[ID: The prep-goth jock-nerd alignment chart, filled in with images of Gerard Way from the 2022-2023 MCR tour. In the far prep/jock corner is the Cheerleader look. On the prep axis are the Riotfest and Atlanta outfits (a dress and trenchcoat with a floral headscarf and oversized sunglasses, and a red crop top with khakis, oversized sunglasses, and floral scarf, respectively). In the prep/nerd quadrant is the Princess Diana outfit from MCRLA2 and the businesswoman look from MCRBrisbane. In the Jock/goth quadrant are the looks from the Glasgow, LA5, and Philly shows (Gerard in a tank top covered in motor oil, gerard in a skull-and-crossbones shirt, and Gerard in a tee shirt that “Pool Boy at the Vampire Mansion,” respectively). On the goth axis is the bat costume from the first New Jersey show and the “Black Swan” look from the first Boston show. In the goth/nerd quadrant is the Joan of Arc look from the Mexico City, and the Dracula costume from LA4. End ID.]
This is gonna be an interesting poll to make as this theory hasn’t been discussed in a while and I haven’t really seen it discussed here much, so let’s get to it, part 2 of my experiment :)
For those who don’t know the theory, I’ll explain it below!
On the left, Gerard wore that shirt at the Philly show allll the way back in August. And on the right, Gerard wore that shirt at one of MCR’s very first shows in 2002.
The theory is simple and it goes like this- some fans believe because Gerard wore a TYFTV shirt in 2002, which ended up being a song on Revenge, which released in 2004, then PBATVM will potentially be a song on MCR5.
