Gerard Way Blasts Mexican Anti-Emo Violence

Gerard Way — our favorite emo man child and My Chemical Romance frontman — took to the stage at Zero Fest in Mexico City to confront concert-goers about escalating attacks on people who have “an emo look.”

“I want to say something today before we continue. Recently we’ve been hearing a lot of stuff about some violence here in your country having to do with kids who want to wear black t-shirts… or some kind of bullshit stuff like that. We don’t want to see any fucking violence. We came here for one reason, and that’s to be at the fucking rock show.”

To all our Mexican readers: Welcome. No gusto My Chemical Romance.

Mexico isn’t american dumb ass. They have no freedom, look at that country, their a freakin 3rd world country. What a stupid ass rich emo kid. I’d like to see Gerard spend the night in a Mexican prison. God willing they’ll do use all a favor and forget about him while in the joint.

About time someone mentioned this problem! God, Gerard is such a good person.
On 04/17/08 4:55 PM, Katie the NonConformist said:

BY THE WAY, Gerard grew up in the ghettos of New Jersey and was the wierd loner kid in school, NOT a stupid little rich emo kid.

That’s a really cute picture of Gerard
On 04/17/08 8:31 PM, Dylan said:

Wait, isn’t he just preaching to the choir?
On 04/17/08 8:33 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

He doesn’t even LIKE emos and he wants people to stop fucking with them. That shows what a great guy he is.
On 04/17/08 8:38 PM, bueno said:

katie you are just a conformist to the non-conformist group.

you obviously do not have any credit to speak on this subject.
On 04/17/08 8:55 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Neither do you. And I’m not in a clique, I’m just me.

What’s emo? Who’s Gerard Way? Where’s Mexico?
On 04/17/08 9:02 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Emo = another clique in High School: a pussy version of goth
Gerard Way = frontman to the hit-band MY Chemical Romance
Mexico = country bordering the US to the south

On 04/17/08 11:35 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Gerard is just trying to stop people from attacking eachother, and he gets shit for that? You guys are so narrow-minded and judgemental it’s not even funny.
On 04/18/08 12:46 AM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Well it pisses me off!
On 04/18/08 1:48 AM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Mascara has always been in. And something should be done about this “fad” if kids are ending up with the living shit beat out of them. So they’re pussys. Big deal. Doesn’t mean they any less human than you are.

^^^My brain hurts

…wow
On 04/18/08 4:03 AM, Howard said:

Upon further inspection it turns out the “physical” violence was just a couple people looking meanly at dudes wearing girl’s pants. And some pinching.
Total overreaction.
Non-story.
Next subject.

On 04/18/08 6:05 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Well then the situation down in Mexico is a lot beeter than it is where I live. My friend Alec, he “looked emo” so this group of like 5 guys jumped him after school and he ended up having to go the hospital. Oh, and that’s not even the beggining. One of the guy videotaped it on his phone and put it on the internet. THAT is why this whole situation is bothering

Good job taking a stand in front of a bunch of people who speak a different language. Brave.
On 04/18/08 6:41 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Well at least he’s DOING something about it.
On 04/18/08 7:16 PM, other andy said:

katie, just out of curiosity, what are some of your other favorite bands?
On 04/18/08 7:31 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

There’s a lot. I like MCR, the Used, Atreyu, Aiden, 30 Seconds to Mars, the Sex Pistols, and Evanescence.
On 04/18/08 9:57 PM, Dylan said:

Jay, Joe…what about Roadside Monument?

Didn’t I tell you to stop posting links to pictures of ugly queers?
On 04/19/08 2:11 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

1. Did you actually think I was going to listen to you?
2. But don’t they look REALLY similar?
On 04/19/08 3:04 PM, Dylan said:

So, a lot of people look like that.
On 04/19/08 3:06 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Nuh uh!!!!
On 04/19/08 5:19 PM, Samantha said:

Katie..they really don’t look THAT similar. On the subject of this post though…like Dylan said, Way is preaching to the choir…Katie you shouldn’t idolize him for going up in front of emos and saying ‘don’t hurt emos’. This doesn’t make him a good person. And you say that at least he is doing something? Uhhhhh yeah fantastic, nice to see that he has put SO MUCH HARD WORK into this.
On 04/19/08 5:33 PM, Xxemo@heartxX said:

On 04/19/08 5:34 PM, Pimp dude said:

On 04/19/08 6:12 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Not everyone at an MCR concert is emo, Samantha. Stop being a judgemental bitch. And ALOT of celebrities don’t even mention these problems, so Gerard is doing a good thing.
On 04/19/08 6:30 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Oh come on!!! They look like they could be brothers!!!

