<description>i love mcr but im not emo i dont cut myself neither does gerard or any others in the band im not depressed while listening to their songs infact they make me even happier!but its kind of sad that you searched lyrics to a band you dont like just to find &#039;emo&#039; lyrics if you want to pick on an emo band try real emo like marilyn manson!but not mcr mcr have never done anything but try to help and im thankful fr that.plus you dont even know them and most of your article is mostly aimed at gerard why ? because your just trying to find a victim you sound more emo than mcr.gerards said he trys to help kids and was crying (bless him) because he saw a fan cutting and he said he was really worried so HE told them to stop!so hows he &#039;emo&#039; again?</description>

<description>This is clearly and ignorant and stupid tirade. You have no idea what you are talking about. You just frenzy on and on about things you&#039;ve heard said by other people. You are clearly a hopeless, desperate, bleak, and poignant follower. You are exactly the same as any person who call themselves &quot;emo&quot; when they really aren&#039;t just to get attention. Because that is all you are doing... you attempt to make yourself important by criticizing others just to get people to get on the bandwagon and follow you. You are clearly sad and alone to do these things. Because the truth is... if you hated these people so much, you would not spend so much time insulting them. If you are so worried about teen suicide, then why don&#039;t you try to get out and get to know and help some of these people. You say that these people should not act the way they do, when you have no idea why they do the things they do. How would you feel if you were raped, abused, or abandoned like some of us were? You would not be so quick to judge. You are obviously ignorant, unintelligent, lonesome and so miserable that you spent so much time so that ignorant people like you would band together and offend a whole group of people instead of just pointing out the obvious truth. Who are you to judge or to tell people how they should act. You are merely an insignificant piece of shit, scum on the bottom of every rejects shoe. You are loathed by all. Life is all about happiness and pain. It is normal for people to get depressed. You can&#039;t just blame it on a rock band because that&#039;s the only people you can think of. MCR is a great and powerful band, who has helped many people, including me. So next time you make a miserable and feeble endeavor to insult people to feel better about yourself, you should do the world a favor. Why don&#039;t you climb a skyscraper and throw yourself from it.  </description>

<description>Look I don&#039;t know who you are but obviously you don&#039;t know anything about us that listen to heavy metal and emo music. You need to get to know the people that your criticsing. Like me i am punk goth and i am a frequently go to church and I WORSHIP GOD. Do you have a problem with that? if you had the ball to put this stuff on the internet why don&#039;t you have the balls to talk to some of these people and try to lead them to God. Its not your place to be judging people like me. YOU DON&#039;T KNOW US. You criticsing doesn&#039;t mean anything thats why i bid you fare well. GET SOME JESUS!!!!!!! AND MY FRIEND SAYS PISS OFF!!!</description>

<description>what does all this prove, my friends?

nothing at all, well... only that we are too complicated to get along.  people don&#039;t always understand each other, and there&#039;s not really a point in getting upset about it.  if nobody Retro Chick doesn&#039;t understand you, and you don&#039;t understand her, go make a friend and then you can understand each other.  here on the internet, it is very difficult to connect.  people can say anything, and you have to agree or disagree.  if you are offended... WHY?  why should this page in an eternal electric book matter so much that you have to continue arguing about it?  i understand defending yourselves, but just leave it at that and go outside or something.

i would, but it&#039;s dark.  and rainy.

anyway folks, all i am really trying to say is that i am glad that Retro Chick posts what she wants to post, however offensive other people find it, and i am glad that people have other opinions and feel free to state them.  this is all wonderful, but there is no need to get upset about it because it doesn&#039;t really matter.</description>

<description>You IDIOT!! Without My Chemical Romance, you would be nothing. They DID make suicidal kids feel better(like me, for instance). You are a heartless, screwed up bitch. Burn in hell!
Think about the fans!</description>

<description>And I got news for all the My Chemical Romance fans with scissors to their wrists--you&#039;re right, no one gives a s**t about you. Think about it--you don&#039;t care about anybody else, so why would they waste their time caring about you?

Oh, and to that?
Fuck that.
I care A LOT about other people. My depression was serious, I wasn&#039;t using a pair of scissors, and I wasn&#039;t depressed because I&#039;m a stupid teenager with &quot;raging hormones&quot;
Have you ever been abused? I bet not. 
so before YOU tell ME how I&#039;M supposed to feel after that, go experience it for yourself.
I&#039;m SORRY that I didn&#039;t just spring back to life PERFECTLY fine but real life isn&#039;t like that.
So go live in your little fantasy world where nothing bad happens and no one feels sad and the rest of us will ACTUALLY care about people and the things that go on which is the opposite of what you accused us of.</description>

<description>&quot;I say, if all it takes is some asinine song lyrics and some black eyeliner to save your life, you probably weren&#039;t that suicidal anyways.&quot;

Totally ignorant.

It&#039;s not about the looks, it&#039;s not even always about the lyrics. It&#039;s about the feeling.
If music makes you feel good, makes you feel like you&#039;ve released something you feel better.
MCR makes me feel good. 
So does a lot of other music.
Stuff I bet even you like.
It depends on the person and you&#039;re an idiot if you just say &quot;well this person is what I think is emo so I hate them&quot; or whatever. 
People are different. People are not exactly the same. Yes some exaggerate. Yes some lie. Not all do. If their music is what makes you feel better then go for it listen!
They&#039;re doing what they love. Someones life is saved because the shit really is brought out. Have you ever sung your heart out? Sang something that made you cry because you UNDERSTOOD the song, the feelings behind it?
Well i have- and FYI it wasn&#039;t MCR, and I felt a whole lot better.
I wouldn&#039;t name a single band as my reason for being alive, but music IS.

