My Chemical Romance have become the figureheads of emo, thanks to Daily Mail readers, the emo-hating middle-England press and, well, partly themselves, if we're being honest. But MCR frontman Gerard Way ain't having none of it, dissing the genre and distancing his band from it, saying: "Emo is a pile of shit, fucking garbage", and adding that he believes that MCR are unfairly lumped in with the emo sect. All sounds a bit whiney and, ahem, emo to me.
