Mindless Self Indulgence - You'll Rebel To Anything Lyrics 

this song is not to shame people with actual depression. it's about people who ACT like they are depressed to get attention and who say they are depressed because their boyfriend broke up with them or because they couldn't find the dress they wanted or something

emo is a genre of music, that became a lifestyle and stands for emotionally hardcore, and yes sum do do it for attentiion, theyre like, yer lets be emo then well be cool, not all emos r self harmers and not all self harmers are emos, ive met people who slit their wrist so they can show it to people and shock them, i love emo music and clothes etc, and i live it, but im also very happy mosta the time :D

@fkinged i was referring to the people that MSI are referring to in this song. I always thought it was about crazy ass teenagers who say they're gonna be self destructive, but really they're full of shit. aka emo/goth/scene kids i know they're not scene i love msi

This song is PERFECT for this dude in my class. It should be his theme song. >.>

I don't think they're talking about a GROUP of people, but indivauls who crave attention.

@Dragonofether Really the last thing a person into the gothic subculture would do would say "I"m a goth". Giving yourself a label is part of the problem. Not the solution.

@MrEmoGamingUK True and the proper term is cuter, emo is a music genre why don't poeple get it?

@CEALofDeath Ah, I see. I understand, sorry for attacking you. But to me when I read it I took offence. 'Cause I just got off a lot of MSI videos and so much people are talking shit about them. And it bothers, like if you don't like a band don't be rude.

I don't think that Jimmy would ever describe himself as a lyrical genius, but Jimmy is A FUCKING LYRICAL GENIUS.

I think it's ad that a lot of people are missing the point of this song. It's not them "covering their insecurities" or "trying to shame a particular audience that wont even listen to this". It's just them venting their frustrations about certain people in a brutally honest way. It's what they've always done and will continue to do.

Jimmy is everything I want to be in life.

When we listen to this song we all think of that one friend and if you can't think of that friend then you are most likely that fucking friend

Why are there so many good Msi songs??? They are like blood on the dance floor but good

Gr8 song but MY EYES

This reminds me of belibers...

I love how I can do homework and listen to MSI and concentrate.

I always thought it sounded like he says "You need a unicorn."

whaat? D; She's married to Gerard Way and they've had a kid called Bandit Lee Way :|

Omg I love MSI I saw them last year (: There fucking amazing. He got loads of people up on stage to sing it lol (:

I'm 44 and this music speaks to me.

I would LOVE to dedicate this to some kid I know who always has SOME sort od problem. Haha, I would love to see his reaction after I send this to him and explain it.

Gawd, I should show this to my friend. He NEEDS to hear it. Emo bastard has an awesome life and tells us he hates his life and wishes it would end.

I love this song.. it feels like it was written exactly about someone i know...

This is talking about emos, but probably more specifically adolescents or people who complain that they're lives are tough when really we all go through the same stuff and no one wants to hear you complain.

there's always that one person everyone knows thats like this. when listening to this you all have one person in mind... some of you are thinking: "no i disagree" WELL YOU'RE THE PERSON!!

I can't believe I'm seeing comments here that are 12 years old, this is so weird T-T

I like the tune and how the singer's voice goes with the beat- however I really don't like all the hate him and all of his fans are spreading XDD I honestly find the whole thing silly. Why can't we just let people do what they do and live our own lives and NOT rag on other people for their own faults and flaws? 'Cause God knows we've all got our own. Anyway, in nutshell, awesome beat and tune, and I'm just here for the music man XDD

O__O OMG!!!! This is my response to those whiny Emos i have to deal with everyday!!!! TY MSI

You're only as emo as you think you are and only really emo if you actually have a problem with that because you can't help how people see you some kids are emo or emotional as the word is short for and they don't look it or seem it some aren't at all and just like to dress a certain way and are called emo but oh well life goes on good song either way I guess!!

well actually aboot is canadian way of saying about :P its not like the mistyped ''teh'' and who the hell ever even heard of yhoo or yew thats just weird...... lol stop making stuff up :P btw if you use lul its a curse word in dutch people in holland said lul .. to make other ppl that dont understand it look like fools...dont ask me why..too much arrogance nowadays i guess.

rofl i walked up to random people at school and said "boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one who's life's a piece of shit and yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists in fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit." all in one sentance with no pauses >.> THAT WAS FUN

The point of this song is to shame people who actively seek attention through bitching about how much their life sucks. Killing yourself defeats the entire point of what this is about. So no, this cannot be applied to Amanda Todd.