On 04/19/08 7:07 PM, Samantha said:

Uhh…Katie…if some one said to me ‘Hey Sam! Where can I find an extremely high concentration of emos?’ I would point them to the nearest My Chemical Romance concert. And a lot (note that ‘a lot’ is two words) of celebrities DO try and help. In fact, they actually end up having an real impact on things that are actually important! Like genocide, cancer research, sponsorship of malnourished children…not this ‘save the emos’ garbage. For you to commend Gerard Way for something so miniscule is IGNORANT.
On 04/19/08 7:35 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Who here likes Schoolyard Heroes?
On 04/19/08 9:01 PM, KillerQueen said:

What the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking shithead? Did you go and take some of your mommy’s pills? No one gives a shit how much alike two faggots look from some shitty bands you like. Nor does anyone give a shit about *any* band you like.
On 04/19/08 9:40 PM, Dylan said:

But of all the people who beat up Emos in Mexico none of them are going to go see MCR, so it’s pointless for him to say anything about it. The real reason he would have to mention it is to make it seem like he knows something about Mexico and that he cares about his fans there, to establish a good connection with the audience.

“Remember, no matter what, you always say whatever town you’re in is the best damn town in the world.”
On 04/20/08 12:05 AM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

You know what, get over yourself KillerQueen. FUCK YOU. You assume all these things based SOLEY on the music I listen to. Why do you care so much about “these faggots in shitty bands” when you can go listen to music you DO like? WHY?
On 04/20/08 12:42 AM, Dylan said:

What I don’t understand is why you are even posting those pictures
On 04/20/08 12:43 AM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Why would I expect you to?
On 04/20/08 9:37 AM, Dr. Jones said:

Katie – nobody likes you, nobody wants you here, and your comedic value ran out a long time ago. It’s not funny anymore. Stop posting and go the fuck away.
On 04/20/08 11:20 AM, Samantha said:

Comedic value? Huhh? Clearly I missed the period when Katie could ever be considered humourous.
On 04/20/08 11:54 AM, KillerQueen said:

That’s the funny part. The stupid bitch isn’t even trying to be humorous and doesn’t even realize what a fucking joke she is.
On 04/20/08 12:03 PM, Dr. Jones said:

She was never funny. It was just amusing to laugh at her for a little while. That ended a long time ago. Now she’s just fucking annoying.
On 04/20/08 3:44 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

These posts just make me want to stay even more
On 04/20/08 4:03 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Is anyone else getting the idea that Samantha, KillerQueen, and Dr. Jones are the same person?
On 04/20/08 4:38 PM, Samantha said:

Ohh, I see…it was funny to laugh AT her. I thought for a minute that you meant she was actually funny. Does this make me as stupid as she is? Perhaps. Ugh. And no Katie, I don’t get the idea that we are all the same person. I get the idea that we are all more intelligent than you though, if that’s what you mean.
On 04/20/08 4:41 PM, Dylan said:

Actually, I wouldn’t discount her intelligence. She’s obviously smart enough to know just how to piss everybody off. but spam is spam, if you aren’t going to say anything that remotely has anything to do with the original post then why comment?
On 04/20/08 4:44 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Why, because I like MCR, that makes me stupid? How judgemental is that.
On 04/20/08 4:45 PM, Dr. Jones said:

You honestly think we’re all the same person, Katie? Is it really that inconceivable to you that more than one person in the world hates you, and thinks you’re an obnoxious little shit?
On 04/20/08 4:45 PM, Samantha said:

I didn’t say that you were stupid because you liked My Chemical Romance.
On 04/20/08 4:48 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

No. Just that whenever you post, it’s around the same time, and you usually just repeat the same shit over and over again.
On 04/20/08 5:46 PM, Fat Bastard said:

Honestly, I don’t get this is all about. I’m not from the USA and I’ve only seen MCR videos. I wasn’t impressed with either their music or their appearance. Nevertheless, it seems to me this Gerard person needed some time to apply more mascara and just had a brain fart to fill up time. No biggie, I’m sure nobody understood what he was saying and those who did, probably didn’t get it.

Maybe in a couple of years, after hitting puberty, he’ll have something worth saying during his mascara touch-ups, entill then… enjoy the insanity.
On 04/20/08 6:47 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

He doesn’t wear mascara. He prefers eyeliner
On 04/20/08 7:06 PM, Dr. Jones said:

He’s still a jizz-chugging queer either way.
On 04/20/08 7:10 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

He’s clean and sober.
He’s married. NEW DISCUSSION.

Well let’s go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can’t begin to let you know just what I’m feeling
And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I’ll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts

[Chorus]
And we’ll fly home
We’ll fly home
You and I
We’ll fly home

Come on!

Well now I’m back in the middle of the day that starts it all.
I can’t begin to let you know just what I’m feeling.
And now these red ones make me fly,
And the blue ones help me fall.
And I think I’ll blow my brains against the ceiling.

[Chorus]
And we’ll fly home,
You and I,
We’ll fly home.

