Response to Megan I agree with what Megan has posted on how Mayday Parade wasn’t very well known in the beginning. Many people thought of it as a punk rock or emo band and it had many stereotypical judgments. I think as the years have gone on Mayday is a little more known and better understood. More people of this generation listen to it and ever since their first big appearance in 2006 they have grown more and more. They were able to sell over 50,000 copies without any help from a label. After signing with Atlanta Records in 2009 they really got noticed. I agree with Megan when she says they can relate to almost any teenager because they really can. Their songs put out lots of messages to teens about love and family and just living in a world where times aren’t always the easiest. They can help many teens throughout the day just by sending encouraging messages through the lyrics in their songs. Mayday does stand out from other bands as well. They focus on teens as a whole and don’t just target one gender which most other bands don’t do. now in 2013 Mayday has released their 4th track “Monsters in the Closet” and are still becoming discovered by other people and are still just as popular!
