10 times My Chemical Romance’s “Teenagers” became a protest anthem

September 16, 2020

These young people took a bit of advice from My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade hit “Teenagers” and showed off how “scary” they can be on TikTok.

Youths from around the world have been protesting their governments for a variety of reasons. Many American teens have shown up to Black Lives Matter protests in support of racial justice and police accountability and against racist political systems.

This video captures how young people are showing up to protest for BLM

@glossyzengen z is so funny like we will overthrow the government but won’t kill a bug ?✨ ##fyp ##blm ##protest ##genz ##blacklivesmatter ##NotOneThing ♬ Teenagers – My Chemical Romance

The coolest part about America’s youth is that they will dance mid protest with huge smiles on their faces as they fight against institutional racism. Hopefully, this will end up in a textbook one day.

This teen is just sprucing up his neighborhood to be more inclusive. Plus, he makes that cowboy hat look punk, doesn’t he?

Another perfect BLM montage of young people being badass

@taylorgarza56None of these are my videos BUT i felt like the song just fit perfectly ##blm ##blacklivesmatter @o000000000o0 @leoobanks @yadasa @kareemrahma♬ Teenagers – My Chemical Romance

Members of Gen Z will kick tear gas canisters back at police, but they can’t ask for water at restaurants. It’s both funny and wholesome.

The 2000 and 2001 kids showed up to protest U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s policies, too

The U.K. chose the wrong generation to screw over. Here are a few snapshots of young Brits in London protesting against the country’s proposed A-Level downgrading.

Gen Z has no time to look at these statues anymore

If Gen Z wants to learn about slave owners and historically racist men, they can do their own research. There’s no need to keep up certain monuments anymore.

Shoutout to millennials in this TikTok

Both members of Gen Z and millennials in their 20s and 30s are certainly a force to be reckoned with when it comes to protesting.

This perfect list of why teenagers are so scary

@andi.mirandasuper quirky generation ☺️? ##fyp ♬ Teenagers – My Chemical Romance

Gen Z isn’t afraid to troll the president and use TikTok to screw over one of his rallies. Pure poetry!

This TikTok where Gen Z is over these flags

Teenagers could care less as long as someone’ll bleed and if certain flags mysteriously end up on the ground.

This TikTok showing a generational glow-up

Young people fight for racial justice, environmental protection, education reform, political change and more. The future is in good hands with these “scary” teens.
