This shrine is dedicated to my feelings for My Chemical Romance, a band that saved my life multiple times and still does. (PS: this is not a shrine about the band itself). My first contact with it was in 2015, when a friend shared a funny picture of all the members in the Revenge Era, and I got curious cause I never saw those people before.

funny picture of all the members in the Revenge Era, and I got curious cause I never saw those people before.I believe their first song I listened to was WTTBP, obviously, and I immediately fell in love with the band's visuals and the powerful message of acknowleging my despair at the time and also providing me hope. I was going through very dark times, and was beginning to explore my gender identity and expression. I've been a fan of screamo for a few years, and immediately fell in love with Gerard's, Ray's and Frank's voices. They sound so angelic and raw and it makes me tear up a bit.
Unfortunately, as of 2025, I became disenchanted (haha get it lolz XD) with the band, and

before you get mad at me, I'll explain why. As a matter of fact I was absolutely hyped with the return tour and the WWWY2 shows, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for them to announce that they would come back once again and not retire just yet, because I was betting every last drop of my mental health on that. A matter of 5u1c1d3 postponed!! (/meme) if you will (jokes aside my mental health in 2024 was shit). Then they posted the teaser and the hints. My heart could handle that!! The excitement!!!! Soviet Brutalism and a fictional alphabet??? You bet this was gonna be the best thing in my life like. ever. besides my partners ofc. When I tell you my world was shattered (/neg) when they basically said Stalin bad bc socialism = fascism? NUH UH. That moment I watched all my heroes sell a car on TV /ref .
