    The Black Parade is a rock opera centering around the character of "The Patient". It is about his passage out of life and the memories he has of it. "The Patient" dies and death comes for him in the form of a parade. This is based on singer Gerard Way's notion of death appearing to a person in the form of their fondest memory, in this case seeing a marching band as a child.

    MCR is one of those bands I get passionate about. There's a reason they gained a whole new generation of fans after their initial breakup in 2013. Their music, especially lyrical content, and their message resonates with so many of us.
    As Brad said, they're more about perseverance and an overall positive message. While most "emo" bands, their peers at the time, dwelled on the sadness, MCR went the other direction, telling you "it's gonna be ok, even if you're not OK.
    The Black Parade album is their magnum opus, but i personally think Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (second album) is their best work. It's more of a punk vibe while Black Parade is very alternative and heavily influenced by Queen, David Bowie, and Smashing Pumpkins.

    I didn't like MCR until I went to a concert they were coheadliners on and they blew me away. Their energy on stage was incredible. I think Gerard Way could've been the Freddie Mercury of the 2000s. Absolutely phenomenal... and I saw them and The Used perform a cover of "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen... nobody could've done that cover half as good as they did. Look it up here on RUclips. Incredible artists

    "The black parade" is metaphor for a funeral procession. The song is about that, how people pass on and are remembered, and shouting that despite being missed, the living will carry on.

    This album is definitely pretty different from most of their others. The first few have more of the stereotypical “emo” vibes that I think you weren’t getting with this one. I’d still consider this to be an emo genre, but it’s more of a stylistic album. And it definitely has more “upbeat” songs compared to prior albums.
    I hop you listen to more. It’s a great song, and definitely one of their more popular I think, but it’s far from their best. They have some intense songs that show more of their range both in vocals and composition.

      As the other commenter said, Real emo isnt at all like MCR, reason we call it emo is because broad society just mixes a lot of subcultures into the label "emo" Gerard Way himself for the longest time disavowed the word emo and called the emo subculture garbage, only later in his career he started using it since at that point they were just considered emo

      @@TheRealMirCat Emo style def isn't defined by overly happy music. That would be more akin to pop punk. But idk, I was super emo when it was at it's peak. When you look at stuff like Thursday, old Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, Chiodos, they don't sound much like any of that sorta stuff. Maybe a little bit of Senses Fail. But Gerard's vocals just don't have that emo vibe at all. And imo that's one of the most emo defining things about the genre. He's angsty, but he ain't whiny and nasal like a lot of emo singers are.

Just like almost all emobands from that era they have their roots in hardcore and ended up as alt-rock/pop-punk band.

    Seeing a lot of comments about how the parade is a metaphor for death, and that is partially right.
    The entire album is about a young guy diagnosed with a terminal illness. This is song is about how he is reflecting on the dreams his father had for him as a child, and facing his own mortality. He doesn't want to fight it, because there is no point; nobody will really remember a kid who dies young in a world of tragedy. But, when he thinks on this more, he realizes he wants to fight his illness. So, I stead of giving in and allowing himself to be just another martyr to the illness, he will live on.
    12 Tones did a great breakdown of the musical themes used.

    I send my best wishes to Lex. I lost my dad 6 years ago today, and I lost my mom almost a year ago, and this album and song in particular had a big influence on me in my teens. My dad even liked them. I’d make my dad cd’s with a whole bunch of my favorite songs so that he could listen to them too, and this was on one of them. This song makes me think of both of my parents though and it’s great for when I really just need to hear someone tell me that “we’ll carry on”. I got this cd when it came out in 2006 and 16 years it’s still an anthem for me.

If you want something darker, I’d suggest Helena or if you’re up for something more theatrical, you have to check out Mama. If you want something more upbeat, check out Party Poison or Na Na Na.

    Oh man, it really takes me back to the early days of youtube, arguing with people in the comments section about what is or isn't emo music. MCR had a 'scene' aesthetic, scene sort of being the dyed black hair, eyeliner, etc, kind of a derivative of the goth aesthetic. People often confuse anything scene as emo. Original emo started in the late 80s, from the punk/hardcore scene and didn't sound too much like MCR. In the 00's, screamo music became a thing, also with the scene aesthetic (dialed up to 11), and I'd say screamo is what most people are actually thinking of when they say emo. MCR are pretty much just pop-punk, with heavy influences from rock opera such as Queen (particularly this song) and the darker lyrics and scene aesthetic typical of the 00's.

