in 2002 i was a junior in highschool and we were hangin out listening to music and this kid basically gave us the shut up and listen to this speech, but his taste was reliable so we did. said this is a new band called my chemical romance. he played "honey, this mirror isn't big enough for the both of us" and i lost my damn mind. immediately asked for a burned copy (2002 realness) and i might actually still have it somewhere. i've been a fan ever since. that memory is etched in my mind forever. 21 years later my favorite mcr song is still from bullets. our lady of sorrows 👑
I saw them 3 times. 2007 Belfast. 2011 Los Angeles. 2012 Brisbane. Each time it was around $60. If they were charging what they do now I never would have gone.
In NZ when I saw them recently, it was only $140ish (cheap for current day massive bands). That price in the video definitely wasn't the band's fault rip
I remember in 2005 when it felt like overnight, all of a sudden half the kids at school have these giant shoes with fat, multicolored laces and an E on the side. My socially inept ass was just sitting there like “what are those?? No, seriously, what even are they?”
i remember cats music. it was an old record shop around where i lived. it went out of business some years ago, and from what i know hasn't popped back up, but it's super cool to see another person who went there. 6:55 is the timestamp- for anyone whos curious.
I saw MCR live in March this year at a sold out arena sized crowd in Sydney, the first time seeing them live since 2007. The mosh was dead for most songs exact the Black Parade hits. They even played "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" and the energy in the mosh was so low. Compared to 2007 it was constant energy the entire time. Sad to see.
Damn, I'm sorry you had that experience. I saw them September 22 in Fort Lauderdale and the crowd energy was just as insane as it was the last time I saw them back in 2010. Here's hoping your next time seeing them is better!
Well it wasn't at my high school, I heard that it was music that meant you were gay (derogatory) if you listened to it before I ever heard it. I never met any of the people who openly liked it sadly.
In college my roommate had his goth highschool girlfriend stay with us during her spring break. She told me to check out this new band My Chemical Romance.

I love the obscure internet memories. I remember there was a myspace account for Pete Wentz's bulldog Hemingway. My friends and I were all friends with him -- but we will never know if Pete was actually behind the account or if someone else made it up lol but there was one point I DMd with a lead singer of an emo band, we used to talk until like 4am about life and loneliness, just very cool conversations, and that was the absolute most emo thing I've ever done 🤣
I was living online back in 1997-98 man. When the net was just getting huge. AIM, ICQ, Roger WIlco. MSN Game Zone, GameSpy, fuckin WebTV. You OG's know what Im sayin
Dear fuckin GOD those tickets are INSANE. Here in New Zealand the tickets were just over $140ish, and NZD is worth LESS than USD. That has to be TicketMaster scalping. (and I mean the company is the one scalping)
I'm from the same time period as the last dude, it was all about the edgy MySpace and skate shoes you could also use shoe laces as a belt to take your skater punk game a step further.. good times
I’m genuinely wondering if MCR is still considered “emo” like MCR has become so mainstream and overly saturated that any normie listens to it. Not saying it’s a bad thing but I feel MCR is more broad now than it was before.
@@bruisedbug anything but that😭 I hate “mall emo” it’s basically mainstream emo. I still listen to MCR on repeat well i mean it’s not like MCR doesn’t hold up but still.
The grist time i listened that i can rmemebr to MCR was whilst digging out potatoes in my lawn. I had heard some of their songs before i am sure but like not significantly and i played then ans like sung really loud to Helena whilst digging out potatoes from my lawn with my dog. 😂😂😂
I am surprised to see how being a fan of certain groups changes if you are European or American, let me explain, here we do not have so easy to see groups like MCR or Pierce the veil, so the fan base is much smaller and This type of music is considered niche. Fall out boy is my favorite group and I have not found anyone who knows them, however I find it funny that they are so well known there, they are even referenced in an episode of South Park 🤣
I wish I could've gotten a copy of Bullets when I heard about them in 2003. Instead I became a super late bloomer fan years later, ah well... But yeah, the word on the street I heard in high school was that the depressed gay people liked them. Sadly never found my fellow depressed gay people. :(
@@faucetwater6740 I feel like being a 100 gecs fan while having never heard an MCR song puts me in some special bracket somewhere and I'll get a prize at the end if I never hear one of their songs
"They sound like an Adventure Time band" was strangely accurate
Especially from seasons 1-2
Basically shit that Marcaline would listen to
funny how gerard likes adventure time
I wanna see that security guards reaction to gecs
Joyce Manor's New Years 2023 show in Long Beach. if that night was the beginning of the end, at least there was beauty in the air.
My 2nd gets show was in CLT last year and the security guards were so confused when two wizards came out and started beating on pans with a hammer
they probably hated it
Hold my toung darling.
"everyday you live you learn something new, stay kicking for that" that last guy was dope
Hit a bit too hard😂🥲
100 Gecs helping out a smaller band like MCR is so wholesome hahaha
Why don’t you put your fuckin hands up

If you still have a burnt copy of bullets I would like you to give me a copy of your copy 😂😂
The fact that I saw MCR twice in 2011 for $25 a ticket is baffling to me. I guess people really didn’t like Danger Days lmao (I actually did tho)
I never cared about MCR that much but I liked a few songs off that one
Danger Days is so much fun!

"dont start smoking. if you do, get a box mod" incredible.
I saw this concert, it was awesome! They played skylines and turnstiles made me very happy.
Kinda ironic that the punk culture would be willing to pay 400+ dollars for concert tickets
pop-punk*
Pop punk* that ain’t no punk culture man
As a pop-punk enthusiast, yes I would. Def worth it
this isn't punk
america be wildin, I saw them in Prague for 40 bucks
MCR was mainstream and celebrated in my high school. You were cool if you listened to them and you were either punk or goth or emo ❤
good reporting. like borat once said “very nice”
5:48 average hyperpop fan
Yuck why did she say that? 100GEC’s (I dunno how to spell it) music is good but it’s not better than MCR
@@insanedinosaurdefinitely not better or as* iconic than MCR's whole discography for sure haha
5:48 they were so fucking funny

yeah cause its all geriatric arthritus-smitten late 30's early 40's dads and and moms in a vain attempt to relive their high school years...

Damn I saw them in the same month in New Zealand and everyone was hyped here. Sorry to see your crowd wasn't as fun :(
1:40 “that’s a good one”
Bands like MCR and Fall Out Boy were mainstream in my school and pretty sure at least half of my high school loved them.
lies. in 2004 listening to MCR was mainstream as hell at my school. then FoB from under the corktree came out and it took it to a whole new level.
sorry but mcr bodies every fall out boy album

probably bc they literally sucked face on stage to get homophobes mad lol, plus they got some gay lines in Revenge

They are deffo still considered an emo band, regardless on how many people listen to them.

of course, they're just considered mall emo

MCR was so uncool that they played some of the largest venues in cities.....
