Gerard Way's Views on Fans Being 'EMO'
Ok, here it is... I've decided to post this due to people denying that 'Emo' is shit and that it doesn't exist anymore.
Here's what Gerard Way thinks of the 'Emo' fans... This from the February 2008 issue of L!ME when Levan Wee interviewed Gerard Way backstage before their concert here in Singapore...
Question: "You once said that "Emo is shit" yet most of your fans consider themselves to be "Emo Kids". Does that mean your fans are shit?
Answer: "Emo is shit! I don't think Emo music even exists anymore, It's just a tool that record labels use to sell albums. When I think about Emo music, I think about bands I used to listen to like The Promis Ring or Sunny Day Real Estate - That stuff was amazing! The Emo of today is nothing! It's unfortunate that our fans call themselves Emo kids, but it's not really their fault. They're buying into magazine articles, media hype and all that crap. I don't know if I have the patience to tell the kids that they aren't Emo or if I really even care because I don't and it really doesn't affect me."
And that's Gerard Way's opinion of Emo...
So please people, Emo is shit, it doesn't exist anymore...
Stop with the hair, the cutting and the death wishing...
And one more MAJOR FACTOR CONCERNING EMO AND MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS NOT EMO!! I FEEL LIKE KILLING THE PEOPLE WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR WRITING THAT THEY ARE ON MY SCHOOL'S BOARD IN THE CANTEEN!!
With that, I rest my case...
Remeber, Emo is shit and people who are Emo are shit...
Shitheads...
P.S. I did not change anything in the interview...
