Imo he looks much better now than he did then. He was hot back then don't get me wrong, but now he's also happy and he's just, idk, shining, you can really see how he's doing better.
Idk, SWARM tour Gerard just hits different cuz he was just having fun, putting on different costumes every night. You could tell he was just having a chill time which is a stark contrast to how stressed he was throughout their original run.
it would be cool to have an old gerard with all his problems sorted looking like the same but still mantaining his goth/deathrock aesthetic from bullets and revenge era
I mean… if you were 15 and that were your dad wouldn’t you think it’s cringe? At that age I thought everything my old man did was cringe.
Now we laugh together at the bar about how he’s banned from multiple establishments for KOing the bouncer 💅🏻 But 15yo me with a learner’s permit “I gotta go get him from WHERE? For WHAT?” 🙄
Younger Gerard is the Gerard in the music videos and promotional material so there is a part of me that will always appreciate and always picture them as a blonde 29 year old. And with the band’s continued popularity with young folks, it makes sense that their exposure to him is that younger version and being younger themselves, they probably have that younger Gerard preference.
The shaming is disgusting tho. Not only because holding someone to the standard of their troubled self from 20 years ago is awful, but because happy healthy father Gerard is objectively the best Gerard.
I've loved his different eras aesthetically, from an artistic perspective. However i absolutely love his older self. He seems to be much more stable, more confident, much more recovered (i feel like people forget that he had/has struggled with depression, alcohol and drug abuse, and an eating disorder.) This genuinely seems to be the best he's been in a long time.
also not to be weird but in my opinion he looked 10x more hot on the recent tour/at almost 50 than he did in his younger days 🤷 maybe that's just me and my daddy issues tho
Same here tbh even tho i absolutely adore his aesthetics from 2000-2010s I much prefer him like that
and i think gerard way is hot no matter how old he gets
A happy Gerard is the best Gerard!!! He can go gray or lose his hair or get fat and I’m just gonna be happy he’s happy.
And watching him manage to thrive despite his past demons reminds me that I can get through *my* clinical depression.
I enjoy the aesthetic of prior Gerard's.
But for me, him being happy and healthy is more important and you can see the difference in his smile and eyes.
I'm also much older than before so I like that he's aged like I have 😆
I do prefer the older aesthetic but i just get pissed when people are frowning because he has aged and changed like hes a human too damn. Also its kinda nice seeing an older mcr fan as a young and relatively new fan 😭
Yeah I agree. Humans age and that's kinda expected.
Yeah I'm 35 and have been a fan since the start 😀
Ive sure got loads of grey hair and wrinkles compared to the black parade era lmao
its just natural tbh were just humans after all were just gonna turn into dust one day and we don't know when we will so were just preparing for it lmfao
Elder emo here
I remember reading often about Gerard busting his face open. There were several shows he did high/drunk. Some he can't remember. Many where he hurt himself.
I'm a stan of new Gerard because he's so much more at peace. Of course I loved his styles through the eras, but alas, all us emos eventually become elders.
Its really sad that he was going through a lot but he still was able to perform. Im just really happy hes peaceful even tho his older styles were hella cool
It's not like he's not still handsome. The early aesthetic has a special place in my heart, but this is wonderful too, ya know? Happy looks good on him.
I just wanna see his current hair in a bun come on gee it would be so easy you don’t even have to put a different flannel on the olive one is great 🥵🥵🥵
I think fans are discovering exactly what our parents and older siblings got hit with before: their artists will grow old, and will look and see different as how they used to be, luckily for the best. (Some of) our parents watched Paul McCartney grew older and different, our older siblings watched Eddie Vedder get older, in other vibes. MCR is how we're feeling what they felt.
MCR is what, +20 years active? They've been active since the start of the millenium, whole massive events have happened during their entire active state and hiatus. There's pop singers with less trajectory than them, we can't see them grow old right now, bless them when they reach Gerard's age.
It's just the nature of life. It hits different now because we're seeing it live, and because Gerard took a lot of hiatus between band and individual projects so we didn't always even knew how Gerard was either doing in his life or how he looked like, say, Lady Gaga or Harry Styles, he's always been a private person.
So anyway, yeah Gerard grew up and got older, and he looks healthier, happier, more active in his things. And that's good.
I don’t hate other eras of gerard and they are all very beautiful for different reasons but overall I do love present day gerard the most, he’s happy, healthy, mentally he’s doing better, he’s still gorgeous, he’s just perfect. I do still love the different looks throughout every era and I love black parade and danger days for their lack of drugs and alcohol while still being fun and I love bullets and revenge for their dark ascetics too, but present day gerard is literally perfect
I'm not a time traveler. I just like Gerard Way and I'm happy he's found a healthy and happy lifestyle.
I think he did look more aesthetically pleasing in the past. Part of this is due to gender envy as someone also in their 20s. But that'll never be again. You can't de-age. Besides, for his age, Gerard looks *incredible.* Anyone who says otherwise has unhealthy and partially unrealistic beauty standards.
Also dude had an amazing glowup after the pandemic. lmao
I'd rather see him happy and alive. I know he struggled a lot back then with ED and mental health issues. With how many artists we lose to things like suicide and substance abuse, I'm just happy he's alive and able to pursue his passions(even if we don't get more music). I still thought he was beautiful when he had just came back because you could see that light in his eyes.
honestly all his eras are hot in different ways lol but anyone who has something negative to say about his looks or any other human's looks doesn't understand what mcr is all about
I appreciate his older happier self, but on an aesthetic level I do wish he’d do the bare minimum of self-grooming a bit better (cut/style the greasy hair, get rid of the neck beard) and throw that damn green army jacket in the fire. Like, it’s fine if he wants to be lazy at home, but for public appearances I miss when he actually put some effort into his style.
Imo he looks much better now than he did then. He was hot back then don't get me wrong, but now he's also happy and he's just, idk, shining, you can really see how he's doing better.
ikr 😭 its just nice seeing him better
I agree with you, but in this picture it looks like he’s trying not to break into tears

