I knew girls like this. I was friends with girls like this. I was almost girls like this. I wonder how they’re doing these days.

We have learned to tone down and mold ourselves into corporate hellscape. We’re not okay (I promise).
Also they call themselves garbagebagel on the fediverse
To discuss: was My Chemical Romance unfairly dunked on during their fame? Was their music actually pretty good when you ignored the memes?
Three cheers for sweet revenge and Welcome to the black parade are S tier, change my mind
In in my 40s and I can say that their music was pretty great. Their lyrics were super cringey, but ignoring lyrics is what pop music is about.
Agreed. I’ve had my copies of both on CD since I was a teenager.
Danger Days was also pretty criminally underrated.
Danger Days was their best album, and easily one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
Like, that’s not even a fucking debate. Sing, Planetary, Na Na Na, Summertime, DESTROYA, Vampire Money, Save Yourself I’ll Hold Them Back, Kids From Yesterday, S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W… That album is banger after banger after banger.
I’d say they were dunked on for getting famous but they got famous for being quite good for the genre.
They were also dunked on for being “emo”
Yeah, dunked on by the mainstream for being emo and dunked on by the emo scene for being too mainstream, lol.
I’m an older guy, so when I listened to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge I heard a lot of Queen and Iron Maiden in it. I thought it was great, some of their songs are top tier. But I can see how if you were in high school at the time and didn’t embrace their style, you might not like it. I mean, even Queen and Iron Maiden had their detractors back in the day…
Nope. I particularly liked Welcome to the Black Parade and Famous Last Words
They weren’t dunked on enough.
2011 wants this post back
I see 3 outcomes: she became a copy of her parents, she’s part of the “cringe is dead, embrace your passions” group, or he’s doing just fine.
What is the cringe is dead group I have no heard of this
Basically, it’s a reaction to people on social media calling anybody showing any amount of enjoyment from something “cringe.”
Cringe is dead, let people enjoy things, embrace the cringe, etc.
I think I’ve seen it largely in Millennials who have reached a point where they just don’t care what the current trend is or what people think of them. They’re at the point where they’re just like, “I’m in my 30s/40s, fuck it. I’m gonna blast Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance like it’s the early 2000s and enjoy the things I like because I can’t be bothered to care what people think.”
Just learned this group exists and I’m in it lol
I’m in my 30s, I’m a full grown man with a great wife and good job, I’ll listen to whatever music I like
Is it viewed as Abad thing to be in that group? Sounds delightful
Is it viewed as Abad thing to be in that group?
Who cares!
Sounds delightful
Amen!
Good for them. My neice just picked up a copy of Welcome to The Black Parade on vinyl. I’ll be getting her Danger Days for her birthday.
And I say this as someone who used to hate MCR when I was younger. Then I got older and learned to stop reflexively sneering at things I perceived as mainstream, and realized I’d been missing out on one of the greatest bands of all time.
Me listening to AvataR
I love Chris Jericho, like he’s in my top 5 all time favourite wrestlers, but this gimmick, this one was stupid AF, that was a hard time to take him seriously.
He used to be my favorite. Now he’s just pathetic. He’s so garbage in the ring and a cringe old man out of it, these days. Not to mention he’s a Maga moron who donated like $50k to Trump, and his wife was at the insurrection.
To be fair, the gimmick was supposed to be stupid. Like, it’s very obviously a bit.
And I really, really want to love Jericho, especially after his early AEW stuff (Le Champion was peak wrestling), but between the Trump mania and the stuff with Kylie Rae I just can’t stomach seeing him on screen any more.
Music taste has expanded a whole bunch but I’ll always have a nostalgic soft spot for My Chemical Romance.
Ol’ Mr. NDA
I used to chat online with an emo girl in my teens. I wonder how she is doing now.
Good thing most of the bands I listen to have less than 300k listens on most of their songs
