My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way has claimed his band should not be classed as 'emo', slamming the genre as "bulls**t".
The 'Black Parade' rocker said the group's sound is completely different to 'emo' bands, and music reviewers would realise it if they listened to the songs together.
He told US college website The Maine Campus: "Emo's a pile of s**t, f**king garbage. There are bands we get lumped in with that are considered emo and by default, that starts to make us emo.
"All I can say to anyone actually putting the records next to each other and listening to them [would know there are] actually no similarities."
