'''''Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys''''' is the fourth studio album by [[My Chemical Romance]]. The concept of the album is based around the lives of the 'Fabulous Killjoys' with each band member posing as a different member. The Killjoys are a group of outlaws who are fighting against the evil corporation [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|Better Living Industries (BL/ind.)]] led by [[Grant Morrison|Korse]], in the year 2019. Their guide is pirate radio DJ Dr. Death Defying. A website for Better Living Idustries was launched in mid-November, betterlivingindustries.jp, featuring a mission statement, a report from the Zones and a merchandise store.
In terms of music, Danger Days is very much a [[Lighter and Softer|lighter and]] - wait, no, that doesn't quite fit. It's definitely less wangsty than previous MCR albums, even with the requisite [[Rock Opera Plot|rock opera]] [[Downer Ending|ending]], and while many tracks keep the anthemic feel of their previous works, they're infused with a straightforward [[Drives Like Crazy|high-octane]], [[More Dakka|raygun-laden]] [[Crazy Awesome|psychotronic enthusiasm]] that has even managed to win over a somewhat-vocal portion of the band's previous hatedom.
Line 14:
* Kobra Kid: Mikey Way
{{tropelist}}
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: Many are quick to note a [[Continuity Snarl]] or two between the album and the events in the videos, the most obvious being {{spoiler|Jet Star and Kobra Kid being reported as dead}} in "Jet Star and Kobra Kid" on the album and {{spoiler|the Killjoys possibly dying}} in the video for "SING". It all depends on how you interpret all the information gathered together, whether or not everything happens in one timeline.
** Or, possibly, whether the villains are using stun bolts.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: We ''have'' to assume this is the only way to drive out in the Zones.
** Or, possibly, that they were entertaining the little girl. [[Good Is Dumb|Kids ''love'' dangerous stuff.]]
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|The whole Sing video, though especially Fun Ghoul. He's like the [[The Lord of the Rings|Boromir]] of the group!}}
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Most of the band members have done this for the album.
* [[Elite Mooks]]: The Draculoids.
Line 106 ⟶ 105:
* [[Shout-Out]]: The Na Na Na video shows a skeleton half-buried in the desert wearing a [[The Black Parade|Black Parade jacket.]] [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|Gerard Way's personal Black Parade jacket.]]
** Also, there is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it [[Shout-Out]] to [[The Kids Are Alright]] in "Vampire Money."

** "Vampire Money" begins with a roll call, similar to the one at the beginning of Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz".
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: the sentiment of a lot of fans (especially on LJ) in response to the "shenanigans" the band is doing before the release of the 4th album, directed towards both the band and the fans who want to actually participate in the shenanigans.