@Futur3sailoR I believe they're refering to people acting like Emos for not utter reason, when their life isnt even bad.saying that, no one actualy means what they say when they insult us "emos, goths or punk biatch" if you get where Im coming from xD

This song is so sincere that it almost makes me wanna cry.

DAMN!!!! This hard to sing along to!!!!! xD

@omgxlikexhi well no, if you were to have read the lyrics (which are on the video) then you would have realised that they are actually being used to make fun of the attention seekers you were describing.

Gosh, this song so fits how emos are. Not trying to start a fight. But it's true, we deal with our issues not cry about them. By the way, don't bother responding with insults, I'll just ignore them.

lmao, dude i was joking about the snow... why u feel the need to reply anyway? got some kinda help please.. :P i got friends from canada.. i simply ask a question to know the truth..lol

Simply put, this song is designed to shame a particular audience and yet that audience is not likely to listen to this particularly song, rather the only ones who will listen to this are those who agree with the point of view put forth and as this is the case it is a redundant piece.

@xPeziix its hard i trained myself to sing that fast i actually slowed down most of their songs if he sings at a normal speed they are all like 4-5 minutes

I just love how they are calling out all of these ppl who fake haveing issues just to get noticed Jimmys like do it fucking do it you won't thats what i thought

@Sunderland4745 Haha i know, right? It's a right slap in the face. :|

Some fans may not like Lynz or Gerard. I personally can't stand Lynz but I do like MSI. Some people are just idiots.

Same here. About everything. Actually I know A LOT of people who need to hear this. Just about everyone in my school actually.

I used to listen to this all the time when I was with my ex... XD

three words just continue to pass across my mind as i listen to this song.....my!chemical!romance! and it fits perfectly

This describes a fan from every fanbase, not just BOTDF. Every fanbase has a few piece of shit fans

Why don't people like "hiphop"? Eminem and 50cent aren't "hiphop" so why people hate something they don't know?

why for some "scaty reasons" its music u kno wat dont even answer just ignore this id rathr not get an answer

@merched1 Waheyy! :P *High fives back ;D* Love itttt :P!!

dude... i was practically born with clinical depression i rarely show it but a lot of people know that i have it and that im bi-polar im not saying it for attention im saying it because its true... you dont need shit to go wrong to lose your cool it can be something youre born with like any other mental issue and when i say issue i dont mean to insult anyone with a mental issue... i mean it is something that your brain is doing to fuck with you

Dear god.. I've been blinded by my one real friendship with a girl for atleast 5 years, I listened to this song and she somehow managed to get in my head. It was hilarious at first, because I was thinking 'the fuck?' Then after we started fighting more and having to hear her problems I relized this song had more meaning then I thought it did. (insert total graditude twards MSI and asks for an appilcation to be an offical stalker)

@StarrSprinklez Wow, you have no idea WHAT you're talking about (also your grammar is terrible). Yes, Emo is a genre of music, but the number one defining stereotype of the Emo Kid is their cutting and 'suicidal' tenancies. Most of the time they're being over dramatic and have no legitimate problems. Considering these were my friends-of-choice and /I/ identified as Emo only 2 years ago, I think I know what I'm talking about. Also, you forgot about the Scene, Goth, and Punk kids.

@chromaticxangel Um. Actually it is about emos, goths, punks... People who want to seem dark, deep and edgy, whining about all their little problems then threatening to off or cut themselves over such insignificant issues. I mean, you don't HAVE to be Emo, Goth, Punk, Scene or whatever in order to act like that, but it's directed at them, since they're the top offenders. Kids who think they have ALL OF THE PROBLEMS and THEIR LIVES SUCK because they're SO DIFFERENT.

