A (now) mainstream four-piece band categorized as pop punk, pop rock, emo, or combinations of the three. Known for their nasal vocalist, simplistic guitar riffs, basslines consisting of no more than four notes which cannot even be successfully played at a live show, and "poetic" lyrics such as "WE'RE GOIN" DOWN, DOWN, ENALURBLYURAAHLL...", it's no surprise that Fall Out Boy is one of the most popular rock acts today, particularly among 14-21 year old females and males confused about their orientation.
Fall Out Boy differs from similar bands in that their bassist acts as (or tries to act as) the frontman of the group, without singing or adequately playing his instrument. Though he ranks as the least talented member of the band, Pete Wentz garners most of the group's media attention, being the only 6 while surrounded by 3's and 4's. Pete also writes the "brilliant lyrics" indecipherably crooned by singer Patrick Stump. In an attempt to appear quirky and clever, titles of Fall Out Boy songs are usually a sentence long. The exposure of Wentz' genitalia is irrelevent and was likely brought to the media forefront by the band itself as a failed publicity stunt.
Taking note of the band's lack of... everything, it is a mystery how Fall Out Boy is successfully marketed. There are no timeless hooks, no particularly attractive band members to get the teenyboppers riled up, nothing instrumentally impressive or innovative, and nothing that hasn't been done before several times (and with less ego) by Blink 182 or even Simple Plan. The success of Fall Out Boy remains an enigma, as well as a trademark of the tastelessness of teenage youth and anyone who refers to themself as emo.

Get the fall off a cliff mug.Related Words
Fall Out Boy is a band with amazing lyrics and songs that's not particularly famous (I can't figure out why). I recommend "Tell that mick he just made my list of things ot do today", "grand theft autumn", and "nobody puts baby in the corner". Along with their entire new album, "Take This To Your Grave".
i hope you choke on those words, that kiss, that bottle
so bury me in memory
now ash yourself, yeah, out on the inside
said i loved you but i lied...

Get the Fallshow mug.Fallston High School (or “Heroin High”) is a public high school in Fallston, Maryland. It’s colors are Orange, White, and Brown and nobody likes them. It’s filled with mostly rich and upper-middle class white kids who form toxic cliques of kids from every area. They have a historic rivalry with the neighboring town Bel Air High School, and an utter bloodbath of a rivalry with North Harford High School. The clubs are subpar at best and the sports teams are either really good or really bad and switch every 5-10 years or so. The players on the sports teams are usually very athletic but are too egotistical to be part of the actual team. Teachers are biased and not good at their job, the staff is filled with pedophiles and brown nosers, and the people who run it don’t give any kinds of shits about the students that don’t play sports or are high ranking club members.
