying the fashion styles of bands such as My Chemical Romance with disheveled black dyed hair, red and black eye makeup, and black clothing. Not only do teens copy the styles of bands, but they worship the songs that certain bands such as My Chemical Romance and Hawthorne Heights have released. These bands have shaped not only the appearance of teens within this culture, but…

that the article kept making it an emphasis of only being white males. I guess I have subconsciously knew that it was more white males. Back when I was in middle school ‘emo’ was a thing or if not one of the things you could have been. There were those black students and some Hispanics (at least at that school) that were emo, but half of the time they were being made fun of by other students, and the white emo kids as well. I just find it interesting that even though that being emo is a…

Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” is a play that exhibits brutal accusations, human indecency, and a scramble for power. My Chemical Romance’s song, “Teenagers”, is about fitting in, taking a stand, and class struggle. There are numerous parallels between Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” and My Chemical Romance’s “Teenagers” including class struggle, fear, corruption of power, in and out groups, image, and human nature. Arthur Miller wrote “The Crucible” as a result of the fear of communism in…

“In my opinion, the future of mobile is the future of everything,” once said by Matt Galligan, co founder of Circia. Mobile applications have been around for quite some time now. They are disliked by some and enjoyed by others; however, applications are a tremendous influence on today 's generation. Although many Americans do not recognize, applications have had a significant impact in fitness and health, in teenagers, and in education. Applications are a significant influence in today 's…

I often hear people compliment me for turning out so “normal” despite my past. They make comments on how my life could have turned out so differently had I made different decisions when times got tough. Although I can look back now and think about what might have been, I never thought some of them were decisions at all. I did what I needed to so that I could survive. Not in the life or death kind of way, but in the way that preserved my self-worth, my psyche. In evaluating my psychological…

real life are true, as it takes place in 1453. The book is similar to our world because it takes place in our world. The characters are also very relatable to people we know in our everyday lives. One thing that mirrors our everyday life is the power in the church. In our society today, most people’s daily thoughts and actions are done in the thinking of the afterlife, much the same as the 1400’s. The characters are similar but very different than our modern day teenagers. Teenagers in the…
