DEFINITION: A fictional language and script created for My Chemical Romance’s (MCR) Long Live the Black Parade tour, as part of the dystopian world depicted in its promotional materials. Artist Nate Piekos developed its visual writing system in collaboration with frontman Gerard Way.

The visual script style is heavily rooted in the Cyrillic alphabet, brutalist architecture, and 1930s/1940s European propaganda posters.

ETYMOLOGY: While the word itself has no official etymology, it was specifically invented to serve as the name for the oppressive, fictional language of Draag, the dystopian nation featured in the lore of the band’s Long Live The Black Parade tour.
