Line 60:
** Don't forget Mikey...
* [[Emo (Music)|Emo]]: Although the band would disagree, they do have alot in common with classic/post-harcore emo. While snobby punks will claim otherwise, they aren't really scene emo since they have to much of a [[Hardcore Punk]] influence to really be an emo pop band. In addition they were an important band in the early 2000's post-hardcore scene along with Thursday and [[AFI]].
* [[Everything's Deader With Zombies]]: "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville", which doubles as a [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Dawn of the Dead (Film)|Dawn of the Dead]]''.
* [[Fan Service]]: ''In spades.''
** [[Word of God]] says a lot of that (such as the "Frerard" gimmick) is done to piss people off.
Line 91:
{{quote| '''Gerard:''' Cawfee, cawfee, goin' to get cawfee!}}
* [[Myth Arc]]: ''The Black Parade''
* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Mikey Way wore 'em. Though when combined with Mikey's perpetual apathetic expression, comes off as [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]
* [[One -Woman Song]]: ''Helena''.
** "Mama" might also qualify.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Bob was this before leaving compared to the rest of the guys along with Mikey. With his departure, it seems Mikey's taken this over a little.
Line 102:
** Also happens in individual songs, like ''Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back'', which has one loud F-bomb in the middle.
* [[Porn Stache]]: Frank sports one sometimes. Makes him look like [[Super Mario Bros|Mario]].
* [[Prison Rape]]: "You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us In Prison", which seems to be a subversion of [[Double Standard Rape (Male On Male)]]. The laughter at the end is the singer going insane and threatening to burn down a hotel.
* [[Real Trailer Fake Movie]]: The basic theme of the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZudX66IBat8 I'm Not Okay (I Promise)]" video.
* [[Rock Opera]]: ''The Black Parade''.
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Gerard's hair, which is naturally a shade of brown.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Tended to be a staple of live shows. Became most prevalent during the 2007 Projekt Revolution tour.
* [[Shout -Out]]: A fair number of their songs contain references to other things.
** "Vampire Money" is gosh darn full of it. The song was written in response to the band's choice to not write a song for the ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' movies, [[David Bowie (Music)|David Bowie]] and Mark Bolan get a [[Title Drop|Name Drop]] and the opening is almost a perfect copy of "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet.
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: Averted. Gerard just has really bad posture, but he's far from villainous.