Now honestly that’s what I said to her, what I said to her

Think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts
Think happy thoughts

Think ha… wooo!
On 04/20/08 9:05 PM, Samantha said:

Can you not? That’s so obnoxious. That and when you put links up. Makes me feel like kicking you in the face. What’s funny is that before, when Dr. Jones described Gerard Way as ‘jizz-chugging’…uh well it looks like you think that he was calling Way an alcoholic. That is HILARIOUS.
On 04/20/08 9:10 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Well EXCUSE ME for not being familiar with disgusting terms.
On 04/20/08 9:11 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

And WHY would you want to lick my face?
On 04/20/08 10:02 PM, Dylan said:

Yeah, this discussion is…going nowhere…I’m out
On 04/20/08 10:14 PM, Dr. Jones said:

alcoholic? more like cock-aholic. lolamirite?
On 04/20/08 10:19 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

No. Not really.
On 04/20/08 10:21 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

And as a matter of fact, Gerard was an alcohalic.
On 04/20/08 11:59 PM, Samantha said:

Lick your face?! No, KICK your face. Okay but seriously Katie…to get back on subject here…what sort of an impact do you really think he had by saying this. Seriously, tell me why this makes him so admirable.
On 04/21/08 8:05 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

Well, seings how not everyone who goes to an MCR is emo, he may have made some “punk” or “thrasher” stop from beating up little emo kids. That’s just an idea, though.
On 04/21/08 8:25 PM, Samantha said:

OMG U R SO RITE. He’s a fucking hero, yeah.
On 04/21/08 8:26 PM, Katie the Non-Conformist said:

1. I don’t type like that
2. I am right

On 04/22/08 2:34 AM, bueno said:

katie why do you keep applying labels to people?

since when were people more than just people.

its not different than saying my black friend or white friends.

you need to stop being racist and ignorant and just drop classifications because nobody is anything really.

im calling immigration tomorrow anyway.
On 04/22/08 4:51 PM, Katie said:

Alright, I was never judging anyone by race. And that’s why I used quotes. P.S. due to all the conraversy because of my screen name, I am just calling myself Katie now.
On 04/22/08 5:56 PM, Katie said:

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I also love being pounded ruthlessly in the ass with huge dripping cocks, just like Gerard Gay.
On 04/22/08 7:09 PM, Katie said:

That’s fucking gross. Comments like that are completely unnapreciated.
On 04/22/08 7:13 PM, Katie said:

Whoa!!!! Major Deja Vu!!!!
On 04/23/08 8:53 PM, Katie said:

So yeah. I’m bored.
On 04/24/08 7:07 PM, Katie said:

And yeah, just so everyone knows, I love the peen.
On 04/24/08 7:23 PM, Katie said:

Noone’s falling for it, douche.
On 04/25/08 5:25 PM, KillerQueen said:

But you do love the peen…
On 04/25/08 5:46 PM, Katie said:

I don’t even know what “the peen” is.
On 04/25/08 5:53 PM, Katie said:

Silent for Lawrence King: Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence (DOS), a national youth movement bringing attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment. This year’s DOS is held in memory of Lawrence King, a 15 year-old student who was killed in school because of his sexual orientation and gender expression. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward building awareness and making a commitment to address these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the silence?”
On 04/25/08 6:22 PM, Dr. Jones said:

It’s the same thing Gerard loves(the cock)
On 04/25/08 6:32 PM, Katie said:

You’ve got to be kidding me. Can we just stop with the whole gay shit? God, even if he was, it’s not a bad thing!!! Bashing people because of their orientation is on the SAME LEVEL as bashing them for their race, religion, or gender!
On 04/25/08 6:34 PM, Katie said:

And in case anyone wants to know, Nirvana is 2nd favorite band.
On 04/25/08 6:47 PM, Dr. Jones said:

shut up, Jew.
On 04/25/08 6:56 PM, KillerQueen said:

No one cares what bands you like, bitch. The fact that you like MCR negates the weight any other bands you happen to like.
On 04/25/08 10:31 PM, Katie said:

Not if I like Nirvana. Dude, Kurt Cobain like INVENTED the term ‘grundge’ He’s a legend, and I’m sad he’s gone.
Dr. Jones – Thank you, I am Jewish and I am proud. Haha, all my friends call me Kyle because we all love watching South Park.
On 04/25/08 11:00 PM, KillerQueen said:

Kurt Cobain was an overrated queer just like Gerard Gay. 9/10s of Grunge is shit anyway.
On 04/25/08 11:14 PM, Katie said:

Just SHUT THE FUCK UP KillerQueen!!! Have some RESPECT for tose who make a difference to others.
On 04/25/08 11:40 PM, Katie said:

GRR!!!! I need to stop making typos!!!
On 04/25/08 11:41 PM, Dr. Jones said:

You really need better idols.
On 04/25/08 11:49 PM, Katie said:

Why would I care what you think? You’re just an anti-semitic homophobe who has nothing better to do than insult peple over the internet.
On 04/26/08 1:42 AM, Katie said:

And I have a question for Dr. Jones – are you a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, the worlds most fucked up religion?
On 04/26/08 10:45 AM, Katie said:

I wanna know because I’m one of those teen girls that got pregnant by those old men at that polygamist cult in Texas that they just raided.
On 04/26/08 3:06 PM, Katie said:

No, you fucker!!!! Because he’s prejudice, vile, and probably insane!!! And I don’t have a priest. I’m not even Christian.
