The ‘emo scene’, specifically My Chemical Romance, was criticised by the coroner at the inquest into the death by hanging of a girl from Maidstone, Kent in the United Kingdom named Hannah Bond. The coroner expressed concern that they glamorized suicide and her apparent obsession with the band was said to be linked to her suicide. The inquest heard that Bond had been part of a “self-harming cult” and had said she wanted to join other suicide victims in the “black parade”.
