Episode notes
Emo music fans, rejoice! On this episode, Sequoia & Jenay chat about the iconic band, My Chemical Romance, discussing their musical influence, their rejection of labels like “pop punk” and “emo,” and their favorite songs from the band. They also reflect on their album “Danger Days,” its connection to fans, and the theatrical energy of their music videos and live performances.
They dive into the emo phase of the 2000s and the impact of My Chemical Romance on black people in particular. They discuss the themes of their music, such as depression, suicide, and grief, and how it may have been an outlet for those who weren’t able to talk about their feelings. Jenay shares her experiences with the band’s music and how it helped her through tough times, as well as some recommendations for other artists to check out.
