Does Machine Gun Kelly's New Razor Blade-Shaped Guitar Promote Self-Harm?
Machine Gun Kelly is under fire for his latest guitar collaboration with Schecter Guitars, because people say it promotes self-harm.
That's because it's an electric guitar with a razor blade-shaped body in metallic silver. It's creatively called "The Machine Gun Kelly Razor Blade".
In case you didn't know, there's a stereotype within the pop-punk/emo genre that fans cut themselves.
When MGK introduced the guitar at a recent show, he said it's an ode to the crazy times he had in his 20s and an ode to his album "Tickets to My Downfall", and a lyric from the song "Title Track".
He also took to Twitter to say, quote, "I'll never explain my art, because true art is conversational and always up for interpretation . . .
"But I will say, most of you constantly interpret it wrong and then blame me for your version of what you think my art is. Ultimately I'm sad at how people perceive me in general. Peace."

But all great things are gonna come to an end at some point. And I just never forgot that.”
