I knew girls like this. I was friends with girls like this. I was almost girls like this. I wonder how they're doing these days.

We have learned to tone down and mold ourselves into corporate hellscape. We're not okay (I promise).

[–] nonailsleft@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Also they call themselves garbagebagel on the fediverse

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 26 points 7 months ago (5 children)

To discuss: was My Chemical Romance unfairly dunked on during their fame? Was their music actually pretty good when you ignored the memes?

[–] windowsphoneguy@feddit.de 35 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Three cheers for sweet revenge and Welcome to the black parade are S tier, change my mind

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

In in my 40s and I can say that their music was pretty great. Their lyrics were super cringey, but ignoring lyrics is what pop music is about.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Agreed. I've had my copies of both on CD since I was a teenager.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Danger Days was also pretty criminally underrated.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Danger Days was their best album, and easily one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

Like, that's not even a fucking debate. Sing, Planetary, Na Na Na, Summertime, DESTROYA, Vampire Money, Save Yourself I'll Hold Them Back, Kids From Yesterday, S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W... That album is banger after banger after banger.

I'd say they were dunked on for getting famous but they got famous for being quite good for the genre.

[–] lady_maria@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They were also dunked on for being "emo"

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Yeah, dunked on by the mainstream for being emo and dunked on by the emo scene for being too mainstream, lol.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I'm an older guy, so when I listened to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge I heard a lot of Queen and Iron Maiden in it. I thought it was great, some of their songs are top tier. But I can see how if you were in high school at the time and didn't embrace their style, you might not like it. I mean, even Queen and Iron Maiden had their detractors back in the day...

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 3 points 7 months ago

Nope. I particularly liked Welcome to the Black Parade and Famous Last Words

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social -4 points 7 months ago

They weren't dunked on enough.

[–] Oiconomia@feddit.de 17 points 7 months ago

2011 wants this post back

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I see 3 outcomes: she became a copy of her parents, she's part of the "cringe is dead, embrace your passions" group, or he's doing just fine.

[–] Marketsupreme@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What is the cringe is dead group I have no heard of this

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Basically, it's a reaction to people on social media calling anybody showing any amount of enjoyment from something "cringe."

Cringe is dead, let people enjoy things, embrace the cringe, etc.

I think I've seen it largely in Millennials who have reached a point where they just don't care what the current trend is or what people think of them. They're at the point where they're just like, "I'm in my 30s/40s, fuck it. I'm gonna blast Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance like it's the early 2000s and enjoy the things I like because I can't be bothered to care what people think."

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Just learned this group exists and I’m in it lol

I’m in my 30s, I’m a full grown man with a great wife and good job, I’ll listen to whatever music I like

[–] Marketsupreme@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is it viewed as Abad thing to be in that group? Sounds delightful

[–] logi@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Is it viewed as Abad thing to be in that group?

Who cares!

Sounds delightful

Amen!

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

Good for them. My neice just picked up a copy of Welcome to The Black Parade on vinyl. I'll be getting her Danger Days for her birthday.

And I say this as someone who used to hate MCR when I was younger. Then I got older and learned to stop reflexively sneering at things I perceived as mainstream, and realized I'd been missing out on one of the greatest bands of all time.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Me listening to AvataR

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I love Chris Jericho, like he's in my top 5 all time favourite wrestlers, but this gimmick, this one was stupid AF, that was a hard time to take him seriously.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

He used to be my favorite. Now he's just pathetic. He's so garbage in the ring and a cringe old man out of it, these days. Not to mention he's a Maga moron who donated like $50k to Trump, and his wife was at the insurrection.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

To be fair, the gimmick was supposed to be stupid. Like, it's very obviously a bit.

And I really, really want to love Jericho, especially after his early AEW stuff (Le Champion was peak wrestling), but between the Trump mania and the stuff with Kylie Rae I just can't stomach seeing him on screen any more.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 5 points 7 months ago

Music taste has expanded a whole bunch but I'll always have a nostalgic soft spot for My Chemical Romance.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

Ol' Mr. NDA

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I used to chat online with an emo girl in my teens. I wonder how she is doing now.
