Possible reasons for liking my chemical romance

I feel...: just kinda there

'Kay, more venting...
I've recently been totally obsessed with all things My Chemical Romance. Why? Good question. So I was looking them up everywhere online, and I found this quote by Gerard:
· "If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about." And that explained a lot. Also, they're just a really cool group of people from what I gather. Gerard does stuff to raise money for searching for a cure for breast cancer (a cause near and dear to my heart -- no pun intended); Mikey worked at a bookstore, where he got the band's name from the title of a book; Frank likes the Harry Potter series (!); Ray, according to bandmates on "Life on the Murder Scene" just cares about the music, he doesn't care about the fame or success, it's all about the music; and as for the drummers, I like Matt's talent, but I like what the other band members are saying about Bob.
And I found a quote (again by Gerard) which kind of somehow explains to me what I said last entry:
· "That's what happens when you're all borderline psychotic and therein lies the beauty of this band - our duality. There's a duality to each band member too. There's a desire to have this constant conflict. If we write a write a song and it turns out really poppy, we have to make the lyrics really fucked up. There's psychosis to everything we do for sure. One day we're probably gonna write this number one pop tune that will be about a massacre!"
May or may not make sense to you. It will if you're "the girl with the broken smile," anyway (you know who you are). So yeah.
That is all.
