“I’m emo in the wrong year!” cries the kid in 2015, ten years too late. With smudged Xs over their eyes, they clutch the 2005 Kerrang calendar close to their chest. “Take me back…” they whimper over and over again, stealing glimpses of Ryan Ross in the red rose waistcoat. “My precious…” they trail off, not wanting to face the reality that no one knows where Ryan is.
“Emo is over, you can all go home now!” taunts Pete Wentz repeatedly.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as home. Not in 2015.
The only hope that they have left is Gerard Way’s newly black hair and red eye make-up. “Just like the good ol’ times,” states the young emo, despite being 6 years old in 2005.
“Just like the good ol’ times indeed.”
