Title: My Chemical Romance – Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2004, Rock, Pop Punk, Newark, NJ
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

1. Media Narrative: Early-2000s press tried to paint them as “dangerous emo,” and the moral panic backlash became part of the band’s identity politics.

2. Scene Ecology: Came out of the New Jersey/Long Island basement-to-VFW circuit, where pop-punk and hardcore scenes shared bills and audiences.

3. Band Drama: Lineup turbulence in the early years (especially on drums) stabilized around this era, letting the band become a touring machine.
