I know for a fact that some of lyrics are used symbolically. Check out this website to get the lyrics to their songs. http://www.plyrics.com/m/mychemicalromance.html. However I've tried looking far and wide to see if any member has had a female death in their life and no interview has stated it. Way was quoted saying that the band's lyrics were a great way for him to deal with the problems he had been going through (which included severe depression and a serious illness in his family).

Their music has been catorgorized by MTV as alternative pop/rock and punk-pop. They combine punk-pop's musical aggression with introspective, confessional lyrics.

ok..

the song Helena is based on there ( mikey way and gerard way ) grandmother ,elen, who was there greatest musical infulence, passing away.

the lyrics in helena things are better if i stay arent that symbolic. After the death of his grandmother gerard became overly depressed and was thinking about suicide.

As for the genre of the bands music. they call themselves punkrock/rock. but on my upstage phone i downloaded there whole black parade CD into there and the genre was emo

so it depends on how u look at it.

hope i was able to help
any other questions feel free to ask.

Yes Gerard Way is vocals. And his granmother did die. So yes you were correct and also their type of music is alternative rock. Trust me I would know. happy And they are NOT emo. Btw... Mikey Way is the bass player little brother of Gerard Way, so it's his grandmother also.

Hope that helped. wink

Gerard has a way with being VERY creative with the lyrics!His grandmother Elena Lee Rush.Her death was a major loss to Gerard and brother Mikey Way.

Mikey and gerard's grandmother died thus creating the song 'Helena'.

I dont consider them Emo because they dont have any lyrics about killing them selfs or hurting themselves that I know of.
I've even heard In one of their songs saying I'm not afraid to keep on living.

I consider them Alternative/Punk.

Anyways I love MCR the my favortiest band ever.They dont even look emo .Let me get back to the point, not all he songs are about death. There you go.
