' I'm Not Okay ' about The Daily Mail

I found an article from The Daily Mail claiming that a teenage girl Hannah Bond, had killed herself after becoming an 'Emo'. The article states that 'Emo' is characterised by depression, self injury and suicide and bands such as My Chemical Romance encourage and glamorise such behaviour. It blames My Chemical Romance by labelling them a 'suicide cult band' when in actual fact My Chemical Romance are against self-harm as front man Gerard Way said in response to these claims 'My Chemical Romance are and always have been vocally anti-violence and anti-suicide.' The Daily Mail suggests 'The Black Parade' was influential in Hannah's death due to its angst filled lyrics and melancholy themes. The Daily Mail has taken this album out of context, the actual themes being hope and courage. My Chemical Romance are just the latest of the medias scapegoat for the problems of younger generations. 'Emo' is not a new evil 'suicide cult' encouraging teenagers to commit horrific violent acts, previously the likes of Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne were blamed for the same thing. Society should be looking at the real reasons why teenagers are depressed, self harm and commit suicide.
