Musical style and influences
My Chemical Romance's general style has been categorized as "alternative rock",[42][43] "post-hardcore",[42] "punk revival",[42] "pop punk"[42] and, most controversially, "emo".[42][44][45] The band's official website describes their music as simply "rock" or "violent, dangerous pop".[46] Gerard Way has publicly rejected the term "emo", describing the genre as "fucking garbage".[47][48] However, Way has reportedly also described the band's style as "What-else-ya-got-emo".[4]
Way said to Rolling Stone, "we love bands like Queen, where it's huge and majestic, but also bands like Black Flag and the Misfits, who would go absolutely crazy." Way has stated that the band is heavily influenced by Queen, Misfits, Black Flag, Iron Maiden, The Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Smiths/Morrisey.[49] Way has also said that his band patterns their career after that of The Smashing Pumpkins, another band they admire.[50]
