After a month long delay out of respect for those killed in the tragedy at Virginia Tech in April, My Chemical Romance finally released the single and video for "Teenagers", the fourth single off 2006's The Black Parade.
The video is pretty straightforward by MCR standards. Band performs, kids riot, twisted cheerleaders...the usual really. In an effort to show respect for the VT tragedy, the band tacked on a public service ad at the end of the video encouraging people to reach out and seek help instead of turning to violence (the song alludes to a school shooting, hence the delay and PSA). Idolator was one of the first to notice the similarities between the videos for "Teenagers" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit", complete with rioting teens in a gym, cheerleaders and the whole reaching out motif, but like always, MCR does so with its tongue firmly planted in its cheek. All in all another great video from My Chemical Romance. Now I'm just waiting for the inevitable B-Sides to hit iTunes.
Oh, and one more thing; congratualtions to MCR frontman Gerard Way, who late last week announced his engagement to his girlfriend, known only as Eliza.