People have no lives and no feeling anymore. God. Shit happens. 
People get hurt. Badly. 
People get better different ways.
So what if you don&#039;t like MCR, don&#039;t like hearing people say MCR helped them?
TOO DAMN BAD!</description>

<description>Hey.
Don&#039;t bash on other peoples&#039; favourite bands.
My Chemical Romance worked very hard to get where they are and they don&#039;t need people like you posting shit about them. 
I agree, kids shouldn&#039;t be saying &quot;Oh, wow. I didn&#039;t commit suicide because of MCR.&quot; because i really don&#039;t get how music can destroy all plans of suicide. I really don&#039;t.

Some people who cut themselves don&#039;t WANT to die.
I KNOW someone who cuts... but you see, he has suffered severe violence from his parents and getting bashed at school. 
Apart from that fact, he&#039;s really a happy teen. So don&#039;t judge a book by it&#039;s cover.

And those kids who cut and talk freely about it are pathetic. Really. I love bands like MCR... but i don&#039;t fucking cut. So what the HELL? Just because we like the sound of their music, doesn&#039;t mean we&#039;ll go cut ourselves publicly and cry in a corner. Jeez. That&#039;s bullshit.

Hey, a word for those wanting to commit suicide... you&#039;re fucking selfish. If you kill yourself, that&#039;s just you being fucking weak. Like you&#039;re too much of a lazy ASS to dodge life&#039;s obstacles. Sorry, but i HAD to say it.</description>

<description>Wow, what an ignorant little bitch she is. She clearly has no idea what she is talking about. The tragic thing is that she probably does stuff like this all the time, just for the attention it brings her. But still, it is quite funny that she would spend that amount of time writing an article that is such utter bullshit. I&#039;m sure she thinks she&#039;s brilliant now, but I just think she has a total lack of intelligence. You don&#039;t have to love MCR, no one does if they don&#039;t want to, but at least try and accept other peoples musical tastes. And how she can even link this band to a subject like suicide is totally beyond me. In fact, let ME quote Gerard Way; &#039;We are a very anti-suicide band&#039;. Okay? Could he make it anymore glaringly fucking obvious for you? I don&#039;t know how many times this band have to repeat themselves before people listen to them. They aren&#039;t telling kids to go cut themselves, or kill themselves, or kill others, or wear dark eyeliner, or bleach their hair. A wide variety of people listen to MCR, so everybody should stop being so freaking stereotypical. And if the arrogant, moronic little arsehole that wrote that article is reading this, I suggest you go get a life. Okay?
My Chemical Romance do not support suicde, self harm or violence. They never have. They never will.</description>

<description>&quot;If my daughter talked like that Id slap the bitch up sideways&quot; -Billybob

Nice mouth for you too. If you think we&#039;re all fucked up teens, why are you wasting your time on the computer talking to us? Maybe you should get your ass off of the computer and get a better job so you can move out of you shitty trailor park.

We&#039;re going to be so much more than you ever were, so underestimate us all you want. You don&#039;t have to be jealous because you are not where you want to be.

This article is sick and discusting and the fact that she even calls herself a journalist makes her deserve a smack in the face.</description>

<description>This thread shows us that if you don&#039;t agree with someone under the age of 20, then you just need to get a fucking life. Apparently only those who agree with teenagers these days have lives. Excuse me, fucking lives.</description>

<description>Ok. I know people on here will probably hate me for this, but I personally love My Chemical Romance. To me they are a great band with alot of talent, BUT...thats just my opinion, so people wasting their time saying how horrible and shitty they are. come on! GET A FUCKING LIFE!Don&#039;t you have better things to do? 
And yes, the whole &#039;Im so emo, I cut so deep&#039; is a load of bullshit.
Emo doesnt exist to me, its just a bunch of losers who try to get attention, like others said up there^
Of course ive been labeled emo by retards in normal clothes, but that doesnt mean I am so called &#039;emo&#039;.
I just choose to dress in a way that I like to and express myself through...whats wrong with that?
And just because they are mcr fans and cut themselves doesnt mean that they are cutting for attention. (Im sure quite a few of them do, but not all of them)
What you said up there Retro Chick or whatever, was a waste of your time and totally uncalled for.
Keep your rude opinions to yourself.

what does early childhood have to do with adolescence?

&quot;Award-winning author&quot;?
you&#039;re an idiot.
and so is whomever awarded YOU anything.

you clearly know nothing of the band or their fans. please, for goodness sake, stick to what you know.

<description>You realize that &quot;emo&#039;s&quot; arent the only people that cut themselves for attention right? And that not all of them do it? When I was in high school, one of the captains of the football team, who dressed in Hollister and Abercrombie, and listened to radio hip-hop was taken to the guidence counselor every week because he cut himself horizonally. The only reason it is more publisized with the &quot;emo&quot; kids is because America is too afraid to admit that their upper class rich kids are just as fucked as the people that will actually have to work for something one day.</description>

<description>You make it seem as though all My Chemical Romance fans are pre-teens. That&#039;s not true at all. I just graduated from highschool and will soon be attending college; I&#039;m far past my pre-teen years. I also know many My Chemical Romance fans who are much older than me, so I wouldn&#039;t go so far as to place the fandom between the ages of 9 and 13.

I was completely appalled by the manner in which you discussed suicide. My best friend recently attempted suicide and came very close to dying. She was in a hospital for quite a while and then was placed in a mental institution. She was lucky to have survived. It was one of the most painful times of my life because I came so close to losing a person I care about more than anybody, and it wasn&#039;t from a natural cause of death, but rather self infliction. You have no idea how much it hurts to know that somebody you love could&#039;ve died because they hated themselves so deeply. Suicide is an extremely serious issue and is not something to joke around about.

I think it&#039;s great that everybody be entitled to his or her own opinion, but make sure your facts are straight and know your boundries.</description>
