Culturite

It’s very emotional being a fan of My Chemical Romance. You have to fight for your melodramatic emo youth tribe. You have to fight against those who don’t understand your pain. And when The Media tries to convince the world around you that your pain is part of a “suicidal cult”, you have to take to the streets.  You have to be polite. You have to pick up your litter. And, whatever happens, try not to cry.

Hundreds of black-clad fans of “emo” band My Chemical Romance are planning to march on the Daily Mail’s headquarters in Kensington, London, to protest at what they see as an unjustified media attack on the group and its fans.

The fans, furious at a string of articles that they claim wrongly portray followers of the emo youth tribe as a “suicide cult”, plan to stage a peaceful protest outside Northcliffe House on May 31.

Organisers said yesterday that they had already signed up 300 protesters and hoped to at least double that. They urged protesters to be polite and pick up their litter.
