Welcome to fan/zine , a paid partnership between Interview and Spotify where we investigate the depths of modern day fan culture.
My Chemical Romance knows what it means to make a cult classic. The Black Parade , the band’s legendary, ultra-theatrical rock opera, turned 20 this year, but you’d never guess by the unwavering love it’s still being shown today. The record recently soared to Billboard’s No. 1 spot decades after its original release, no doubt inspired by the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition drop this October. Exploring death, memory, and regret, the dark concept album remains a favorite among the group’s fanbase, or self-proclaimed “killjoys.” For them, fandom isn’t just a feeling or a community, but a way of life. It’s a euphoric, nostalgia-fueled obsession that shines through their painted faces, over-the-top costumes, and handmade signs at the Long Live the Black Parade tour this summer. In collaboration with Spotify for our fan/zine , we jumped into the spirited crowd and got a glimpse of the die-hard dedication 20 years strong. —SIENA BERGAMO
