OMG, My Chemical Romance is back and hitting us with ALL the feels! Earlier this week, they dropped a cryptic teaser, casually revealing a 10-date North American stadium tour. Cue screaming. But wait—there's more. Since then, they've been posting some seriously mysterious content, and it's giving major "something big is coming" vibes.
The tour's called "Long Live" (epic name, am I right?), and when they announced it on Tuesday, they revealed this super weird-but-intriguing blurb. It's all about how everything's different from The Black Parade—you know, their iconic concept album—and talks of a "great Dictator" rising to power through something called "THE CONCRETE AGE." Um, what? Is this the lore for an entirely new era? And THEN they dropped a cinematic teaser that feels straight out of a dystopian movie, and we are ALL obsessed.
Writing this right now, I'm not even gonna lie, is SO hard; I literally am jumping out of my skin with excitement! Keeping composed is impossible; it literally feels like history in the making, and I really can't wait to see what's next.
But they're not making it any easier to stay calm because the teases just. Keep. Coming. First, they posted a photo of a dog on Instagram—random, right? But it's got a new logo on it, which fans think could either stand for "MCR" or be a nod to The Paper Kingdom, their infamous scrapped album. The caption? Just "Good Boy."
Then another teaser video popped up, this time captioned "Opera." Like, are they teasing song titles now? Well, Reddit detectives are on it, and some superfans are convinced these are Easter eggs for unreleased tracks from The Paper Kingdom. Apparently, that album had songs called "Dogs" (hello, "Good Boy" post) and "Operation Day" (which totally links to "Opera").
Clearly, something HUGE is brewing in the MCR universe, and I can barely contain myself. The return of emo legends—it feels like the world is healing. This truly is just the beginning, and ooooh, am I ready for whatever they have planned!
