A "punk-pop" band which could be classified as emo. They have done little for music, and are not innovative in any sense of the word. They are not interesting although the lyrics are occasionally well written. They are popluar due to good marketing and admittedly catchy, if not particularly good songs.
1)
Poser: I love Fall Out Boy! They're sooo talented and alternative!!
Normal Person: Wait, what, seriously?
2) Yes, I think the songs are catchy, fun, fluff; no I don't respect them as artists.

Ok, so Fall Out Boy is pretty much the best band ever.They say you can't understand them, but if you really listen to the songs instead of looking at their bodies, you will hear the clever, funny, and beautiful lyrics and music.They are made up of Patrick Stump(lead singer, rhythm guitarist, main composer),Joe Trohman(lead guitarist, backup vocals),Andy Hurley(drums),and Pete Wentz(bassist, lyricist).Fall Out Boy is from Chicago, and can make me smile any day.Oh, and by the way, THEY ARE NOT EMO! Idiots.
FOB Fangirl:LYKE, OMG! FALL OUT BOY ROX AND THEIR LEAD SINGER, PETE, IS SO HAWTT!
Me:You idiot, Patrick is the lead singer.STOP LISTENING TO THEM BECAUSE YOU THINK THEY ARE HOT!Idiots.

A somewhat talented, yet excessively typical, pop-punk/emo-core band that stands behind some douche who tries to sing with food in his mouth.

Listen to fall out boy before "Sugar, we're going down" and you'll see that they are not emo and they are not like EVERY other pop rock band.
patrick is an amazing singer,
the bands music just doesnt show it off that much.
if you listen to patrick sing "almost like being in love" then you'll se what i mean.
he is an amazing singer.
and andy hurley is an AMAZING drummer. not only does he have great technical skill, but he has passion.
joe trohman is an awesome guitarist.
listen to him play "beat it" and you'll see what i mean.
its easy to play bass in a pop rock band, so its impossible to judge pete on that. but he DOES write amazing lyrics. and their not whiny and "emo". technically, their "emotional", but what lyrics arent? all good lyrics have to do with emotion, whether happiness, sadness, madness, or whatever. and they are amazing lyrics. they use tons of literary devices like metaphors, alliteration, and all that. they are like poetry.
and if you listen to them live on tv, they will sound horrible. thats seriously just the sucky recording quality. and they did have lives before MTV. if anything, they were even better and more respected before MTV. MTV ruined their careers and their reputations by playing only 2 or 3 of their songs constantly, causing people to call them "sell outs". when in reality, THEY didnt sell themselves out, MTV did. mtv is the cause of all that. mtv and the teenybopper girls who watch mtv.
these days its true that some of the fans are those teeny bopper girls, which is once again mtv's fault. but there is still a HUGE portion of fob fans who are not brainwashed by mtv into liking them, and liked them BEFORE mtv.
dont call me a poser and dont say i have shitty taste in music. because i liked fob when they began, before they even played a crowd of 100 people, so i'm NOT one of those poser teeny-bopper mtv obsessed little girls.
if you think they suck, listen to take this to your grave and ALL of from under the cork tree, not just sugar we're going down. then tell me what you think.
and see them in concert. its worth it.
