Bukan 'Welcome to The Black Parade', Ini Lagu MCR yang Paling Sering Diputar di Spotify

RRI.CO.ID, Palangka Raya - My Chemical Romance (MCR) ialah band rock asal New Jersey, Amerika Serikat, yang mempopulerkan genre emo dan pop punk pada awal tahun 2000-an. Lagu-lagu mereka sangat terkenal karena memadukan lirik yang emosional, melodi yang megah, dan riff gitar yang enerjik.

Salah satu lagunya, Welcome to the Black Parade merupakan hit paling ikonis dan dijadikan sebagai single utama dari album ketiga mereka yang berjudul sama pada tahun 2006. Namun, berdasarkan penghitungan otomatis platform musik digital Spotify, pada Minggu 28 Juni 2026, Welcome to the Black Parade bukanlah lagu yang paling sering diputar.

Spotify mencatat Teenagers diputar lebih dari 1,3 juta kali. Lagu yang jadi single keempat dari album The Black Parade ini mengungguli Welcome to the Black Parade (sekitar 1 juta 71 ribu), Helena (726 ribu), dan I'm not Okay (I Promise) yang disetel 698 ribu kali.

Secara garis besar, Teenagers menceritakan tentang pandangan sinis orang dewasa terhadap remaja yang dianggap selalu memberontak, berbahaya, dan tidak bisa diatur. Liriknya menyoroti bagaimana masyarakat mencoba "membersihkan" dan membentuk anak muda agar menjadi warga yang penurut, namun di sisi lain, generasi muda tersebut membalasnya dengan sikap masa bodoh.

Lagu ini juga menyuarakan kecemasan sosial di Amerika Serikat pada masa itu, khususnya mengenai penembakan di lingkungan sekolah dan ketakutan para orang tua terhadap pengaruh buruk lingkungan terhadap anak-anak mereka. Bukan tidak mungkin, My Chemical Romance (MCR) bakal membawakan Teenagers ketika konser tunggal di Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), Jakarta, pada 22 November 2026 mendatang.

Penasaran dengan lirik lengkap lagu Teenagers? Berikut penjelasannya dikutip dari genius.com:

They're gonna clean up your looks

With all the lies in the books

To make a citizen out of you

Because they sleep with a gun

And keep an eye on you, son

So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work

They're gonna give you a smirk

'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean

They're gonna rip up your heads

Your aspirations to shreds

Another cog in the murder machine

They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed

So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique

The awful names that they stick

You're never gonna fit in much, kid

But if you're troubled and hurt

What you got under your shirt

Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed

So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

Oh, yeah!

They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed

So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

"Teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed

So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

"Teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"

They could care less as long as someone'll bleed

So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose

Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
