'Emo Suicide' Row Continues - Have Your Say
Since the tragic suicide of 13 year old Hannah Bond, and the subsequent blame laid at emo band My Chemical Romances' door, music fans have been reacting strongly to the issue. Have your say here.
With My Chemical Romance and the 'emo' genre being blamed - not only by the coroner dealing with young Hannah Bond's suicide but The Daily Mail as well - fans of the band and fellow musicians have been reacting strongly to the accusations.
Elbow, Kate Nash and Pigeon Detectives are just a few of the bands who have been speaking to Xfm in support of My Chemical Romance, and users comments describe how "furious" they are and that "music is a freedon of expression and helps others through difficult emotions".
Others Xfm users have commented that "you have [My Chemical Romance frontman] Gerard Way telling the children his music is aimed towards "And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?"...music does have something to do with it in my opinion."
My Chemical Romance have now themselves reacted, posting a message to the world on their myspace page declaring themselves a positive life influence in young people's lives.
With a massive march planned in London this Saturday (May 31) we want to know what you, the music fans, think about the issue.
