Are they the greatest emo band of all time? Who is bigger and more iconic than them, honestly?

>>130570011>emoseem more like PUNKS to me
billie eilsih
>>130570011Not even in the top 20 and you should hang yourself for continuing to push this absolute nonsense. I like MCR but you've completely fucked up any kind of discussion about them on this board.
>>130573681Emo is a subgenre of punk.
>>130570011>Are they the greatest emo band of all time? Who is bigger and more iconic than them, honestly?American Football
>>130573834It's a subgenre of Hardcore.
>>130573845Most overrated band in the genre
>>130574364uhhh football is a sport dude
>>130573681I believe they were "screamo" but from Three Cheers and beyond Gerard didn't want the band to have any specific label, they shifted to so many styles in the end that "Alternative" is probably the correct name even if it's the most vague
>>130570011FFFFFF-YOU GOT THIS NEW HEAD FILLED UP WITH SMOKE AND I GOT MY VEINS ALL TANGLED CLOSE
It’s not screamo or punk. It’s mall emo
>>130574437I thought he called it horror pop?
>>130570011>greatest>big and iconicalready on the wrong track

>>130573845>>130574364is american football even emo at all? where are the hardcore elements?
>>130573964Which is a subgenre of punk.
>>130574496which is a subgenre of rock and roll
They're fucking kino I mean Gerard sucks live because he gets winded after like one song but them dodging all the piss bottles in Reading Festival '06 was cool as fuck.
MCR is a fine band, but they're pop punk, not Emo
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/my-chemical-romances-gerard-way-taps-another-nail-into-emo-coffin-101867/I thought he said this in their early days but it actually was after Black Parade kek
>>130570011MCR are not emo, they wanted to be like a pop version of the Misfits or the Cramps.
>>130570011They're not emo and they have never described their music as such. They're emo influenced, however.
>>130570011They fuck arses
>>130574693I thought there was an interview where Gerard was asking "why the fuck would anyone call us emo?" saying that MCR isn't comparable at all to bands like Sunny Day Real Estate.
>>130574714He's been asked about the emo thing in a couple of interviews so yeah that probably happened too.
