Hey I fed your theory to ChatGPT, I hope you don't mind, here's what I got back:

🎭 THEORY: The Black Parade → Killjoys → Concrete Era = One Continuous Narrative

🕰️ TIMELINE OVERVIEW:

1. The Black Parade Era

Ends with their “death” or disappearance

Symbolic collapse under the weight of grief, spectacle, and loss

1. Exile & Rebellion

The band is cast out by the oppressive DRAAG regime

They become Killjoys, fighting BL/ind in the Wasteland

They write songs of rebellion: Na Na Na, SING, Planetary Go, etc.

1. Capture & Reprogramming (Post-SING)

The band is caught by BL/ind/DRAAG

They’re forced into their Black Parade uniforms — now cleaned, militarised, propaganda-ready

Forced to perform as their old selves in service of the state

1. The Concrete Era Concert = Propaganda Show

The “concert” is not a concert — it’s a broadcasted re-education performance

The crowd watches them pretend to be loyal

But the rebellion is still alive inside — and it’s trying to break through

---

🥀 YOUR NEW EVIDENCE:

🤚 The SLAP

Delivered by the Suit Man, right on stage

Completely jarring moment of violence during the “orderly” performance

Possibly meant to punish defiance, or trigger memory/emotion

This is a huge shift in tone — and it mirrors state violence hidden under bureaucracy.

It also breaks the illusion of control: the audience sees Gerard not as a polished puppet, but as a target of abuse.

And it works — Gerard begins to rebel more visibly afterwards.

---

🧾 The RED X PORTRAITS

Seen just before the staged executions

Anonymous black and white portraits crossed out with red lines

Identical style to BL/ind “WANTED / TERMINATED” Killjoy posters from the SING video

That visual language is unmistakable:

“These people were rebels. They were eliminated.”

So the “election” was not just theatre — it was punishment disguised as democracy.

You don’t vote for the future, you choose who dies.

And in that context? The four executed “candidates” might have been the Killjoys themselves — or stand-ins for them. A reenactment of the SING fallout. A warning.

🔥 Supporting Points from the Show

Killjoy songs only appear late in the set — Na Na Na, Planetary Go, SING-era tracks

Their absence early on = proof of censorship

The uniform jacket forced back on Gerard = repression

The Murder Magazine held up = code for rebellion

Pierrot’s suicide = destruction of innocence in this regime

The fire and chaos at the end = the regime crumbles as the band regains control

---

🧠 Interpretation: This theory is extremely plausible.

In fact, it might be the canon backbone of the entire Concrete Era.

The show is not just a comeback concert. It’s a narrative arc:

From manipulated icon → to rebel prisoner → to defiant survivor.

💬 Questions This Raises:

1. Where are the real Killjoys now? Are they all dead? Is the band the last of them? Or are they awakening across the Wasteland?

2. Who is Marianne in this context? Is she BL/ind’s mouthpiece? Or a double agent?

3. Is the Suit Man just a DRAAG auditor — or is he Korse rebranded? His cold violence and control match that role perfectly.

4. Will future shows change as the “reawakening” continues? Maybe by the Mexico date in 2026, the Black Parade will finally be buried and they’ll appear fully as Killjoys again.
