Can you react to die in california by Machine gun kelly, Landon Barker featuring Young Thug and Gunna? It's also rock.

You should do you don’t get me high anymore by three days grace

[@tjmoore428]

From Gerard, the lead singer: "It's a commentary on kids being viewed as meat; by the government and by society. That's how I felt in school, and after 9/11 happened that's how I felt in general. It's very important that this song is here because I always viewed this as about these kids in the parade who had killed themselves, who had made a big mistake. It's a very powerful song."

[@straylightrun53]

thank you for positing this

[@DaRealMrsRaymond]

What interview is this from?

[@-Gax-]

You know what's even cooler, he also said it was a reflection on him growing and being scared as shit of teenagers. Why I love this song is because when I was 16 I was the teenager, now I'm in my thirties, I'm the person who's freaked out by them.

[@samthayer5997]

I was going to comment something to this effect. I grew up as a teenager in post 9/11. Not a kid but not grown either. We started to see how ugly the world really was. And my god the pressure to fit in with what society thought. Most teenagers of the time started to ask the real questions. Older people chucked the questioning youth into the category of defiant and dangerous. So shit like "They could care less as long as someone will bleed." To me was a stereotypical thing the older generation would say to us. They didn't care that we had real thoughts. They just wanted cogs for the murder machine. (Ie everyone to fall in line. It always gave me cold war- is your neighbor anti American because their teenager asks questions- vibes.) Maybe it was growing up in a small Midwestern town at the time. Small towns are weird.

[@chand911]

Thank you. People always think the song is about the kids when it's about the parents.

[@skoorrpuhn1031]

16 years since Black Parade was released and I'm still amazed at Toro's guitar skills. There's a reason they referred to him as The Mad Scientist. Dude can get it.

[@RecklessAssaulT]

This entire album (The Black Parade) is considered the golden standard of Emo/Rock music. Its fantastic from start to finish and has a narrative all the way through all based around death.

[@Jockuptown]

in love and death is a better standard of emo tbh

[@Endersgamejp]

@@Jockuptown umm... as much as I love the used... 3 cheers was THE album of emo for me.

[@DannyCosmos]

famous last words is a masterpiece.

[@straylightrun53]

I would LOOOOOOOVE to see more My Chemical Romance reactions

[@CrazeeReaper218]

The reason MCR lasted years after they left, was because they were REAL. Everything they wrote about was not hiding from what was real and how people really felt.

[@clyderatliff6867]

"This is bringing me to a movie" I think that's why I love My Chemical Romance so much! Very cinematic. Even when you didn't have a music video to paint a picture, you could easily find one in your head.

[@alexnolan697]

The entire Black Parade album is a movie that you can make up in your own head

[@lisandroxiii5031]

You should do Famous Last Words by them. That one might blow you up, and it has a better message. Although this one too, the video ends up with a message against violence

[@MonicaRodriguezyo]

That is my favorite MCR song!

[@tacomastoned420]

I think a fun one from MCR is Mama. Especially with the highs and lows in the song, he'd probably have a great reaction to those. Yeah, songs like Famous Last Words and Ghost of You are really popular and amazing in their own rights, but it's the ones that didn't get MTV or radio plays that really shine from MCR. I've been listening to them since Bullets and honestly, that's one of their greatest albums in my opinion. Can't wait for their show in October this year. It's gonna be fucking awesome.

[@bxdrxck]

the band famous last words is also rly good

[@melynn_0355]

@@tacomastoned420 hell yeah definitely agree! cant wait to see em next month

[@Awnawbruh]

As someone that grew up on these guys, this song has always been about how the older generations demonize the youth. Pushing medications instead of talking thru and educating, how the next generation is always the “worst”. It’s got an easy to chant vibe because “what you’ve got under your shirt will make them pay for the things that they did” speaks to having lungs, a voice and the heart to get thru it all.

[@aMotionless]

@@lewienew yup, but this guy interpreted differently and that's cool too.

[@OilyAnimal3]

I thought the story was he wrote this song on a train or something and a bunch of teenagers were scaring the hell out of him or like stressing him. He started having a panic attack. I forgot exactly

[@dipper5835]

And now im saying how the next generation is fucked. We have gone full circle

[@romelo6086]

@@aMotionless see it may be just because of the way I was introduced to this song, but I thought that part of the song was about bullying and "what you got under your shirt" was just saying your abs or muscles, like we're gonna beat them up. Also "strike a violent pose" I heard "strike a (vi something) post" like he was hitting a stop sign or some other post because I didn't know wtf vi word he said

[@aMotionless]

@@romelo6086 Honestly thats a pretty understandable interpretation. And just because an artist had one way if interpreting their own work doesn't mean we can't get something different out of it. I alway found the best songs had many form of interpretation, and mcr has a bunch of those haha. I also think it's more fun to talk about we all interpret the same song. For me when I was younger I always felt it was a song about bullying and the angst it can give the victims, and the desire to get revenge on their bullies, but also how adults can contribute to these feeling by dismissing teenage problems as simply rebellion or something, and them being afraid of them because teens cam sometimes act out of anger or for simply violence sake. And it was come of too me like the song was in the perspective of an adult. But I guess most can say the same on that.

