A band from New Jersey that's genre is "disputed" according to Wikipedia. What this means is that emos don't like to be described as "emo" and therefore deny any remotely accurate description the music they listen to, instead defiling other genres such as "punk", "rock" or even "metal".
I used to be one of those people who just laughed their ass off at how emo My Chemical Romance was, without even listening to them. Then I gave them a try and now I can assuredly say that their music is emotional, angsty, whiny and loud. The band has been known to describe their music as "violent, dangerous pop" which may be very accurate; the band is very self centered in their emotions which they whore out to the masses. The quintessential reality of the matter is that My Chemical Romance is very good at appealing to their massive audience, which requires that they be good at faking emotions.
Some people enjoy their music and others don't. But it all comes down to My Chemical Romance giving impressionable children a bandwagon to ride on and a bad name to people who they are trying to be like. Common misconceptions are "goth", "punk" and "hardcore". The zeitgeist of their bandwagon combined with the lack of intelligence of many of their younger fans can result in misunderstandings, misgivings and ultimately: misinfluences.
Often, when describes My Chemical Romance as "punk rock", "pop punk", or "alternative rock", they may be actually trying to make themselves sound cool while at the same time being "emotional" or "deep".
They may even be listening to the secret musical genre "emo".

A dreadful band that
a)is headed by a guy who looks like a clammy corpse
b)is painfully obvious (e.g. I'm Not Okay. Way to throw all subtlety OUT THE WINDOW. And maybe that's what they were going for, but it isn't too clever. At all.)
c)has the most annoying, rabid fans on the face of the earth
d)gives a bad name to rock music, in general
My Chemical Romance doesn't deserve anyone's devotion.

Chase, you are a true retard.
1. Simple Plan blows. Hard.
2. People are entitled to opinions, so saying "Shut up" doesn't make My Chemical Romance suck any less penis.
3. Not neccesarily to Chase, but they are NOT death rock. Whoever said that is wrong.
4. It says a lot about your musical taste if you listen to Simple Plan.
5. I agree with everyone else who said they are just another teeny-bopper whiny band.
In conclusion, you suck. And before you try to even come up with a response, fuck you.
MCR sucks a ton. Just like Simple Plan and all of your MTV shit. No one is jealous of them, because they sold out. And I know people who are 12 and 13 that can whoop the shit out of MCR with a couple of their songs.

My Chemical Romance could quite possibly be the most biggest steaming pile of human excrement to ever be fired from the ever powerful cannon that is the US Music Market. To say that MCR are not even slightly emo would be so laughably innacurate it would make Kim Jong Il roll over with guffaws, but never has it been so in your face.
If you ever disagree with Gerard Way's "Were not emo" sense of music, prepared to be bashed by his MCR followers who will through EVERYTHING at you to make you change your mind.
Kids, do yourself a favour, dont buy this 'not emo' crap, by some decent music.
Fan: my chemical romance are not emo are they?
Gerard: No totally not, i just have an obsession with death.
Other Guy: Isnt that the slightest bit emo?

A fucking gay wannabe emo pile of shit band. They suck arse. And their not death metal. Their just a bunch of pussy boys who like wearing make up. They sing pussy songs just like Green Gay. Real death metal is more like Children of Bodom. Half the fuckers who listen to EMO... I mean... 'MCR' are probably totally afriad of death themselves. Go suck gods cock.
Get fucked losers.
Losers: my chemical romance are the best band in the world!!
Children of Bodom: Go and taste my scythe.
