Couples First Time Hearing - My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade Reaction.. 

Please don't listen to anyone telling you this isn't rock music. There are many subgenres of rock music, this is one of them. Some people are just snobby about it. This whole album is really good and is a concept album around the main character dying from cancer.

This isn't a song. It's an anthem.

Gerard Way's voice is nothing but pure emotion! MCR is my favorite band. You completely nailed the meaning

I always kinda liked this song, but 7 years ago I went to visit my dad in the hospital and we learned he had advanced liver cancer. When I got in my truck to leave I turned on the radio and this song started, like insane perfect timing. My dad died three days later at home and this song gets to me every time I hear now. Love it and miss you Pops!

One thing many people miss in this video... I did too for a long time... In the beginning, when the patient is dying. The nurses are there, but no loved ones... No family. The album that this song is from (The Black Parade) is a concept album. Every song in the album tells a part of the story of the patient coming to terms with his imminent death from cancer. Through the songs you learn why he is alone at the end. In this song, he is at the point where he finally accepts his fate. As he crosses over, Death comes to greet him in the form of his favorite memory. That of a parade he saw with his father. In this parade he is finally joined by other souls and is no longer alone. Then Death tells him that... Although his life wasn't perfect... It was a life worth being remembered. And his memory will live on. Admittedly I may not be 100% on point with it all... But from what I have gathered from listening to the album quite a few times and from interviews I have heard with the band... I think I am pretty close. As for those who say it isn't rock?!... Well it is a sub genre and it isn't for everybody. Emo... Or maybe Emo Rock... I am actually a good bit older than most people into this kind of music (born in 1970) and only discovered this band a few years ago... But this band... More specifically this album.. is among some of the greatest stuff out there in my opinion.

the smile he had the whole song made my day!

This is an Emo (rock) Anthem. I recommend everyone look into the meaning of this album - Wendigoon did an amazing video on it a few years ago. Your appreciation for the album will go to crazy levels.

This is the Millennial’s version of Bohemian Rhapsody and even further MCR is our generations Queen. Imo. Only coming from a place of love and respect. ❤

I love listening to this song and my daughter playing it on the piano ❤

There's so many layers to this song. When you grow up, will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the danned? Gets me every time

She totally understood the whole meaning of the song 😮

This song is like the national anthem for us 90's kid. Not all but some.

🖤 love you steph n jay!! This was a big song when I was in High school in the UK and people were bullied for being "emo, mosher, goth" or anyone who felt they didn't fit in. We took pride in being different. It's sort of our fed up anthem 🤣

I find it fascinating how many people default to this is a song about dying happy and without regrets. That is a common hopeful message but that isn't what this is about. This is about a person who struggled through life, made poor decisions, turned their back on loved ones and hated the world for their cancer. This song is about accepting their death even though they still want to live. It's about their most precious childhood memory of going to see a matching band and that becoming an allegory for death, then the voice of death reassuring them that their memory will carry on, and even while they're accepting these words they still scream I don't care showing their struggles to accept death. At least that's what I think.

"Sing" is a really beautiful song and cinematic music video of theirs I highly recommend

This used to play all the time in the bars when I was in college!

Im 46 and I rock this music. Age is a number. Mind is everything.

I’ve been listening to this band for over twenty years. They have gotten me though a lot. This album came out at the same time my grandfather passed away, so I will forever think of him when I hear it. This band is my generation’s Queen. 100%

I think you guys were the first people to really get it. Great reaction! New subscriber!

Love you guys thanks for reacting to my music of my youth..bless you guys

I’m so glad you’re not dismissing it as just emo teen bullshit. If you’re gonna do more (please do more), I highly recommend “Famous Last Words” or “The Ghost of You”!

GREAT REACTION. 1ST TIME I HEARD THIS. I HAD TO GO FIND THE NEAREST WHITE BOY I SAW AND ASKED "WHO IS THIS" LOL

Great reaction, I think you captured the meaning of the song…

The whole album is a kind of Rock Opera. Think Meat Loaf when Jim Steinman was writing the music. Everything interlinked.

Mcr got me through high school ♡

Love this song

this album and this band got me through a lot of things, especially this song. I know it may be tough ask, but i would love to see your reaction to Good Charlotte's song Hold On. It has a VERY powerfull message.

I *love* concept albums. This whole album is really great.

Amazing concept album. I recommend you check out their song Ghost of You next.

Great analysis! I was not sure about the medal but I agree with you!Thx made it more meaningful!

Oh please do their song and video for “Helena”!

Love the intro. Great tribute to the song.

Great to see you two again!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

love your reaction, lemme go watch more of yall's videos! hah!

I agree too this group amazing they there so good yep 👍🏼

The frontman- Gerard way is very talented. He also wrote and co produced the umbrella academy tv series

And I loved your reaction, imsorry didnt say ❤

Definitely a different type of parade, but we march with you nonetheless.

Ive been a fan of MCR for a few years now. Gerard Ways voice is perfection. if you get time listen to "Blood" "Teenagers" or "I dont love you" actually any of their songs make me wanna throw my panties at Gerard on stage.

Please react to the Progressive Metal Band called Enigmatic Infinity. Song: A Disquieting Letter

Please react to "cancer" by the same band. Incredible lyrics

Seriously, y’all should do Creeping death by Metallica concert Moscow 1991 1.6million people in attendance they performed for

I love y’all

Fun fact; Andrew Lloyd Webber likes this song

Steph gets prettier & prettier

Lol I’m in my early 30s this song brings back so many memories MCR ❤

Will carry on!
