Young MCR fans

i was a fan since bullets came out actually which was 2002 so i was 8, when I started listening, so I think as long as kids no that these songs are nto just a good hook and a catchy tune, and thye actually get the concepts and meanings then sure why the hell not, young mcr fans pwn..

i think its ace younger kids gettin into mcr
even if they dont understand it yet when their older they will
my lil brothers 11 and hes going to see them with me in November

i'm 12. and i wouldn't be here without MCR. if we get it, we get it, but you might not have noticed, YOU HEAR SWEARING. wherever you are, on a bus in school, people swear. and if you're THAT young, you wont get the concept. so you like the music part of it, good for you. MCR is my life right now, if i wasn;t allowed to listen to them i don;t know what i would do.

i ike what gerard said about mcr resonating with the young audiences. that we're starting to realize that we are going to potentially raise a kid in a world where you have to worry about terrorist attacks and stuff like that. he puts it really well (this is the interveiw where gerard talks about turning thirty.)

pretty vacant.:

Gah! I hate 14/15/16+ year olds who think I'm too young to like MCR! I was wearing one of my MCR t-shirts today and I went to the mall...I walked in Hot Topic and there was a girl that was like 15 in there and she looked at me and this is what she said, 'Why the fuck is that little girl wearing a My Chemical Romance shirt...She's such a poser. Go shop at Limited Too!'....Now THAT made me mad! (I HATE Limited Too!, my 5 year old cousin shops there..*shutters*) So of course as hot-tempered as I am I went up right in her face and said "Well well well...Another one of those bitchy 'you have to be older to listen to certain music, police!" I said something else but I forgot what it was...After I said that she just gave me a weird look and walked away.

*gives medal*

i know one time me and my friend were eating at kfc and these like 15/16 year olds go nice shirt...and we said oh thanx and my phone went off and they said my chemical romance is gay! and we couldent think of a comback but we were gonna throw a soda at them sorry its not really like your story but same concept...kinda........oh well anyways sick comback

I saw a baby in a shopping centre yesterday with an MCR Baby-grow on, I didnt even know they existed, maybe the mom made it, I don't know. This kid looked about 1 year old though, it was cool xD

That baby's lucky to have a mom like that.

i wish my mom was like that^^ pretty franking sweet!

it really depends, if they understand the topics the metaphores and all, and what they went through... Sure it's a matter of maturity, but my friend was 11 when she started listening to them and she still likes them. I would not say mean things about a young fan, though. I understand what being a fan means.

Yeah, really.

My sister just turned twelve, and my brother is five. They used to like them...a few months ago. When I was going to Projekt, my brother even said, "Adda, if I could go, I would dress up as Gerard". Now they're just sick of hearing about them.

I think it's alright. My little sister is seven, and she's a Justin Timberlake and High School Musical freak. I've been trying to wean her off that and onto real music (start with MCR and FOB, then move to grunge and hard rock) and it's slowly working.

I don't worry about the lyrics because she knows all the bad words in there (I taught her how to swear when she was five and made her promise to never repeat them in front of our parents) and doesn't use them. I don't care anyway; they're just words for fuck's sake and the kids will learn them anyway. It's better they learn them soon and learn their appropriate context rather then hear them late like me and use them non-stop.

I work with elementary school kids (5-11 year olds) and some of them are into MCR. Now I'm not going to get into it with their parents whether they think it's right or wrong, because they as parents should be involved with what their child is listening to.

My thing is, children that age are learning to express themselves. They aren't necessarily old enough to find their own style, but they are old enough to know what they do and do not like, and what they can relate to. If it's MCR, great. If it's Hannah Montana, that's fine too. So if an 8 or 9 or 10 year old feels moved by MCR (or similar bands, insert any band name here), for their look, their music, or their message, I'm fine with that. In fact, to me, it shows that child has more imagination and more expression, because they are already going against the grain and exploring options. God knows, they spend their day being shuttled from class to class, stand in line, don't do this, don't do that, don't ask questions, just do as you're told. I think it's awesome that there are some who are already looking for ways to express their individuality. In fact, I have a lot of respect for a kid who, at that age, is already willing to be different.

Believe me, in a world full of Disney Channel drivel which the majority of the kids slurp up like sugar water, it's refreshing to have a few kids who see the rest of the world outside of the rose-tinted bubble.

(and I made an MCR onesie for my niece, due on the 17th. She'll be the coolest kid in her day care.)

I wasn't mature when i was 10, lol, i listened to crap that i barely even understood.
when i was at the concert in belfast there was a lot of kids with their parents and when Gerard was cursing onstage i could seem them on the balconys acting all shocked.

I think as long as the younger fans are mature enough then it's fine.