    Another real good, interesting video you should check out. MCR has some Queen influence. So many great songs, Helena, Famous Last Words, This is How I Disappear, Mama, Bulletproof Heart, I Don’t Love You, I’m Not Okay. I hope other people’s comments fill in ones I forgot to list here. I love MCR.

    One of the best shows I've ever been to. Amazing musicians, great live band.
    People get too wrapped up in the "Emo" thing. Not even sure what the fuck that means. But even their early albums were incredible.

    Marilyn Manson is not really an emo band/artist... while he may appear Goth, his music is more Shock Rock and Metal. Simple Plan is my favorite emo/alternative band and they just released a new song.
    I think everybody has heard their song "Welcome to My Life"??

  • @fluffy_walrus
    @fluffy_walrus 2 года назад +1

    MCR was always more standard Punk-rock rather than emo in sound IMO, they just had the "emo" fashion style/aesthetic (it was always pretty confusing with both emo music and emo fashion existing in the same era, and bands not necessarily doing both at the same time) which led to them more readily getting lumped into Emo music.
    Emo is rooted in Hardcore music (Emo was originally a shortened way of saying "emotional hardcore"), so it's not really dark and sludgy like Marilyn Manson, it's a form of emotional rock music to simplify it. Rites of Spring, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, Sunny Day Real Estate, Dashboard Confessional, Taking back Sunday, American Football, Paramore (their early stuff at least) were all examples of emo.

    Thi IS emo. Marilyn manson is not of the emo genre. Marilyn is goth metal. I could see how you could confuse them. But emo is generally more sad, and deals in depression. It also has a punk sound, with young boyish vocals. Gothic metal is more dark, and sadistic.
    If you wanna hear the quintessential sound of emo, listen to Adam's song -Blink 182

    Try the Used or Taking Back Sunday. Those guys were out and about the same time and they had some crazy lyrics in their songs. You guys have been exploring some great music lately.

    Even though this isn’t an emo song, they were/are an emo band(with other styles mixed in). Black Parade is a pretty straightforward punk song.
    It looks like this is your second emo song. Waiting Room by Fugazi, was, I think, the first(and let the hairsplitting begin 😁).
    I saw a couple other people mention bands like Thursday and Jimmy Eat World(I’ll get back to them), but here are a handful(and incomplete list) of other, older bands to possibly consider
    Rites Of Spring - For Want Of(85)
    Dag Nasty - Values Here(86)
    Embrace - Give Me Back(87)
    Samiam - Slumbering(91)
    Indian Summer - mm(millimeter)(94)
    Hoover - Cable(94)
    Mineral - Five, Eight, Ten(96)
    Jimmy Eat World - Call It In The Air(96)
    the Jazz June - When In Rome(97)
    Braid - First Day Back(98)
    Hot Water Music - Translocation(98)
    Saetia - An Open Letter(98)
    Planes Mistaken For Stars - Pillbox(99)
    The Get Up Kids - Red Letter Day(99)
    Elliott - Calvary Song(00)
    Cursive - The Great Decay(01)
    Twelve Hour Turn - Sleep Comes Early For You(02)

    You should listen to one of the many guitar covers of this (not for a reaction, just to appreciate the guitar line more)... the MCR production does not really bring our the guitar enough to appreciate what a great performance it is.

    The black parade is a concept album that tells the story of a guy dying in hospital from cancer and in the story of the album when you die, you enter your favorite memory. For the guy in the story, his favorite memory was going to see a parade with his dad as a little kid.

      Emo is usually seen in "waves". Currently emo is in its fourth wave. Which, believe it or not describes emorap. Nothing Nowhere, Lil Peep etc. My Chemical Romance FIts into the third wave. Second wave was in the 90's, and the sound is usually referrenced to as midwest emo these days. First wave was in the 80's. All waves with more distinct sounds. The music is often confused with the subculture people connect to third wave. Its all fucking relative anyway though

  • @Iam_Stu

    Emo as a genre has never really been just depressing gloomy music. It's has always been about facing those things, and feeling them (The first step to any recovery is acknowledging the hard stuff), and fighting through them. Celebrating the strength of people going through hard things. I see you reacted to The Middle by Jimmy Eat World a month after this, another emo band with a lot of songs about getting through hard stuff and believing things will be okay in the end.
