Problems with Life/Emos and Goths discussion

Alcohol consumption can be a big part of dealing with this. Just yesterday I made a HUGE mistake. I got a water bottle and emptied it. Then I feel it with smirnoff. I drank it all. I have no idea why! I just dont get it! WHATS WRONG WITH ME!? Am I crazy or something, whenever I take the risks. Cut, drink, hurt others, and just damage myself, others, or things it makes me feel better. You're told to not do all this stuff so your tempted to do it. I dont wanna be cool or badass! I wanna live my life happy.

Drink = temporary happy.

Drink=temporary happy (I agree)

whiskey won't do anything for me, but vodka sure as hell does.

I took a gulp of whiskey and was like OMG!!! It wasnt good to me. Then I drank the smirnoff (type of vodka) and thought it was magic.

oh, vodka IS magic.

Hahahaha, depending on ur age....should u be drinking?

13.
No.
But it makes me forget things I need to forget.

Here can you message me?

I won't ever drink, ever. Or take drugs I don't want to run that risk. Tell you're parents I say hi!

Once, I had this Pomegranate Mike's Hard Lemonade, and I was in a pretty... giggly mood, I guess. Though I just get like that sometimes, so I'm not sure if it was really the alcohol or just the placebo effect...

I've never really liked the taste of alcohol, and the only time I really had any straight up was Sake at Soho... but that was because my brother had a whole bottle to himself. It was so weird... It almost had a sensation of cough-syrup, but it tasted like wine without any sweetness. I guess that makes sense though, because it is rice wine...

one min, how can you be 13 and drink, my parents would know right away, ugg, i have to wait til i go to college!

13??

my ex crush drinks smokes im not really sure bout drugs, and he does lots of other stuff hes 13 now!!.... just the other day he got expellled for...you dont wanna know! but i mean hes 13 now and he drank when he was in yr 7 if not be4 (didnt know him be4 dat!)

I actually read an interview saying that gerard wrote this song after a ride on a subway where he was surrounded with teenagers and for the first time he felt frightened of them, and he said it was the first time he really felt old.

There's also many references to school shootings (columbine, etc.) like when he sings:
but when you're troubled and hurt,
what you got under your shirt,
will make them pay for the things that they did.

It's really just how corrupted us teenagers have become and how teenagers of any generation will always scare their elders.

It seems to me that this song is a combination of the previous interpretations: Yes, it started when he was on a train with a bunch of "Hot Topic" punks/emos, but it's a little deeper than that. Remember when you were a teenager (ok, you probably still are) and you felt like the world was out to get you, and you had to look diffrent to scare people or put up a defense? The kids they're talking about are just like that, putting up a defense. They're trying to scare adults on purpose, by wearing black or looking violent. The funny thing is it backfires, and hooks them in with a bunch of teens just like them, people who want to be noncomformists but end up conforming to the "Hot Topic" personality. There are indeed refrences to violence, but someone suggested that what he has "under his shirt" could be scars: Attempted suicide, cutting, even scars from a knife fight: They're something people keep secret and can scare or even hurt other, especially older, people. If you were a mother or an aunt, even a teacher, what would you think if you met a kid with scars all over his torso? It would threaten you and weaken your authority.

The first verse represents paranoia: He's putting himself back into a teenage perspective, worrying that adults are watching every step and forcing him to conform.

The "Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me" is Gerard trying to hook himself back into the "Scene" of "Hot Topic" punks/emos today- he's telling his fans that he still thinks like them and knows what they're going through.

Did that make any sense?

MCR is not actually scared of teenagers.
They stated in an interview that this was about how teenagers are made to feel that they have to be violent or made to feel worthless.
Hello, Gerard lived those feelings when he was in highschool.

They're making a point about society, duh.

Wine is good, its even better with chocolate. :) beer I loved when i was like 6.. not so much any more..

beer is kinda i dont know, not like wine, but champagne tastes the best

Never had champagne.. My family doesn't buy it very often, its expensive. :-/

i am not sure if it was champagne, maybe it was beer, i tasted it when my brothers babysitter was drunk and put the whole bottle of what-ever-it-is down my throat that my dad was drinking

Oh, great.

that was years ago

i was in a hotel once and i had dessert, i didnt realise it had wine in it, so when i ate it i just spit it out, it tasted DISGUISTING!! eww!!

well i dont really know why i joined this topic coz i dont drink at all coz in my religion we just dont drink!!!

and i've had winee in a few sweets before but i didnt realise it had it. but anyways i hated the taste of it :L
