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.

Get the Fall Out Boy mug.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.

Get the Fall Out Boy mug.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.

Get the fall out boy mug.Fall out boy: A band of a genre undefined, certainly not Emo, CERTAINLY! not Punk, and CERTAINLY (well possibley pop) not pop. Their instrument playing is not bad, talent is infact involved. Many people find that their popularity in the teen girl crowd is annoying, I must agree to that. As a creative whole, the band does not deserve to ever be called "amazing," "Fucking awesome!," or anything along those lines. Why? Simply put, they sound (and do not deny it, if you do, your deaf and blind, and probably unfortunatley a fan.) just like every other modern day pop/"punk"/emo/w/e band out there on the market. They do not suck totally as musicians, they are just nothing special, bottom line. So everyone that says their great, or wonderful, or the best band of all time are ultimatley making foolish commnets about things they definetly do not fully, or do not at all, udnerstand. From now on, listen to fall out boy for what they really are, or what they really are to you, but dont ever think for a moment they are the best or better than another band, for "the worlds greatest band," cannot be defined nor does it exist.
Hey, Dude, Fall out boy is THE BEST BAND to ever grace our young ears!
Incorrect, they are talented musicicans indeed, but do not deserve this title, because they literally whine lyrically, and sonically sound no different than any othr band in their tight knit poser retro wannabe genre. The end.

Get the Fall out boy mug.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.

dumbass who has nothing better to do but to bash good music:"fall out boy sucks! their a bunch of posers!"
sane smart person: "no you dumbass, they dont suck. their amazing. actually listen to the music and dont just pay attention to what mtv is portraying them as, you bigot cunt!"
