Emo Music Blamed For Suicide Of MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE Fan
|
|
The Pulse of Radio reports that a British coroner has raised concerns that emo music played a role in the suicide of 13-year-old MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE fan Hannah Bond (photo), according to NME.com. Bond hung herself from a bunk bed in her bedroom after informing her parents that she was going to kill herself and leaving a note signed "Living Disaster". The coroner investigating the girl's death, Roger Sykes, speculated that the girl was obsessed with bands like MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, saying, "The emo overtones concerning death and associating it with glamour I find very disturbing."
Bond's father, Ray, said at the inquest that his daughter had inflicted harm on herself previously as part of what she told him was an "emo initiation ceremony." Bond had also posted a picture of an emo fan with bloody wrists at her personal web page.
Her mother, Heather, said, "She called emo a fashion and I thought it was normal. Hannah was a normal girl. She had loads of friends. She could be a bit moody but I thought it was just because she was a teenager."
NME.com has received a number of responses to the case from fans of emo music, who largely rejected the coroner's suggestion that emo was a factor in Bond's death. One wrote, "I find it disgusting that small-minded people would assume that music has that much of an influence, that someone would kill themselves because of it," while another fan said, "I listen to MY CHEM, as do many of my friends, and we are happy people with happy lives."
Emo has been the center of controversy lately in Mexico as well, where fans of the music have been subjected to violence at the hands of other Mexican youth. MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE singer Gerard Way called for an end to the attacks during a recent concert in Mexico City.

[sadistic comment] 'meh - let emo listeners kill themselves/each other off [/sadistic comment]
But on a serious note - that's fucked up. Its the same argument as the music/videos/games influenced Columbine etc. etc.
When will people start accepting responsability for their own actions? When will parents accept that their kids aren't perfect little angels influenced by external forces?

Yes.
I'm sure those who are beating emos are going to listen to the lead singer of an emo band when he calls for an end to the violence. And I'm sure they were at the fucking concert to hear it.
Yes.

Emo people need to accept the fact that they just don't fucking matter. Just like everyone else. The whole emo culture and philosophy is the most backwards unproductive thing ever.

You click the photo link?
I hate the emo trend, but people should not be subjected to the attitude held towards a trend just because they found influence there. That little girl would have grown out of her emo phase to become a normal person.
Well, maybe not, but all I know is that she could have lived a full life, and I can't feel anything but sadness when I look at her face.
People who hate concepts enough to project that hatred onto people for embracing that concept are a waste of space. Emo is usually a PHASE... being a heartless angst-ridden cynical asshole is just ANOTHER phase... you're not so unlike the people you hate.

Nazism is just a concept. We should embrace Nazis.
I am on the edge of going on a huge rant here but I'll save it...

Killing yourself raises your emo status by an unbelievable amount. It's the quick way to move up the ranks.

Emo is the new Goth. I wonder what the new Emo will be in a few years when all this shit gets boring to them.
Hopefully it will be something less annoying.

When is being emo gonna stop?? it needs to.
They should start listening to happier music. I know kids who listen to this crap, and ive heard some samples of Hawthorn Heights and My Chem and Chiodos, so far its basically all amount ex-highschool girlfriends, dieing, all the while you cant understand what their saying because its a whiney scream in your ear. Not metal screaming but like very loud mumbling.

Seriously though, my best friend, (NOT FUCKING EMO), killed himself the first day of my senior year of high school at 16 by gasoline and match.
To this day, I cannot disagree with his final writings, which indicated that in a postmodern world where serious bull-shit and art is considered genius and religion still makes all the money and calls all the shots....I still cannot disagree, despite the pain personally felt from the loss.
These kids aren't killing themselves for no reason. Their reason is at least as good as the war vets. Alas, their reasons make more sense than Islamic martyrs and Jesus' deaths. They see no freedom, why stick around? Be a productive worker bee?
Emo Lincoln would truly be sad to hear this shit though ;'(

Nah, in all seriousness though, it's pretty fucking stupid of them to blame emo music. As much as I hate the stuff.
