Dearest Iconators and to everyone else,
Look, I've had enough of all this shit that's been throwing back and forth. Especially about bands. More specifically - My Chemical Romance. 6 years ago, they were not this big. They were just 5 normal guys, doing what they loved to do the most - making music. Now shortly after 'Helena' came out, they were making it big in the music industry. People start to love them and people start to criticize them on everything they do. But they don't care. They don't care if people laugh at them for using too much makeup. They don't care if people said they were walking vampires. They don't care if people laugh at their music.
They just put all their sweat, blood and tears to making music. Saving lifes? Yes they do. Especially with 'I'm Not Okay' and 'Famous Last Words'. If you read their song lyrics closely, there's always a message telling people that suicide won't solve anything. Live out your life, live out your dreams, your fantasies. Don't care if people laugh at you because you wanted to be a doctor or a musician or an artist. If that's what you wanna be, then go ahead and make that dream a reality.
Now, that last few paragraphs has nothing to do with what I'm gonna say. This trash talking is getting out of hand. People are saying, "OMGZ! MCR is for emos." or "MCR owns Hillary Duff anytime." or "I love Gerard Way more than my mom!" or "I don't label people, prep." Isn't that kinda contradicting? You said, you don't label people and yet you called them a prep.
Look listening to MCR does not make you an emo. Nor will listening to pop songs and wearing Abercrombie makes you a prep. I read a dictionary, does that make me a geek? I own 2 pairs of Abercrombie tops and work in a designer's section, does that makes me a prep? I listen to MCR and wear black most of the time, does that makes me an emo? I'm learning how to play the skateboard, does that make me a skatergirl? My boyfriend plays basketball, does that make me a jock as well? I wear black eyeliner everyday, does that make me a scene? No. All that makes me myself. I do whatever I like, as and when I please. WTF is labelling all about? "Oh ok, right, you're a skatergirl, you're supposed to be seated with all the skater dudes over there. This table is for us popular people. Not freaks like you."
We are not books. We don't have specific titles or genres. We don't have labels on us saying, "OMG I'm Emo! All Emos come here!" We are all humans. We all have different tastes. You don't have to make other people like the same stuffs as you do.
AND, MCR IS NOT AN OBJECT! Quit picking up fights and start to diss other people just because someone said you need help because you listen to MCR. Why? Is it a crime to listen to music? Then i guess I should be sentenced to lifetime prison because I listen to 30 Seconds to Mars, MCR and loves High School Musical. Yes, that's right. I love HSM. I think the songs are pretty awesome. I think Vanessa has a wonderful voice. I think there's a HUGE message inside that movie that we all can learn from. You people just don't give it a chance. You think only dumb kiddish Disney lovers would watch that.
Treat Bob, Ray, Gerard, Mikey and Frank as humans. Think how you would feel if people talk shit about you. Or start to spread rumors about you. Being obsessed is fine. Hey! I was obsessed with A&F/Hollister too for a long time. Don't let other people decide for you. You have a brain, use it. There's only one of you. Make yourself unique. Gerard actually said in an interview, that they are an anti-rock band. They're just being themselves.
Iconator is becoming a scene. Popularity means so much. You MUST have people commenting on your profile or icons every hour. You MUST have someone to make a dedication avvie for you to be loved. I mean come on! Geez. You'd think I'd go around commenting other people avvies saying, "Hey! I love you so much! Would you make me a dedication avvie? Thanks ILY!~" If people really admire you, they would make one for you without asking.
I didn't became magically famous when I first started. Just look at my previous avvies, I've gotten 0 comments like most of the time. In fact, I'm not even close to famous at all right now. I'm not being modest. It's a fact. I'm not aiming for AOTD, IOTD or WOTD or whatever. I just want to share my avatars and icons with all of you. And this is my ONLY chance to design stuffs and actually have people to look at them. But don't think that pasting something with a bright pink background and green text saying ILY would make you famous instantly. (Not aimed to anyone. If you have the exact avatar/icon with that description, it's purely coincidental.) You need to put in effort in what you do. I don't spend 5 minutes on one avvie, I can take up to 3 hours on an avvie. I treat every single one of my work like my own child. I don't have "Eeww this is ugly. I hate this. I'm gonna ask people to report this so it would be kicked off."
Once you press the submit button, you already committed to yourself that this is your best work. You'll love it with all your heart. And you'll kill anyone dissing it. Yes it's a big decision and commitment. So think carefully before you click.
And like I've said before plenty of times. STOP MAKING HATE AVVIES! I know it will make you famous. But it will also hurt other people and also you'll be famous for all the wrong reasons. And if you don't like it, move along. You don't have to type in "You suck! What is wrong with you?! You're a prep if you don't like MCR! Get a life!" None of those makes any sense. And think of others before you type. Don't excitedly proclaim, "YAY! Finally someone who talks sense! I hate MCR! They are so emo! Yay for making this avvie. You rock!" How would you like it if someone commented on your 'Juicy' handbag avvies saying, "You said MCR was emo? I think you're a crazy prep! I don't think you even can afford to buy this handbag!" Yes, then of course you would retaliate back on whoever's profile. And this would never end. Then others would butt in and then a crazy chaos would be unleashed between Juicy Couture and MCR.
Think. If that someone never started the hate avvie, none of this would have happened right? Everyone would just be happy, admiring other people's works of art and moving along on those that are not really their interest. Iconator would be a more peaceful and happy place.
I think I have made my point. Thank you for reading. If there's any point that I've missed, I'll be sure to add them in.
