I had already planned to dress in the aesthetic of My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade and had stolen just enough black eye makeup from my mom to complete the look. I could have never anticipated that on guitarist Frank Iero’s 38th birthday, as my best friend informed me, My Chemical Romance was reuniting and playing their first show in six years that upcoming December. After regretfully missing their reunion tour, I jumped at the chance to see them on the Long Live the Black Parade tour, and before I knew it, my roommate and I were in the stands at Fenway Park. My Chemical Romance’s set started with a group of soldiers taking the stage. Any person who came to the concert without context of the type of band My Chemical Romance is would wonder what just happened, but knowing the band’s history, their actions were aligned with everything they stand for.
