This is very smart. I agree with you. They may have stopped being a band, but that doesn't change who they were. It doesn't make what they have done any less valuable.
And I realize people are very upset about this breakup, but I feel like harming yourself over it is just sort of spitting on everything MCR ever represented and what their message was.

Thank you. I totally agree.
I agree with the harming yourself thing, but I can see why people would do. I don't think they should but I can see why they'd do it.