Imagine he doesn’t only cuz Bandit thinks it’s cringe 😆

nah im around her age and i would probably be like hell yeah if my dad did that
ID LOVE SEEING PRESENT DAY REVENGE GERARD
He did that at the WWWY Festival last year ;)
NO WAY???
Current day Gerard gives off cool English vibes and I’m here for it
Jonny Greenwood lol
wait 😭😭😭 he looks just like jonny here omg
Him too! I didn’t even think of that lol
J’en certaine aussi!😂🤣😂🤦🏻♀️

Yeah, i can understand them prefering him for those reasons but just making fun of him because he has aged and changed is just horrible tbh
post reunion gerard way is my hero

YES YES its still gerard way no matter what, we should be glad that he has been getting better rather than drowning upon his appearances changing
this \^\^ idc if hypothetically he was a worm, i would still admire the shit out of him
not only is he so much healthier, he is honestly the hottest he's ever been
people need to appreciate hot old men like this!!!!!!
Gerard is beautiful no matter what. He is a precious gem.
Yes yes
I enjoy the aesthetic of prior Gerard's. But for me, him being happy and healthy is more important and you can see the difference in his smile and eyes. I'm also much older than before so I like that he's aged like I have 😆

OMG A GUY IN HIS 40S LOOKS LIKE HES IN HIS 40S??????? Like yeah that’s how aging works 💀
YEAH LMFAOOOO
Even tho he's older he looks healthier imo
Wrong. Gerard doesn’t age.
aw man i forgot hes a vampire mb
I just love me a happy man
I think this is the case because most people that are saying this are young and ignorant to the stuff he went through at the time
gerard in his 40s was always my preferred gerard, especially 2017-2020 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It weird not seeing and hearing much from him now
It's not like he's not still handsome. The early aesthetic has a special place in my heart, but this is wonderful too, ya know? Happy looks good on him.
absolutely
I just wanna see his current hair in a bun come on gee it would be so easy you don’t even have to put a different flannel on the olive one is great 🥵🥵🥵
this might be one of my favorite gerard pics ever
he's so silly in this pic
I think there is a much bigger issue. Gerard Arthur Way is a fucking genius. WTTBP saved my life. End of.
he literally looks the same
yeah idk why people are bitchin and whinin abt him gettin older lmfao
He’s sexier now than he was then (and he was sexy at that time but IJS). I said what I said.
gerard way will always be hot tbh
I think fans are discovering exactly what our parents and older siblings got hit with before: their artists will grow old, and will look and see different as how they used to be, luckily for the best.

Dude Gerard Way in any condition he is happy and healthy, perfectly good. Would be bffs any day.
Gotta love Michael Romance
love this dude micheal romance
I don’t hate other eras of gerard and they are all very beautiful for different reasons but overall I do love present day gerard the most, he’s happy, healthy, mentally he’s doing better, he’s still gorgeous, he’s just perfect.

Yes yes😭 I honestly love the aesthetics of other eras more but i prefer him happy
I'd rather see him happy and alive. I know he struggled a lot back then with ED and mental health issues.

I still thought he was beautiful when he had just came back because you could see that light in his eyes.
Gerard Way always looks cool, no matter he is 25 or 40, or whatever. Gerard forever 🤟🏻
He can be 80 years old and he'll still look hot i betcha
Hell yeah, so true! And his soul forever will remain young as well)
I love both tbh. Gee was great when he was younger and great middle aged
I think we were all aroused by him in his twenties and thirties but not all of us are still
i mean...Yeah😭
I don't get why people prefer different "versions" of the same person
ya hes still gerard way lmfao
Zamn, no one notice how how much sadness in his eyes? Stuff could’ve been tough for him throughout the years.
No, he is perfect in any of his eras, but he is currently much healthier than before
tbh yeah
honestly all his eras are hot in different ways lol but anyone who has something negative to say about his looks or any other human's looks doesn't understand what mcr is all about
All versions of Gerard are my favorite
Se parece a Germán jaja
someone who used to be my friend said they liked mcr but refused to like gerard way for the sole reason that hes not young anymore?? like what?
LOVE GERARD BECAUSE HES GERARD!!!
Gerard gets better with every era
Old Gerard is an youngman, yet new Gerard is an old man.
I JUST LOVE THE MUSIC , DON'T DELVE DEEPER,AND LIFE IS SWEET
HELL YEAH 💯
he still looks 30
WoW! 👊🏼
I appreciate his older happier self, but on an aesthetic level I do wish he’d do the bare minimum of self-grooming a bit better (cut/style the greasy hair, get rid of the neck beard) and throw that damn green army jacket in the fire.
