listening to my chemical romance on shuffle is like shaking ass. crying. shaking ass and crying. gender resigned. committing arson. accidentally listening to the national anthem.

MY CELLMATE’S A KILLER, THEY MAKE ME DO PUSHUPS IN DRAG

(CW: slurs (f and c), homophobia, violence, implied rape)

“They say Detroit is one of the toughest cities in the world. But today, Detroit, the girls have been tougher than the boys…and I know that I’m pretty, but I ain’t that fuckin’ pretty. Boys, let me hear what you got! One more time, boys, let me hear what the fuck you got! Alright, are you a bunch of animals? It’s time we start acting like animals. Boys, this song is just for you! But I want you to do one thing for me…I want you to take your fucking shirts off–just the boys!–get your shirts off and swing it over your fuckin’ head! I don’t care if you a size 32 or a size 48 or a size 64! Holy shit, look at all those shirts. Pull out, pull out with those bullshit cameras. Pull out! Look at all the fuckin’ shirts! I think we ‘bout to turn this motherfucker ‘round!”

Gerard introducing “You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison,” Projekt Revolution 2008.

“You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison” is about exactly what it sounds like. And it sounds a little like a “don’t drop the soap” joke or something equally in poor taste–I would argue, in many senses, it is–so it would be fairly easy (and I have done so before) to write it off immediately as Problematic. And it is! This is a fucked up, campy, tongue-in-cheek song about being raped in prison. As Gerard so eloquently put it, “This song got us arrested in France, ‘cause it’s about getting fucked in the ass!” Despite the sardonic tone and over-the-top stage antics coupled with its performance, however, I would argue that “Prison,” rather than simply making light of the patriarchal violence it references, is exemplary of how closely gender/sexual transgression and violence are conceptually bound in MCR’s discography, and tells something deeper about the everyday violence heteropatriarchy wields against those of us who don’t conform to it.

In My Chemical Romance songs, there is no same-sex desire or gender transgression without mutilation or murder crowded right up next to it. In“Mama,” the Patient laments “what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,” and in the next line wails, “You should’ve raised a baby girl! I could have been a better son!” Maleness and the incorrect performance thereof are thus linked to the disfigurement in the line preceding–if only the narrator had done better at being a man, or had not been one at all! In “To The End,” (based on Faulkner’s gruesome “A Rose For Emily”) the “groom” described is “not around/he’s always looking at men/Down by the pool, he doesn’t have many friends/As they are/Face down and bloated/Snap a shot with the lens.” Same-sex desire and death are in the same breath. “Bury Me In Black,” a demo B-side from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, scathing, cries, “I wanna see what your insides look like/I bet you’re not fuckin’ pretty on the inside!” and analogizes beauty to drug addiction and its accompanying body-horrors:

Just give us war-worn lipstick, blood, and purifying flame I sleep in empty pools and vacant alleyways And what I’m going through, shot lipgloss through my veins

And in “Give ‘Em Hell, Kid,” Gerard screams:

Well I’m a total wreck and almost every day Like the firing squad or the mess you made Well don’t I look pretty walking down the street In the best damn dress I own?

Consider, then, this interview where Gerard describes a day during his time at SVA when he, well, walked down the street in his best damn dress:

Interviewer: In ‘You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison’ the main character is made to do pushups in drag. If you were forced to so something in drag, what would you choose to do?

Gerard: Karate.

Frank: I liked the “if you were forced, what would you choose to do.”

Gerard: It’s like the drag fairy comes by and says, “what would you like to do?” Umm yeah, karate.

Frank: Really?

Gerard: Really. I would do what I did when I dressed in drag this one time before. I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick.

Frank: He looked like Christina Ricci.

Gerard: You should see me as a chick. I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me, but I couldn’t talk obviously… You know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute.

Frank: I would date Gerard.

Gerard: HA! I looked hot as a chick.

OK so I feel like everyone’s doing something like this and I may as well jump on the bandwagon

if you listen to My Chemical Romance, reblog this.

everyone who reblogs this post will get their url written on a small slip of black, red, or white paper, which will be put in a jar to be kept forever.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON

if I ever get the chance to meet MCR, I’ll bring the jar with and show them how many people love them and their music.

let’s all be killjoys together.

[tothisjoyousaffair]

under communism it will be our chemical romance

i dunno man there’s just something so contently satisfying to me about “hostile” aesthetics like goth and punk tinged with unabashed, unashamed positivity

maybe it’s bc i liked the addams family too much as a kid but give me conventionally creepy gross stuff like frogs and bones and rats and dyed hair and lots of black clothes but this time overlay it with just. flagrant positivity. dye your hair and if a kid asks why it’s purple tell them you’re secretly a fairy. adopt a black cat and make kissy noises at it. wear all-black outfits bc they make you feel good and confident. collect animal skulls or halloween decorations or own some frogs or bugs or snakes because that’s what you love. goth and punk are about not caring what people think but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about people. be kind and giving and loving; save your anger and fight for the people who aren’t.

Ima look classy emo, eyeliner done nice and mesh shirts and pretty jewelry

The real question is

what the fuck do I wear to an MCR concert

[tothisjoyousaffair]

Also Freddy Mercury

Gerard Way deserves credit for like… 99.9% of my personality. Like, do you think I go around drinking ungodly amounts of fucking coffee, and being the most melodramatic piece of shit because I WANT to. YES!!!, but also because it’s what Gerard Would Have Wanted.

[tothisjoyousaffair]

I can’t believe that if this turns out to be just a reunion tour with no new music we will be forced to kill mcr. what a shame.. sorry boys time to die

[tothisjoyousaffair]

Emo blogs going to see mcr live reblog!!
