I truly think this band is one of the most inspirational bands to exist. Their lyrics have actual meaning and the band mates themselves all have their own backstories. And the fact that they did music for relief was the best part, they used their music to raise money for those in need. They also sang lots of songs about said people and said things. Overall, my favorite band.

They have given me so much hope and are so inspiring to others. I owe them everything. Thank you My Chemical Romance.

My Chemical Romance is a very talented band whose lyrics and songs have both saved many and made teenagers feel welcome and that they aren't alone. This band inspired me and still continues to do so. It makes me feel as if I finally fit in somewhere as a Killjoy and a member of the MCRmy.

An 'influencer' band. Punk, mod whilst still being standard rock influence. Power chording, Marshall stack and discouraged screaming teen girls at gigs before many others. Townshend wrote the most honest self effacIng lyrics of all, was the most intellectual of the rock Gods without losing touch with the power of pop and pop culture which he understood better than most.
