My Chemical Romance's general style has been categorized as "alternative rock", "post-hardcore", "punk revival", "pop punk" and, most controversially, "emo". The band's official website describes their music as simply "rock" or "violent, dangerous pop". Band frontman Gerard Way has publicly rejected the term "emo". Way said to Rolling Stone, "We love bands like Queen, where it's huge and majestic, but also bands like Black Flag and the Misfits. Lead singer Gerard Way has stated that the band is heavily influenced by The Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Smiths/Morrisey. Way has also said that his band patterns their career after that of The Smashing Pumpkins, another band they admire. Growing up, they were also very influenced by horror films and comic books, and therefore their music, lyrics, and image all have overt elements of fantasy, horror, and theatricality.My Chemical Romance Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market
