Deconstructing a rock star - Gerard Way

Gerard Way is the lead singer of the rock band My Chemical Romance. He follows a typical convention of having black hair and wearing stage makeup.

Although he is breaking the convention by wearing a uniform. The rest of the band are also wearing a uniform togive themselves a sense of identity.


My Chemical Romance have changed their attire throughout the years, during the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge era, they wore suits and bulletproof vests as a uniform.


The constant idea of a uniform gives off the impression that they are not separate people who happen to be in a band together - they are one.
