CULTURAL IMPACT

My Chemical Romance rose from the East Coast underground to the forefront of modern rock in the early 2000s with their emo-punk songwriting, theatrical vocals, and neo-goth appearance. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, their platinum-selling sophomore album and major-label debut, catapulted them to mainstream success in 2004. Two years later, they released The Black Parade, an ambitious rock opera that went triple platinum and featured the hit singles "Welcome to the Black Parade," "Famous Last Words," and "Teenagers."

Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, a narrative-driven album released in 2010, introduced '70s power pop, psych rock, and proto-punk elements to the group's sound. My Chemical Romance officially disbanded in 2013, but reformed in 2019 for a reunion show in Los Angeles and a brief tour abroad. They released their first song in eight years, the sprawling "Foundations of Decay," in 2022.
