Carlie; revenge:
It's defiantly how different they are than other bands that makes me like them so much. And they're so easy to relate to.

Lol I think that's actually one of the strangest things about MCR fans. When I was a Good Charlotte fan everyone was all like "how can you possibly relate to the people in GC, they're almost 30, they're MEN, and you're a teenage girl." (Not to me, I couldn't relate to any of them at all, except maybe Billy.) You don't see that here, people are free to pretend they're similar to a bunch of guys at least 10 years older than them and nobody cares! I think that's because everyone in MCR don't do all the crazy things most famous people do or are in the paraparazzi, MTV Hollywood scene as much so they act more like real people.

^ yeah i agree with that! lol cause they definetly safed my life.

i think another reason we love them so much is because they didnt start the band for money, and they put real emotion in it, and each song has its own hidden message.

That's the main thing; it's where the saving lives comes from, it's where the energy comes from, it's where everything stems from.

They started this band to help people. Be it themselves (Gerard getting over his addictions, Ray being able to play guitar again, Frank having a future in music, etc.) or others (How many lives has this band saved? How many bad times has their music helped people through?), it was about doing something important, beyond what just living their lives would do.

MCR is about creating music with substance that helps people. There aren't that many bands that actually started with that mission.

I don't think MCR fans are WAY more obsessed than some other band's fans, but like Frank said, 'and if they aren't, our kids can always beat them up'. xD

Well at my school the whole 'Mychem' wave is over, thank goodness. I can live with people bagging me for liking them. It's harder when they're obsessive with no good reason.

"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen-year-old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about. "
- Gerard Way

It may bother me, and hell, even I'm guilty of occasionaly having a rant about "real fans", but you've got to remember what matters. It's not about the amount of time, the music you know, or anything like that. It's about how the music speaks to you and what impact it has on you.

^you are 100% right!

what makes mcr special is....
*the music they make
*the lyrics they write
*the fans they have
*the support they get
*how much lives they saved
*the band its self

but if i may point out mcr is a just a band there speical but there just like any other bandthat saves lives it dosent matter how powerful a band is at saving lives its the lives they save.

and it dosent really matter if there are people who only listened to a few or may be even 2 or 3 of mcrs songs.be happy that they atleast listened to the band and that they might gain power of the music and become a fan
it dosent matter if a damn teenie,9 year old,etc likes mcr all you have to do is ignore it and be happy that they found out who mcr is or will in the future.
yeah there are obsessive teenies but they dont know better so like i said mcr is no special then any other band out there that saves lives.

I don't think MCR's fans are really necessarily better...we just think so because we are them xD

But if their fans were better, it would be because they're so 'fuck rock and roll' and they don't care if people are fat or skinny or what age or race.

I honestly have no idea.
I've never fell in love with a band before I met MCR.
Never been attached to music before I heard MCR music.
And I still continue loving them even if all of my friends and parents hate them.

I've been wondering of the same thing for years now.

My love for the band stems from the fact that I can relate to almost every song they've ever written. There's something in it that makes me remember somewhere I've been, something I've done, something I've lived through and come out stronger for when it's all said and done. No, I'm not a teenager anymore, I don't go to school and I don't deal with all the nonsense that goes on there -- but I did, and I was the geeky kid in the corner who read books all the time and dressed in black and really only ever came out of my shell when I was on a stage. So I've been there and I know how much music like this can mean to that outcast kid who feels misunderstood by the world. Billy Corgan did it for me in the early 90s, Gerard Way is doing it for the kids now.

But as a whole, this band, besides making incredible music, seems to truly care about their fans and what is important to them. It's like they want everyone to know that you're okay as you are, no matter what anyone else thinks or says. I love the "It's okay to be messed up, because there's five other guys out there who are just as messed up as you are" quote from LOTMS.

And, as I've said before on other threads: The guys are comic book geeks. And I absolutely adore that.

they're just such good guys. all five of them. and they put everything they've got into the music. all of their songs reach out to you in some way. and they're inspiring.

they're real and the music's real. Dance

We have a team mentality.
Thanks to My Chemical Romance, we're no longer misfits, because we know there's five guys out there just as messed up as us.

And *that's* why we're such massive fans. We're not just MCR fans, we're the MCRmy, we're the Black Parade, we're demolition lovers, we're the MEANING of revenge -

AND THAT WAS THE MOST DRAMATIC POST I HAVE EVER WRITTEN.
