Line 1: {{creator}}{{outdated}} [[File:tropes_page_7595.jpg\|frame]] An'''My Chemical Romance''' is an American rock band, often used (and mocked) as a prime example of the [[Emo Music\|Emo]] genre. However, the lead singer (and much of the band) would be rather annoyed by the comparison. Gerard Way, the lead singer, has been known to dislike the genre, calling emo "a pile of shit". They have on occasion referred to themselves as "what-else-you-got emo" and "violent pop". They have also been described as "vampire and zombie rock". Their music is best defined as hardcore, yet melodic, and in some instances anthemic. They formed in [[Joisey\|New Jersey]] around 2002 with their first song, Skylines and Turnstiles. The band claims that the theme and style of their music was initially inspired by their feelings during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The band has a notoriously bad [[Broken Base]] and a very Unpleasable Fanbase, rampant with [[Fan Dumb]] and [[Hate Dumb]]. Enter at your own risk. The band ''is'' very popular with [[Emo Teen\|Emo Teens]], despite [[Misaimed Fandom\|not wanting to be]]. Their latest album, ''Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys'' divided the fanbase, but is their most popular with everybody else, and made My Chemical Romance more respectable among the general population. Line 63 ⟶ 64: * [[Fan Service]]: ''In spades.'' ** [[Word of God]] says a lot of that (such as the "Frerard" gimmick) is done to piss people off. * [[Funny Afro]]: Ray Toro, [[Fan Nickname\|the Man with the Plan, the Torosaurus,]] has a positively EPIC afro. Over the years, his is the only hairstyle that has remained relatively constant, only darkening in color and deflating somewhat during [[The Black Parade]] and [[Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys\|Danger Days]]. It even has a (fake) [https://web.archive.org/web/20121113002418/http://raytorosfro.tumblr.com/ blog]. * [[Genki Girl]]: Gerard is a Western male example on stage. * [[The Glasses Gotta Go]]: Once again, Mikey Way, except ''he'' decided they had to go (and got Lasik).
