My Chemical Romance brand emo 'shit'

Gerard Way and co speak about their hatred of the genre

No, no, no, no, no... that is completely NOT what Gerard meant, you know, to any emos out there. He didn't mean that true emo is bullshit. He meant that what emo has become is bullshit. Instead of what it started out as - a music genre - it pretty much evolved (in society's point of view) into black clothes and hair, tight jeans, and long bangs. And, in turn, because most people think that is what emo is, they see My Chemical Romance's black clothes, Gerard's long black hair and mascara and think, right away, "well, they're emo." And many other bands who aren't truly emo are labeled that way. That is what Gerard meant. He just did a bad job explaining himself. A lot of people misunderstood what he really meant.