@BlondiixJill The whole tune sums up people in general perfectly. lol i dont like to read too much into lyrics and dont believe in the bigger underlying meaning my best songs that I wrote were done through being bored high or drunk :) if you need to find your creative soul, live in Norwich for a year, get some acid or something LOL (i joke) but still great tunes. so what other songs you like?

@reveth739 Live your life to the fullest and do everything your able too and do what makes you happy. Follow your goals, strive to be triumphant at some point in it. Then one day after a "hopeful" long life you can look back and reminisce about all the things you did. Possibly with family, and one day die a happy man or woman. I mean really if you try your best what more could a human can do.." Not perfect by a long shot.

I personally find it hilarious that people put labels on themselves to justify the way they act and dress.... As if they have to prove something to someone. "I'm Goth cuz I wear all Black." or "I'm Punk because I have a Mohawk." One day you'll learn People are People, they all do the same shit. Whether they be goth, punk, prep, emo, jock..etc.. You all grow up to do the exact same thing. Get a job, Make money and maintain a home foundation. If that isn't "conforming", then I don't know what is.

What's with all the fighting? just give your opinion, you don't have to target groups while you do it. Instead of saying the song is about 'Emos', 'Goths', 'Scene' etc. think about what it's really saying, no groups are mentioned in it cos it's not really about a single group. It's about attention seekers. people who want to get noticed. People who are considered goth or emo are the way they are because they are expressing their personality. the song is about wannabes. Thats just my opinion

@Rosewater66 OMFG! I was just thinking "I'm 46 and I feel like slamdancing again" WTF. These kids aren't bad. Little gimmicky now and again with the "reallyfastImustbesayingsomethingcoolrightnowbecauseyoucanbarelymakeoutthewords" stuff. That reminds me of someone a while back. Korn or Disturbed maybe? It works well but they overuse it a little. The lead singer has some amazing Choral talent he sneaks in now and again. If it's in too many more songs I won't notice it again.

@OurLadyOFSorrows96 yeh i get you! i mean i know this person and they have a reeealy good life! but compared to me (cuz my life ant the best in the world but i live with it) and htey are always complaing about it. like og there dad is an asshole and stuff but there dad is awesome they just what atecnchion. D< i mean i have huge scars which im really ashalmed off all the way up my arms i only just got help for my problems and thats because i broke down in one of my classes . now im better :D

@Megumiruu This proves you're superior to the rest of the people commenting how? To quote Wharficron you sound incredibly pretentious, you bring up how this is insignificant in the"span of the universe"yet do you truly think your life will have any long lasting impact?So?Your life might have an impact beyond your own time living, yet will be just as insignificant in the "span of the universe". Oh, and "desk job holding", inherently meaning I have a job, means I'm a burden on my community?Kthxbye

a solid two years of my life were like that (hating yourself and your life) both because of things at my high school and at my home but i admit i was visibly depressed, and even got called an emo (even though i had blonde hair and never went near my wrists with anything sharp) but i just got on with life and eventually things got better. If i seem pissed at people who cut it's not because i hate them it's because it pisses me off to see them degrading themselves like that, they're better than it

off the top of my head heres a few reasons the cultures are \fundmentally different. for one how many emos do you see that are adults ? thats one factor because the goth culture ranges form ages anyway where between 16 to i have known over 45 year old goths. This means that emo is a very teen thing whiuch is one reason why they clash. another reason why they clash is well i coudlt say what the emos culture is suppsoed to be based on but to be goth means simply " black and uninspired"

Honestly, I still don't think this song is just directed at anyone who tries/wants to kill themself, and then when they do attempt to do it, they don't. So the "bottle of poison" thing = no time to regret! Haha, no but seriously. It's not directed at emos. I dress emo, listen to emo music, and hey, you can call me emo, but I'm more then happy with my life. My pessimest attitude gets me far in life. So not all 'emos' are like that. But maybe it's just me.

