My Chemical Death Threat

2007-05-12 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 45 Comments
Muse and My Chemical Romance have been forced to cancel a number of dates on their current co-headlining tour as several members of the bands and staff have contracted food poisoning.

The victims became "violently ill" after a gig in Virginia on April 29, and were later diagnosed with salmonella poisoning. The owner of Green Leafe Café in Williamsburg, Virginia, Glenn Gormley, claims he has been receiving death threats after being blamed by some fans for the incident.

The allegations are currently being investigated by Virginia authorities.

their (MCR) music is total crap. just high-pitched pretentious 'singing'/screaming over the ugliest guitars i've ever heard; sound like f*ckin violins infected with emo crapness.

If you mean those with depression/suicidal tendencies, then yes i believe they are not to be called emo....but this isn't about them, this is about a band we all like to make fun of, so get your fill while you can, and by the way i wasn't the only one who referred to the word "emo" so thanks for singling me out....thanks.

I've read a lot of MCR and other "emo" band lyrics, and they really do bring it upon themselves. If they dont want people to stereotype them then they should stop singing like theyre asking for it.

I think our definitions of "emo" are different. Emotional music, in my opinion, can be written quite often by bands that aren't "emo." I really dont find anything wrong with bands singing about how their hearts are broken or whatnot, thats "emotional." Bands labeled as "emo," in general, make me laugh. MCR included.

There is a right and a wrong definition of emo. I'll give you a second to figure out the right one.

It doesnt matter. If you mean "emo" like just plain emotional stuff, thats one thing. Any band can therefore write an "emo" song. Im talking about that increasingly popular trend for people to start listening to bands like MCR and make their lyrics a part of their life. Ive seen it pollute the minds of lots of people. Im not pinpointing anybody on this site, but Im saying that of all the fans of emo bands, sadly, the ones that cut themselves and pride on being this nonconformist group are the ones that speak the loudest. I have friends who listen to MCR that cant stand those crazy kids, and theyre pulled into the stereotype that a lot of these emo kids bring upon themselves.

mynamesischan, if you know what emo is, could you explain it?

Also even though I really can't stand MCR's music (whether they're emo or not), food poisioning them for not liking their music is really, really low.

if a song is emotional, that doesn't make it "emo." every ****ing song ever written is emotional to some extent.

We're not talking about ANY song...of course all songs have emotions one way or the other but what we are talking about right here are the band's whose lyrics beg for someone to shoot them in the head because they are drowning in a pool of misery, etc. This Message Edited On 05.13.07

I know. Im trying to differrentiate the meaning of emo im getting at. Some people like to argue that "emo" is strictly just emotional. Im not talking about that at all.
where the hell are you getting this "cutting" ****? Not from the people that cut themselves, obviously, but probably from people like you that generalize

Actually.... no. you speak as if its impossible to come across someone who cuts themselves. I have f'cking neighbors who do it. People in my school. They classify themselves proudly as emo kids.
If these lyrics speak to someone, more power to them. Music is supposed to connect to people and make them feel certain ways, and if MCR is doing that for someone, who are you to critisize it?

Thats different if the lyrics speak to someone. I get touched by songs every day. But if someone takes the meaning of lyrics too literally to the point where they focus their life around it, I think thats ridiculous. Not only in emo, but in any case of music. I think its awful every time someone writes "666" on a church after litsening to slayer. its the same concept.

I guess your just pulling shit out of thin air now because no bands do that, especially MCR. Really have you people ever listened to MCR or bands you people say are "emo"? Because it sounds like you don't and you hate on them just to seem cool.

Opeth sings about death and depression all the time. Yet do people go around saying that Opeth are "emo" and "depressed"?

You guys are completely missing my point. And I didnt contradict myself, I was clarifying what aspect of emo I was arguing about. Its my opinion that a lot of people brand themselves as emo. They pathetically try to imitate their favorite artists, and quite often live their life by it. MCR fans included. This group of people brings a lot of criticism upon themselves because they try to be so drastically different than anything else. You cant deny that a large portion of music fans lean toward this trend, and quite often in the emo genre.
Now, Im not for the "hey emo kids r gay cuz they cut themselvez" criticism, but there are way too many people that sadly bring it upon themselves.

If you go back to my first comment in this pointless argument you might actually notice that the entire point I was making is that people like this bring it upon themselves. I really dont worry about what someone wears or how they style their hair. They can do whatever's comfortable with them. I think its a little retarded (in my own opinion of course) when kids, specifically young teenagers, attempt at making a statement with their appearance. It doesnt affect me, but I think its pointless at the same time and thats why a lot of people tend to criticize them. And, more than often, the statement they make is directly tied to music.

Well, yeah, they bring it on themselves in the same way that rape victims bring it on themselves by being women.

Rape victims can change the fact that theyre women though. People who dress flamboyantly and intentionally try to bring attention to themselves dont exactly have to. Its their call and power to them if they want to, but my point is that people will criticize them based on that. Im not saying I support that criticism, Im just pointing it out that it happens.
