I think the fact that the Daily Mail felt the need to defend themselves & their position in a written statement shows that the fans have achieved something with their efforts.And as a side note, aren't all 3 MCR albums concept albums about vampires? Movies express ideas while telling stories too - and you don't see too many people complaining about that (notable exception I can think of is Natural Born Killers).Emo isn't a musical style anymore - it's a label for a culture, and the music is just a tiny component of that culture, and can't be one-dimensionally assigned blame. That would be like blaming the road in a car crash - sure it was there, but there are probably bigger elephants in the room that indicate why this terrible tragedy happened.I don't know what this girl's story was & I've never read the article from the Daily Mail and to be honest, I can't be fucked. But I'll take a pretty safe guess here and say that there was definitely other pressures in this girl's life, and maybe a pre-disposition to depression and depressive behavior. Elephants - it's all about the elephants.
