My Chemical Romance are an American rock band formed in 2001. The band released its debut album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love a year later and since then they recorded three more albums. Their third album The Black Parade came out in 2006. It was a huge success, receiving very positive reviews from the media at the time. For many, this album is also considered to be one of the greatest rock albums of the 2000s. The band’s music style is often categorized as alternative rock and emo with punk rock elements. However Gerard Way has publicly often rejected the term “emo”. In 2010, the band released their last album before announcing an indefinite hiatus three years later.
Fun fact: Gererd Way, lead singer and co-founder of the band, created and wrote a comic book series called The Umbrella Academy in 2007, which was recently adapted as a Netflix series.
