“So I can watch all my heroes sell a car on TV 😡” - MCR fans watching their heroes sell the music that made them into their heroes in the first place
You people pick one of the most successful bands in the world to call your “favorite,” and then you genuinely sound like this when they act accordingly
Stop complaining that the famous band is famous and go listen to the birds outside, then. God damn.
“So I can watch all my heroes sell a car on TV 😡” - MCR fans watching their heroes sell the music that made them into their heroes in the first place
No one hates MCR more than MCR fans. Y’all need to get a GRIP.
Point 1: It’s incredibly common for bands to sell reissues/deluxe editions of their music. It’s normal for them to sell different vinyl variants. That isn’t “selling a car on tv.” They’re not giving up their values to sponsor some external product. This isn’t Shaq selling you Icy Hot, or whatever. They’re literally selling their own music, like any other musical act.
Point 2: If you’re so disappointed in their lack of discussion of politics in the current world, you’re confused about who you’re listening to. MCR tackles politics and current events through veils and metaphor. They ALWAYS have. They have never spoken on these things explicitly. They’re practically putting on a stageplay. If you want a band that speaks on politics more explicitly, go listen to them, instead. They are very much out there.
You listen to MCR for MCR. You listen to punk for punk. Don’t get it confused, now.
…and no one is forcing you to buy a vinyl.
Nine times out of ten, MCR fans are fucking exhausting to me, and I’m finally figuring out exactly why.
I hear that MCR just played a song live for the first time and I think “oh, rad! I love that song!” And then I look at the response to it, and it’s all MCR fans talking about how they want to kill everyone who got to see that setlist + “why did THEY get to see it and not ME” + “I’m going to hurt Frank Iero for this” yadda yadda…
And I KNOW people are gonna tell me “hey, man, people are just joking when they say that stuff,” but my point still stands that the negativity, the forceful and aggressive intensity, and the bizarre, envious attitudes are all antithetical to a fun, supportive fan community. I never see it anywhere else. It’s weird, and it’s exhausting. When folks I knew told me they hated me and wanted me to die etc. etc. for seeing songs played live that they had wanted to see, I didn’t feel like a part of a community, I felt like they were being mean to me… because they were being mean to me. It wasn’t “aw, man, I wish I could have seen that performance,” it was threats and aggression and guilt tripping. Because I was at a certain show. And then show after show, setlist after setlist, this happens to new crowds and different fans, and it isn’t fun. It’s weird and overzealous. It makes me not want to engage with other fans at all.
Once, I expressed excitement over seeing Na Na Na live again, and they judged me because “they play it every time.” Okay? I like Na Na Na. Where is your fucking joy? Do you not love the music? People keep coming back for TBP over and over. Can I not enjoy the same song a second time, purely because I like it?
For once, I think it’d be really dope if people could just express enjoyment of MCR shows without being bitter and tearing other people down, or being performatively overdramatic. It’s like the whole thing is a competition to show everyone else that you’re a crazier fan than they are.
I really like Ambulance. It’s cool that it made a setlist for the first time. I love Danger Days a lot. It’s dope that it’s getting extra attention, this summer. I hope they do more to celebrate it.
I got a message from the Tumblr mental health bot for this post #weliveinhell

Drumming is kind of like playing a roguelike but with a bit more sweating
Every time I look at my wontshutup blog banner and see Shay I think “omg he’s so cute here. I like him. I should draw him more.” And that is truly a plight upon me. His propaganda
The Tumblr “Following” tab will show me posts by blogs I follow but then also the most out-of-left-field shit from fandoms and niches I have never displayed any interest in ever
dude, this is really scary, and liminal as well. It's like the bathrooms
“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story
“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do
Happy 15th to Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. Every now and then, I have to face the shockwaves it sent through my life, from my taste in music, to my obsession with comics, to my art style and my writing. I love you, Danger Days.
Oh, also I knowww no one listens to music recs, but… whatever. A while ago, I made a playlist of music I believe fans of Danger Days would like. It’s not complete in any sense, but if you want to expand your taste in (mildly) electronic rock starting from MCR, here’s… this.
Feat. No Devotion, The Beta Machine, Birds of Tokyo, Chevelle, etc with some DD in there to keep your ear.

Everyone complaining about the anniversary reissue of Danger Days and calling MCR greedy needs to get into small + local + indie bands and actually go to concerts.
I’m not saying they’re wrong to be annoyed, but you have to expect a big, moneymaking band on a major record label to act like it’s a big, moneymaking band on a major record label.
If you want to see a band + interact with a band that acts like a small, indie band, go see a small, indie band.
My Chemical Romance never would have happened if no one invested in the NJ post-hardcore scene 25 years ago.
Additionally, If you want more music in that style and from that era, it exists. Go find it. Listen to it. Support the musicians. A lot of those bands are still active, not playing stadiums, and you can invest in them instead of MCR.
Happy 20th Anniversary of Neil Banging Out The Tunes!!!!!
More rarer images of Neil, my beloved:
20 years.
I find it so beautiful that this little rat's life has been remembered with love for 20 years and will be hopefully for decades to come. Truly a marvel of the internet.
<3 love you Neil!!!!

There's a teen girl with a Booster Gold fan account on IG and she has a huge collection of Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and JLI comics, along with a "read" list of 1000+ comics on LoCG, and people STILL SAY SHE'S FAKING LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN--
