Fans attack paper for 'scapegoating bands' in emo coverage
Sat 31 May, 2008
I don't think it was pointless, it was a protest against stereotyping and blaming people who have no reason to be blamed. The 5 guys in the band cannot be blamed for someone's suicide. Maybe people who are depressed/suicidal may be attracted to bands such as MCR as, yes, they often do focus on death. But they are not the cause of it. I listen to MCR and am the complete opposite of the stereotypical emo suicidal listener, and actually many people who like them are perfectly normal and do not want to kill themselves. Listening to a band cannot make you depressed, there must already be something wrong in your life or in your mind for you to feel like that.MCR have stated many times that they want to save lives and help people who are depressed, as Gerard Way has been depressed himself. A lot of their music has a lot of hope in it. As has been quoted many times the first line of the chorus to one of their biggest hits is "I am not afraid to keep on living".
