any parents that think mcr's lyrics are a bad influence on the kids, must not know they're kids very well. any one who thinks mcr's lyrics are telling you to kill yourself is an idiot.
i got in a fight with my music teacher about them. He was trying to tell the 2 mcr fans in our classroom that My Chemical Romance is "evil and satanic" and that he might write a letter to our parents suggesting that they take away our CDs. the most fucked thing he said was that "rap is more about life experiances than rock, and that mcr's music is just about getting high, having sex, and being with other men " he says he's seen the pics of the guys online with makeup and kissing and says it's unnatural and wrong . i told him he was a fucking homophobe yuppie and that mcr helps people not hurts them and then i quoted some stuff ... it was the most worthwhile dention i've ever had.
I agree with you on the lyrics thing. I know what I've taught my kids and I know that they are intelligent enough to realize that the songs are not intended to be taken literally. You know, if some kid told someone from MCR that they were going to commit suicide, or go shoot someone who's done them wrong, I doubt they'd encourage it. The way I see it, these songs are more about venting frustrations. Like how you get really pissed at someone and say you'd like to ring their neck, or put a bullet thru their head, but would never actually do it. You're just blowing off steam. The same with the suicide refernces. You have a crappy day and think you oughta go jump off a bridge or something. For most people it's a passing thought based on frustration. When those thoughts become prominent, and you are seriously considering it, you need to seek help. If this music makes someone think that dying is their only way out, then they have problems that have nothing to do with the words of a song.
As far as your music teacher goes, he needs to remove his head from his ass. He should try actually listening to something before he comments on it. I've listened to quite a bit of rap. It may have started out about life experiences, but nowday's most of it's about sex, drugs, and showing off your obnoxious fortune. LOL on your worthwile detention, sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself. Wish I would've had the nerve to do it when I was a teen.
OMG you're a parent? cool beans. |

I'm slowly effecting my friends because I turned one into a MCR fanatic. |

Posts: 215 | September 30th, 2005 at 04:45pm My mom likes Helena and that's it. She thinks that they are also sending a bad message to kids and doesn't let me play my CD's loud enough for my little brother to hear. My Dad thinks that they are terrible, meanwhile he listens to bands exactly like My Chemical Romance. |

I'm not sure about my dad, though. He's also going to the concert, so I guess he likes them. |