It doesnt snow here all the time, Aboot is NOT the official way to say it and NOONE says it here, and yes some people DO belive we live in igloos, I once talked to this person in brazil and she thought there was no farms because the ground was frozen over all year. You wouldnt know any of this unless you lived in Canada, so GTFO my internets and out of my Canada, you american stereotype.

i dont think MSI are talking about people that appear to be emo, like people who cut themselves etc (which i dont think is emo, its an issue and shouldnt be judged).... they are talking about people who ARE emo, people who say they cut themselves but dont, complain to the whole entire world that their life sucks even when its clearly a fraction of what other people have, and people who do cut themselves, but to get a certain look, bascially posers.

Well I don't think that-alot of my friends dress in the emostyle but they are no way a cutter. I clearly state I'm talking about the ones who do it for attention and attention only, and instead of talking to someone who could help they talk to someone who doesn't care or will turn it against them. I state there's a difference between these people and people who cut themselves because they really don't know how to handle something. For God's sake I've cut

He's so totally talking about the emos/cutters of the modern teenage generation. Lol I'm also in this generation, and they piss me off. People who cut themselves because they seriously have no idea how to handle their problems? Well, they need help. Duh. But I think he's more talking about the posers who will walk up to random people and say "I'm going to cut myself," the ones who do it for attention, I mean, who have seriously NO real problems.

In this song, Jimmy Urine is not singing about emos or anything like that. He's singing about ANYONE who is bitching or complainin,or threatening self harm because they aren't getting the attention they want. Some preps self harm, some emos self harm. Someone from EVERY label self harms. And it's the same with complaining. Jimmy Urine and MSI are just putting this song out there to those people to say, SHUT THE FUCK UP, WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE!

mcr are emo as hell, signs: 1) Songs overly dramatic about killing yourself if someone doesn't love you. 2) Black Parade? that which emos believe is heaven? they wrote a song about it. 3) The lyrics involve traumatic stuff that happened in their lives, and they then continue to sing that they slit their wrists and stuff because of it, but they infact didnt. I could go on, but MCR have even admitted to being an "Emo" band themselves. Watch their interview in calofornia i think it was 2006?

I like the way absolutely none of you are aware this is a rip-off of a Dead Milkmen song. Bloody kids.

@JuggalettexSpaz It's only used because it's the most serious swear word, to draw attention to their oh-so important opinion that everyone cares about. And by the way when I used the C-word I was just quoting the moron who unjustifiably insulted the whole planet, if I wanted to swear it'd be more imaginative, like unicorn turd or something.

@4DM677 haha you just did it. You said "MSI, Creature Feature, and Disturbed for life!!" like your music is the only good music. Then earlier in tour comment you dissed pop and hip hop. It's okay for something to have a lot of fans, you know. Nobodies copying each other, it's just music. Way to be a hypocrite.

@Babkockdood Wow...just wow...while I realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, please, don't misconstrue mine. I don't want Gerard Way to be punched in the mouth. I like My Chemical Romance AND Mindless Self Indulgence. I'm not a rabid fan girl over either. I just thought that it was a funny coincidence.... O_O

@Elemenoe22 Well, no. Some grow up to hit the road. Some die before they grow up, for varied reasons. Some don't do the home life and do the deadbeat thing. Life's a bogglingly varied process(the term's so simple it's practically insulting), so I doubt everyone's life is gonna pour into the same damn mold.

@feefafo I think people should stop labeling themselves entirely. Just be ourselves and stop worrying about what this or that label says we can like and what we cant. How we dress and how we talk. Its just silly to let the media tell us how to act. And if anyone thinks they arent under the influence of the media they're just plain naive.

This song fits my old friend perfectly! Especially the lyrics: "boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whos live's a piece of shit. and yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it. Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists? In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit."

Or we could just be ourselves and make a louder statement by saying nothing and going on with our lives..... but that`s just my opinion, it annoys the hell out of me when people try to ask me for answers on a test just because of my glasses and braces. Truth is, I`m not really THAT smart... I just have bad teeth and an astigmatism.