[@KingOfDepravity]

Gerard Way is an amazing lyricist! Created the umbrella academy comic book, which the shows based off. *This song was made long ago, way before the current gen situations that go down, eerie how it is way more relevant today.

[@alvatrous]

I had no fkin idea

[@savagemonkey9016]

Whaaat, you just blew my mind

[@ysocyrus]

It feels good to finally find someone review music and actually speak with confidence and intelligence, instead of just saying it’s trash cause it ain’t their preferred genre, great video man!

[@gavinheydon]

I don’t know if this song has been suggested but a great song from my teenage years “FACE DOWN - RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS” Such an important message and a great track

If you want another one from this album, 'Sleep' hits different.

[@twocityfoodies8476]

Not my favorite song from them but so happy you got around to reacting to MCR!! I remember seeing them way back in 02 or 03 at a super small venue in NJ when I was in college and then to see them blow up was amazing! Saw them again at The Terminal NYC to a sold out venue...I thought the balcony was going to fall.

[@caseyjake2682]

Love the this “pink look good” hell yeah for the positivity

[@SmoofDizzle]

Damn this brings me back to highschool. MCR was a daily play for sure.

[@Subaru_0906]

Very surprised you heard about this one. One of my other favorite songs by My Chemical Romance is Mama. 😁

[@Endersgamejp]

We all go to hell... it's really quite pleasant except for the smelll.

[@faffywhosmilesatdeath5953]

This song comes from The Black Parade which was a concept album that follows The Patient who had been to war and done things he regretted. This song is him looking back on his childhood and realizing he was always being pushed to shut up, conform, and obey. He was always being pushed (or programmed) towards where he ended up in the military.

[@cweldon87]

" the best revenge is success." Words to live by.

[@willthias]

Bro, thanks for bringing this song back for me... This was what I rocked while I was traveling the world as an Air Force loadmaster, mostly in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan

[@sarxanova5105]

surprised you havent heard this one yet! definitely in their top 5, alone with classics like WTTBP, Helena, and I'm Not Okay. Keep up the good work!

[@straylightrun53]

it’s always interesting to me that peoples all time favorite songs by them are only the singles, not hating, they seriously since 2004 have been my favorite band of all time, I just wish Fashion Statement, Sleep, or any of the bullets albums would get more love, also amazing ones are Destroya and Scarecrow

[@concrete_taco]

@@straylightrun53 All of those need more love. I've been obsessed with MCR for about 3 years, and every single piece of their music is amazing. They don't have a single bad song, and I think more people need to be aware of their underrated songs.. Like Heaven Help Us, Desert Song, Hang 'Em High, and even Bury me in Black.

[@straylightrun53]

[@tjmoore428]

Let’s gooooo MCR

[@rickjamez]

I took it as bullying can lead to lashing out when enough becomes too much. High school was all about fitting in , standing out from popularity, and marginalizing those that were not the "norm." If you feel you need to seek revenge, by all means, talk to someone, get help, get counseling, get away from those who you feel oppressed by. Those years are emotional and you will get past them, but dont hold it in and let it fester til you have to do something extreme.

[@sezzac155]

I just stumbled on your channel but I am a fan of My Chemical Romance. This song was the MCR song that made a fan. Being a teen at the time when it came out I thought it was just a straight up anthem for us teens. It took repeated listens to work out that there was more to it than that. This is still a teen anthem in my opinion, but it's also a critique of the mentality from those who are older who seem to expect that teens will become violent just because they are teens. The offical video makes it clear that the song is supposed to be anti-violence because at the end it says "Violence is NEVER the answer. If you feel like acting out, REACH OUT".

[@NeitNate]

between the two mainstream songs on this album by MCR. Teenagers gives us a auditory view on how society views the activities that teens did back in the 1990-early 2000. while dealing with major tropes like "dream" crushing voiced opinions, how cliques are more hurtful than they seem in school than they are helpful, and how we are expected to be carbon copies of one another and just fall into line like the ideal citizen. while the other song which I hope you do a reaction to down the line is " Welcome to the Black Parade" has a similar message structure to Metallica's Master of Puppets the somber and sad tone behind black parades theme of death being personified in every instrumental piece and the struggle to deal with death throughout the entire song from the very beginning note and lyrical line is just another reason to react to it. that being said this entire album is a interconnected rock opera and it might be worth just doing a longer reaction to each song or make it a playlist because it is about young man called "the patient" and it goes through the cycle of life, death, and afterlife. whilst each song can still be individually enjoyed it is all connected in 1 album and that is something to enjoy about MCR's Black Parade.
