Song Review: Teenagers - My Chemical Romance

Okay, so although I listen to a lot of artist and various kinds of music, I'm really not one to listen to a lot of My Chemical Romance and songs like that. BUT, I just find this song very humorous and I thought I'd share it with you.
Teenagers is a song that features teenagers as the victim of society where they will be fixed into more of an adult figure. Until then, teenagers are viewed as scary and disobedient (which in my view, isn't far off from what I see at school). The song talks about the nicknames, drugs, clothes, and "violent" nature of a teenager, which is probably why most people are scared of us (Mwahahahahahahaha fear us!!).
Although I didn't exactly grow up in a disobedient and frowned-upon-for-our-uncontrolled-children society, I have seen that side of the teenage population.

I feel that My Chemical Romance is a very good band with loads of talent, but I never was attached to them as a music addict. I don't know how many of you reading this like that band but no judgement! Music is music, I am here on the dictation of my English grade and because I gotta have a better blog than my friends.
AAAaaaannnnnyyyyywaaaaaayyyyy........ MCR, from New Jersey with a group of 5 rockers. Their latest album launched March 25th of last year, the album is called May Death Never Stop You. For those who love the band, ya'll better tell me if it's a great album, I might review it and get obsessed.
That's enough for this post, stay tuned for the next review which I should write so I don't fail my class XD. Later guys!

What Do Songs Do For You?

We all know that people love to express their feelings to others, especially through song. Well it's time to discuss what the lyrics of songs do.
Songs are really only touch people when the lyrics connect or relate to them; how often do you actually listen to the lyrics in a serious way when you're happy? And how often do you seriously listen to the lyrics when you're sad or angry? I have to show you a quote that maybe you've heard, maybe you haven't.
"When you are happy, you enjoy the music. But, when you are sad, you understand the lyrics."
How often have you listened to the lyrics when you're sad and finally understood the meaning? I view music as a psychological release, I say this because music has millions of different beats, tones, lyrics, and meanings. Whatever your mood, there is always a collection of songs that match your mood. But furthermore, being unhappy can cause more attentiveness and awareness to what is going on, especially in music (a very expressive way of releasing feelings to others).
As a heads up, I will be doing a different kind of review chapter for the next couple weeks. I will be in no specific category but more of a "random artist review" section.
