Teenagers............GET A CLUE!!!
Hoorah! Another anthem for those poor spoiled whited middle upper classed brats. Boo-hoo, I'm different, so I'll be "alternative" and dress JUST LIKE all the other "alternative" goth punks that have life so rough because their parents want them to make something of themselves (I guess being a successful part of society is terrible because you're "just another cog in the machine"). If you really want to be "alternative" look into the original rebellious activist Jesus Christ. If you want to stop the violence in this world and the subservience to "Big Business" and "Big Oil" and everything else you whine about He's the way, the truth and the life! Not darkening your clothes and striking a violent pose. Yee Haw, a little school violence will show them.............?
Here's a cheery little excerpt from My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers"
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me
The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
And Tipper Gore was worried about Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It"?

of course art & music are meant to be taken literally right?
No they shouldn't be but you can't tell me they're not.
They're not promoting violence. They're spreading awareness about how everyone is afraid of teenagers when they're just kids, and that violence is not the answer.
OK, if the songs lyrics have to be defended and some hidden purpose developed that's not in the original song, it's not an anti-violence song, it's a song that glorifies it because it will sell. I happen to like My Chem and they're good enough that they don't have to stoop to gimmics to sell albums.
