Answer 1

I think you should talk to her about how much music has evolved.
&& tell her that Everybody these days are singing about the same things they sang about 30 + years ago!
Just in a way more modern way!!!

I hope this helps!!!!
P.s. Dont let any one make you feel bad for liking a band they dont like. ((person above me))

&& MCR is great they brang in a new energy to the music industry!

Answer 2

O_O
Gurl, u have no idea. I faced the same problems, my mom destroyed my mcr ORIGINAL CDS and posters, and writing, and lyrics and cassette. I suggest that u pretend not to like the band, I know it's hard, but what else can we do? Listen to it secretly, hide the cds and so on and so forth.

Also, don't listen to ur grandma, MCR is a great band and ur grandma is just unfairly judging Gerard by his looks. Hey who cares about his taste in music? At least he does not get his fans to kill each other!

Answer 3

No, Gerard is NOT dead. Some guy put that he died from a car accident on Wikipedia. Now, Gerard Way's Wikipedia page is protected from editing. It was just a prank.

Answer 4

ok, story from me -
my grandparents are going on a trip across america soon and my grandma asked me for an idea for a present she could bring me back.
my mum started laughing and immediately said "how about gerard way?!" and i laughed because i was just about to ask my grandparents how close they were going to new jersey!
so she wants to kno who gerard way is and stuff and my mum tells her stereotypical, ykno, black hair, eyeliner, ex-alky n druggy, smokes, etc etc. highlighting all the stuff that typically mums dont want in a partner for their daughter. so i try to show the other side, saying everyone goes through bad times and more power to him for fighting through it, they make a difference, inspiring, and that their music means something that i dont get from other bands. so my gran nods like she understands and says that she knows what i mean - quote: "it's not about how they look, it's about how they sound. that's the way i feel about barry manilow"

"omg gran, you can't compare gerard way to barry manilow!!!"

cue riotous laughing.

ok, so i know this is different to your situation but i wanted to share the story =) the point of me saying this is that essentially, grandparents are of a different generation. there was more sexual, racial and homosexual discrimination, just to start with, when they were growing up. times have changed hugely, and they often find it hard to keep up. so it might not be fair to blame your grandma for the way she's reacting to gerard and mcr's music. but i agree its unfair for her to act the way she has, telling your dad etc (although she might be doing it thinking she's doing whats best for you...?) and i think if your dad isnt going to be able to understand where you're coming from, you may have little alternative than become a secret supporter. which sucks, but is surely better than not being able to listen to their music anymore - put the cds you buy somewhere safe you dont think people will find them, listen to them with headphones in, etc.
genuinely, good luck with it.

Answer 5

I bet it would bother you even more if Grandma had said something about Gerard being a hottie and wanting to do him ten ways to Sunday and back again. Get over it, she was stating her opinion. Get used to it, you are going to encounter this a lot in life.

Answer 6

first off **** u Alyssa M ur so dumb! why do u hate them!? whats ur problem! they r the best band in the world! anyway im glad u love them! i love them to well if ur grandma thinks Gerard is stoned well she might be right! but its ok we still love him dont we! or he might like to wear them cause he looks so hot! either way he looks hot with or without sunglasses and tell ur grandma that he is the hottest guy in the world no question about it! or show her pics of him and she'll see hes very hot! yay MCR rules!! dont listen to the haters! Im not disrepecting ur grandma in anyway but dont listen to the haters! meaning the ***** that answered 1st!

Answer 7

"be yourself, don't take anyone's sh*t, and never let them take you alive" do u remember these words ?? they came straight outta gerard's mouth. i live by these words everyday. my whole family looks down at me because i listen to mcr and other bands similar to them. my mom said pretty much the same thing that your grandma said. but mcr's music is a part of me. ya know. and ik that i couldn't live without it. so when my family, or ne one for that matter says something condeming mcr, i don't listen. because ik that if they are saying that, then they really haven't LISTENED to their music enough to give them a chance. u can't stop believing in mcr. my advice... just live by this quote. "be yourself, don't take anyone's sh*t, and never let them take you alive." hope i helped.

Answer 8

thats pretty old fashioned of her. you shoud write her a note and tell her that he wears sunglasses cause he likes them and you could also tell her that gerard is completely sober now...

i love mcr they are not druggy ppl, and gerard rox. dont let NE1 tell u otherwise!

Answer 9

Why do you even care what your grandma thinks about MCR?

Personally, I hate them, but if you like a band, what you're grandma says about them shouldn't matter one bit...

If she's being unfair or not, people have their opinions...

edit: Hahahaha, I love how you all are getting worked up about me hating MCR--I can't stand listening to them, and I don't think this can be helped. Y'all act like in insulted yo mamma.
