who else is angry that lyrically and musically the black parade is a fucking masterpiece but it’s always going to be written off as “shitty emo music” because teenage girls liked it 

Black parade is the bohemian rhapsody of our generation and no one can take that away from me or us.

you know what, i literally started yelling this in the tags and got so mad I have to put it in the main post, here:

I WILL ACTUALLY FUCKING FIGHT AND DIE ON THIS HILL, THAT BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY COMPARISON BEING SO *APT,* BECAUSE OF THE FORMATIVE CLASSIC/GLAM ROCK INFLUENCES AND DIRECT REFERENCES IN BLACK PARADE, SPECIFICALLY QUEEN. LITERALLY JUST ‘BLACK PARADE’ ALONE, LISTEN TO THOSE FUCKING BRIAN MAY-ESQUE GUITAR ARPEGGIOS. WATCH THE VIDEO. LOOK AT WHAT GERARD WAY IS DOING WITH THE HALF MIC-STAND/GESTURES AND BLACK VERSION OF THE ICONIC YELLOW BUCKLE JACKET. LISTEN TO THE TEMPO SHIFTS IN ‘MAMA’ AND TELL ME THAT’S NOT A DIRECT STYLISTIC/ERA CONVENTION HOMAGE/ALSO JUST MUSICALLY THE TIGHTEST SHIT

THIS SHIT IS HIGHLY INTENTIONAL AND I KIND OF CAN’T BELIEVE MORE ROCK NERDS DON’T SEE IT except I do, we do know why
