Someobdy help me get them to change their minds.
They say I can't listen to them anymore because they sing too much about drugs and death and things like that, and that they curse every other word.
PLEASE HELP!! GIVE ME IDEAS!

OH! Just a quick note: MY parents curse all the time and are total hypocrites, because they also banned from youtube and then my dad got an account.

THEY WHAAAAT?
They banned you from listening to MCR because of an untrue reason!?
THAT'S. NOT. RIGHT.

You should get them to watch Life on The Murder Scene.
Or tell them about MCR.
Because, that just isn't fair.
And sure, they swear, but music isn't the only place you're gonna hear it.

Try talking to them.
And see what happens.

My mom didnt' understand why I liked them soo much. crying But I made her listen to the cd's with me, and watch LOTMS. And now she thinks they are kind of role models, and that their music isn't bad at all, it's encouraging through a complex use of metaphors. 3nodding I would suggest as others have previously stated watching LOTMS with your parents. Cause trying to ban MCR in your life, well that's just unfair and stupid.

stare That is so pathetic...sorry but it is.


Advice...print of lyrics tell them to point out how many times they swear where the drugs are and tell them that death is natural and unavoidable and that shielding you from it will only make it harder when you feel the loss it brings. Tell them that kids that start taking drugs are those with no knowledge or information and mcr provide information that drugs are bad. They even tell you NOT to do it....

point out to them that as well as singing about things like drugs and death they also have some incredibley (sp?) motivating lyrics ("i'm not afraid to keep on living" etc) and somtimes when it is about drugs/death it's ment to be taken as a sort of warning.

And your parents are being stupid by concensoring the things you see/listen to. listen to it anyway, they don't have to know.

I always thought MCR was ANTI drugs and violence. And the only thing that they say about death is that its a tragic yet unavoidable thing. They may curse alot but almost every rock band will do that. Thats too bad. As others have said, make they watch LOTMS. Im really sorry.

There was this one magazine.

It was kinda recent and they were featured on the cover. It says as a headline "MCR saves lives"

Find this article, magazine, or just stories online of them being rolemodels. You some of the ones here if you have to. Have them watch LOTMS.

All of these reasons are how I got my dad to let me listen to them.
I live with my mom and she still thinks all the things your parents think about them.

If you love something. Fight for it. No mater what.

I remember that ages ago when I first came here to the guild I complained my parents took all of my CDs away, that's not just MCR but The Used, AFI, All American Rejects, Fall Out Boy plus many many more... They did this because they thought that the music from these bands were having a bad influence on me.
They ended up giving the CDs back in the end, because I had too many of them on my computer playlist, ATRAC CDs for my Diskman and my friends kept loaning me their CDs.
Mom thinks that Gee is weird, that the music that MCR produces is the most morbidly depressing out of all the bands I listen to and the biggest and badest (is that a word?) influence on me. Yet, she hasn't listened to what my brother listens to which consists of a hodge-podge mix of Rap and metal, both of which I would say have more of a bad influence on him then my music does me.
But, most parents are hypocrites darling. Mom likes the video for I Don't Love You and the song. She also has a thing for P!nk's music, ever noticed how much she swears?... My dad on the other hand... well now, that's a completely different matter. He says that he absolutly loathes what I listen to, but more then once I've found him sneaking into my room and stealing my The Kooks CD... hypocrite much?
Others around here are right though, try to get them to listen to LOTMS, it should hopefully open their eyes a little bit more and show them that MCR isn't into the whole drugs, death and cursing thing despite what your parents think. Also try to explain to them that no matter what you're going to listen to or where you go you're gonna hear simillar themes in other people's music and that they also not going to be there to stop you from listening to them when you go out to parties, shops or even friends houses. That was one of the arguments that I ended up using on my parents when protesting about how they confiscated my CDs.
Another idea is to show them this thread and what we say in regards to the matter. Or even show them this guild so they can see how happy other fans that listen to MCR are despite the themes in their music. Why I say this is because then maybe that they'll realise the mistake they've made and let you have your CDs back.
I also sujest trying to talk to them, and don't try to make it a yelling fit. Just sit them down at the table or where ever there is a neutral area in the house where they don't have the upper hand and you don't either so you can calmly talk out your differences with them and try to negotiate getting them to see where you're coming from and why you would like you're CDs back... And make it come from your heart alright?
While you're doing this you could maybe point out how they've been hypocrites by banning you off Youtube, then making themselfs an account and the swearing thing too... but this might just be taking it a little bit too far though.
But that's my opinion and theories on the matter darling, and good luck trying to remove the ban.