I'm a Mixture of Skinhead/Metalhead/Goth but seriously all Skinheads, Metalheads , Goths, Emo's, Punks Need to unite against the ever annoying number of Jocks,Yuppies, Hippies, Lads/Chavs, & other assorted Idiots & stop bagging out someone who is not in the same Alternative Subculture as you WPWW1483

I love this song...there are WAAAAAYYY too many people that I wish I could say those things to. It`s like it`s their job to take a crap on your day by telling a million things that are wrong with their lives, like they`re the only ones with issues....JUST CHEER THE FUCK UP!! AT LEAST YOU HAVE FOOD AND SHELTER!!

ok...for one...emo is a type of music..then it became a style...its got nothin to do with cutting yourself so stop steriotyping and just get over yourselves...stop being ignorant and arrogant....this song is not about emos its all about people who do anything to get attention and its ridiculous to even think all emos do...

I´m an Emo and dont cut myself! Thats such a nonsense to say this! ^^ By the why I love this Song =D

@Rosewater66 you know jimmy urine (lead singer of this band) is like 41 or sumtin ya it shocked me to

you hear that? that's the sound of my mind being blown.

@NexCarnifex No, what I meant was that bands members, in general have a tendency to be really close to their band-mates. Saying that Jimmy looks at Lynz as a little sister type person in terms of the band, as some people will with friends, isn't a bad conjecture. lol No, I realize they aren't related.

@felthrian omg im so sorry i didnt think that my comment was a cry for attention i was quite immature about it then...i didnt think at the time, like i was seriously immature ive had therapy and that...note to self stop commenting on things that are 11 months old :D

you were wrong that "life sucks like that" also yes its a fucking fad and it FAILS!!! its so stupid complaining about a life you have thats so easy while others are in pain i dont fucking complain about life i fucking enjoy and i love this song because of that fact and that its the shit

I honestly think you just wanna be different, but don't wanna feel too different so you cling to a trend. Emo is bullshit, and when it fades, the emos will all just be normal again, it's not who you really are, if it was you wouldn't be basing your fashion around other people's.

Well I mean not all emos are THAT bad, in fact alot of them aren't nesacarily emo, they're just odd (not an insult) people who thought that leaning towards the emo side would be fun or something. I just think emo music is awful, and the fashion and attitude makes me sick. MSI is great tho

Exactly!! It`s about people being so wrapped up in their own depression and issues that they hurt themselves....even if they don`t mean it. Just because someone wears black and eyeliner doesn`t always mean they`re self-absorbed wrist-cutters. Black IS slimming you know.

@Rosewater66 gosh what id give if my dad was like you :3

Ironic considering that those who this song is designed to shame aren't actually likely to listen to this song rather the audience who listens to this will more likely to be those who agree with it and thus defeating the purpose of the song ^_^'

Really? I mean I like some MSI and all...but blast this? I'm more keen on blasting FFDP or something alike. I just heard this song today, and while it holds a good message, I can't say I'm a fan of it. I like songs like Due, Never wanted to dance, Stupid MF, Issues, Shut me up, and Get it up. Even On it is kinda catchy. To each his own I guess tho but I only blast Hard Rock / Metal *shrug*

I don't think this song is specifically aimed at 'scene' or 'emo' people. I think it's more about people who whine about their problems when they don't really have anything to complain about. You don't have to be an emo to whinge.

this song is so right boo hoo your not the only one whos lifes A piece of shit and yet miraculously we all seem to deal with it i hate when people bitch and moan WE ALL HAVE PROBEMS I DONT NEED TO HERE ABOUT YOURS WHEN I GOT ENOUGH OF MY OWN

yeah, that's what " I " thought. Everybody's life sucks, but it's how we deal with that fact that defines who we really are. The point to having a shitty life is so we can learn and mature. And yeah, for some reason, this song was kinda catchy.

You are right. And I like how it says that those kinds of ppl shpould grow up and deal with it cause it's stupid to just sit around and say you hate your life. I mean, if you hate it so much, then why don't you try to even make an effort at making it better?

these guys say some preety deep shit. you should really take the time to understand what you listen to before you go nuts for something. dont just look in the surface, look within and beyond. these guys are triying to tell you something.

I SEE THE LYRICS. O_O but where the fuq does it say that its talking about EMO PPL? Becuz they "cut" and "complain about their lives and problems?" Its just a COOL song but it is NOT ALL ABOUT "emos" b/c not all of them complain and cut...O_O
