I hated them because they were super popular and everyone else loved them. I avoided them completely until someone told me about the band's love of comics. And, well, I'm a comic-geek (I'll admit it), so I couldn't resist checking them out after that. I watched 'I'm Not Okay' on youtube and was just like, "dammit, they're good..."
There's no such thing as a "true" fan anyways of bands. You like them or you don't like them, you don't need to abide by rules to be a fan of a band. Like those stupid 10 commandment things that 1 in every 3 mibba user has on their profile. Or "You're a true fan if..." things. Stupid pointless shit those things are.
Mega lolz. Because what you're saying, to me, is like saying so a 14 year old whos into the Beatles, "You're a poser because you weren't a fan around when they released Sgt Pepper." Or saying to me, "You're a poser because you weren't a fan of Michael Jackson when he released Off the Wall 21 years before you were born" I'm sorry but saying someone can't be a fan of MCR because they only recently (well its been a year now but w/e) got into them is just ridiculous. It's great that you knew about them back around Bullets, but clearly, with their not-so-world-wide fame at the time, not everyone was gonna hear about it.
TBH, when I first heard Im Not Okay, I thought "who the fuck is this fatty telling me he's not ok?!"] But I wouldn't consider myself less of a fan just because, in 2004 I was more interested in Prince and Michael Jackson.
Hey, its not my fault the guys put out a very bad album. Its actually decent when you hear it for the very first time, but considering they haven't put out any new songs/videos from the album, the CD is just going to waste.
My fave songs: Bullets: head first for halos and drowning lessons Revenge: Thank you for the venom, you know what they do to guys like us in prision Black Parade: Mama and Dead
If you were a TRUE fan, you would stay with them through thick and thin, good times and bad, good MUSIC and bad. I didn't think a My Chem fan could be this mean.
