* ArcSymbol: The Killjoys' spider emblem. [[spoiler:A live spider resembling it gets into the brainwashing machine with Korse, allowing him to fight back and escape]]



* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Draculoid masks inflict this on whomever is forced to wear them. With an added bit of AndThenJohnWasAZombie involved since they appear to be able to resurrect the dead to do so.



* InkSuitActor: Korse, the BLInd elite S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W, takes a great resemblance to his original actor, Creator/GrantMorrison. Similarly, Steve, righ?'s character, Dr. Death Defying, is basically himself in a comic book.
* OfCorsetsSexy: The head of BLI combines this and WhipOfDominance to create an intimidating {{Dominatrix}} look when she's not wearing a suit.

''Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys'' is the fourth studio album by Music/MyChemicalRomance, released on November 22, 2010, by Creator/RepriseRecords. The concept of the album is based around the lives of the 'Fabulous Killjoys' with each band member posing as a different member. The Killjoys are a group of outlaws who are fighting against the evil corporation [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic Better Living Industries (BL/ind.)]] led by [[Creator/GrantMorrison Korse]], in the year 2019. Their guide is pirate radio DJ Dr. Death Defying. A website for Better Living Industries was launched in mid-November, betterlivingindustries.jp, featuring a mission statement, a report from the Zones and a merchandise store.

In terms of music, Danger Days is very much a {{lighter and|Softer}} - wait, no, that doesn't quite fit. It's definitely less angsty than previous MCR albums, even with the requisite rock opera [[DownerEnding ending]], and while many tracks keep the anthemic feel of their previous works, they're infused with a straightforward [[DrivesLikeCrazy high-octane]], [[MoreDakka raygun-laden]] [[CrazyIsCool psychotronic enthusiasm]] and tying together influences from modern Indie Rock, pop punk, and their old [[Music/{{Emo}} Emotive Hardcore]] sound to create something distinctly new.

* BigBad: The Control.
* ExtraStrengthMasquerade: The Analog War in general. The populace is unaware of the paranormal war happening around them, and every death is explained away as an accident, a murder-suicide, something mundane. After the war it becomes obvious that this is being enforced by products such as Sterelax as well as mass media control.
* ImmuneToBullets: Milligram's specialty.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The fate of the victorious Exterminators who won the Analog War. For our protagonists, it doesn't stick.
* OrwellianRetcon: How Animax breaks out of his brainwashing. [[spoiler: An entire chapter on Rosa Parks vanishes from the history books, no one seems to know about the Civil Rights movement, and he's the only one in his faculty that notices.]]
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The guns the Exterminators use turn trauma into ammunition.
* {{Surrealism}}: Runs rampant, between Milligram's WordSalad poetry, the SurrealHorror inhuman entities that get blasted, the fact that Mom and Dad (the leaders/employers of the Exterminators) are a pair of CRT televisions...
* YearX: Years given in the comic always have the last digit blurred out by technicolor static.

** "Vampire Money" is gosh darn full of it. The song was written in response to the band's choice [[TakeThat to not write a song]] for the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movies, Music/DavidBowie and Mark Bolan get a {{shout out}} and the opening is almost a perfect copy of "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet. There's also a shout-out to [[Music/TheWho "The Kids Are Alright"]].

* TakeThat: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3L6T0dfHa0 "Vampire Money"]] is a pretty snarky one directed at ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. Specifically, it takes the mickey at artists who contribute songs to the film franchise's soundtrack, written after they were asked to do a song for one of the films and refused.

* LighterAndSofter: ''Music/DangerDaysTheTrueLivesOfTheFabulousKilljoys''. While still embodying the band's strong language and edgy themes, this album seems like a much lighter direction in themes and musical style, particularly considering that the emo factor and dark imaginery are non-existent here. Instead, the band here opted for a much more punk rock style and musical elements of power pop and pop rock.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Oh so much between the album and the comics. To wit: [[spoiler: ''Destroya'' on the album ostensibly describes Party Poison's RoaringRampageOfRevenge...except it also verbatim describes Blue's story arc in the comics. She doesn't believe in luck. And she finds Destroya...who, as a robot, doesn't believe in God. Together they become the enemy of Battery City, ultimately destroying it]]

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


* KillEmAll: In the video for "SING", [[spoiler: all of the Killjoys]] die.
** In the album, only [[spoiler: Jet Star and the Kobra Kid]] die. [[spoiler: Or at least at that point.]]
** DESTROYA implies that [[spoiler: at least one of them survived]]. Some personally interpret that song as a RousingSpeech before what is either the Killjoys' [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice or [[EarnYourHappyEnding victory]]]]. Keep in mind that according to Dr. Death Defying's Twitter, there are "four generally accepted levels of dead" in the wastes.
** The official comics continuation so far indicates they all died...except for DJ Cherri Cola. Issue 2 mentions him as a former Killjoy who didn't go with the others to Battery City (as in, the events of the "SING" video) and ended up being the only surviving Killjoy as a result.
** The fate of "Vacation Adventure Club" in the "Dead Satellites" Free Comic Book Day story.
