The 26 Biggest Cult Bands In Rock 1st My Chemical Romance

The 26 Biggest Cult Bands In Rock 1st My Chemical Romance. My Chemical Romance Hmm, MCR and cults? That sounds a little too familiar. Back in 2008, The Sun and Daily Mail ran stories naming the band as leaders of the ‘sinister’ cult of emo. Yet, ignoring how laughably wide of the mark those reports were, if you take the definition of a cult band as one that reminds you that the word ‘fan’ derives from ‘fanatic’, MCR certainly qualify. They had a profound link with their fans, and when they announced their split it triggered feelings of genuine grief. What the tabloids missed, though, was the fact that they were so life-affirming. Yes, they touched upon some very dark places, but their message was one of positivity, unity and love. And, of course, it helped that they were one of the most vital bands of the century.
