Fob Survey Results

Hi! So, a few days ago I made a post asking u all to take a survey i made so i could, basically, just see the different opinions in the fandom and nearly 400 people responded, which is crazy! I didn’t know that many ppl still were in fob bandom 😳 Anyways, without further adieu, the results are enclosed below under the cut!

First, I wanna start with some disclaimers or lil housekeeping things. The first thing I wanna mention is that, obviously, this sampling of people is small compared to every single fan of them ever but regardless of that i’m still gonna be referring to it all very generally just bc that’s easier for me lol. Next, I made a pie chart for every single question just so there was a visual of it but a few of them are a bit stuffed, just because the sheer amount of variety in peoples answers, which is great! But I just wanted to warn, and assure that i’ll be breaking down the charts a bit below the pictures so it’s more comprehensible. Also everything is color coded to try and make it a little easier! Lastly, more info and like discussion about any of this is totally welcome! if u have q’s, ask me!

Question 1: When Did You Become A Fan?

This chart is one of the more comprehensible ones, thankfully. It shows that the era most fans became a fan was srar era, with 104 people answering that. The era with the least being tttyg era with only 5 people (technically pre-tttyg era/folie era since no one answered those). It’s so cool, to me, to see such a variety of answers! Fob rly are timeless 😌

Question 2: What’s Your Favorite Album?

I feel, for me, this one wasn’t a big surprise. Folie is clearly the fan favorite with 37%, while take this your grave is in last with only 9 people saying it was their fav. Again, lots of variety in this which is pretty cool to see! (also sorry that ab/aps name got cut off lol)(Also also justice for abap and mania)

Question 3: What’s Your Favorite EP/Non-Album?

Here, Lake Effect Kid Ep dominated the results with 126 people saying it was their favorite. B-Side was sort of close behind, with Pax Am Days in third. Here, what surprised me, was that anybody answered with eowyg or llamania, tbh. And, though I didn’t include it in the chart, 7 people answered saying they didn’t have a fav or hadn’t ever listened to one of them!

Question 4: Who’s Your Favorite Member?

This was one of the most biased questions with nearly 50% of u saying Patrick is your fav. I expected that, though I thought it’d be more of a battle between him and Pete. The only thing rly worth saying, ig, is that Andy and Joe deserve more love :(

Question 5: Favorite Fob Related Artist?

When I made this question and put mcr as an option I knew they’d be number one, so that’s not a shocker, to me. Here are your guys’ top 3 fob adjacent artists: 1. My chemical romance 2. Paramore 3. Panic! at the disco And, honestly, rest didn’t stand a chance against those 3 which I kinda expected but it is nice to see Some people appreciating cobra and gch! (Misc. answers included bands like idkhow, waterparks, as well as green day and elton john! Lots of variety!)

Question 6: What’s Your Favorite Song?

This question is where it starts to get a bit messier. I did my best to make it as clean as possible, but it still def looks a little wacky (sorry). According to you all, however, your top 3 favorite fob songs are as follows: 1. Disloyal order 2. (Coffee’s for closers) 3. Hum hallelujah Now, I am not at all surprised that disloyal order is that high up there, nor does hum hallelujah surprise me but coffee’s for closers kinda does! I’m also shocked that ginasfs isn’t higher. (where’s tkaa tho)

Question 7: Most Underrated Song?

Luckily, I managed to get this one a bit more organized looking (in my eyes) but, again, sorry if it’s messy! Regardless, according to you all, the top 3 most underrated fob songs are: 1. You’re crashing, but you’re no wave 2. From now on we are enemies = Headfirst slide 3. Twin Skeleton’s (Hotel in NYC) = Coffee’s for closers What is the funniest, and most interesting to me here, is that there are so many ties and also that 2 of these songs (Headfirst slide and coffee’s for closers) were in your top 5 favorite songs... making them clearly not underrated. I was delighted to see you’re crashing at 1, though. It hits hard.

Question 8: Most Overrated Song?

Now, with this one, I fully expected the results I got. It was very predictable: The singles are the most overrated. Something about them playing nonstop on the radio 6+ years ago rly bugged y’all (/j). Here are your top 3 most overrated songs: 1. Centuries 2. Uma Thurman = Immortals 3. My Songs I’m very very stunned to see what a catch on there. And to all the people that said mania and the kids aren’t alright: ow :(

Question 9: This Or That 1

All the this or that’s are pretty self-explanitory, I believe. By a very thing margin, you all prefer sugar over thnks fr the mmrs!

Question 10: This Or That 2

By another very thing margin, wams beat out just one yesterday.

Question 11: This Or That 3

A pattern you’ll notice is that all of these are super close... once again, by a thing margin, Immortals (famously disliked) beat out champion (even more disliked apparently)

Question 12: This Or That 4

This one was ridiculously close the entire survey, for a majority of it pavlove was winning, actually. But, at the very end, from now on we are enemies won it 183 to 146.

Question 13: This Or That 5

Lastly for the this or that series, we have the most biased one. I thought this would be closer, but clearly you all have a Lot of love for disloyal order, picking it over the kids aren’t alright 240 to 105. That’s fuckin crazy.

Question 14: What’s Your Favorite Lyric?

For this one, so many people answered so many different lyrics all presented in a different way that I physically could not bring myself to organize them like i did the previous song questions. So, I present to you the songs that were quoted/referenced the most and therefore are precieved to have the best lyricism, according to you all. The top 3 most mentioned songs are: 1. Disloyal order (shocker) 2. Hum Hallelujah 3. Wams = Miss Missing You What surprised me the most here was that apparently overrated songs appeared, with a few people mentioning centuries, my songs, what a catch among others. And that disloyal order once again came out on top.

Conclusion: What I learned from this is follows; the fob fandom (on here) is made up of people with somehow both very varied and yet congruent opinions. We might not all have the same favorite album or ep but we do all lose our minds to disloyal order and think that patrick is the best which i think is just beautiful. (Feel free to come into my inbox and talk to me about this!! Naturally, I have all the data- the stuff that’s hard to see or wasn’t shown on the charts is interesting too. I’d love to talk about any of it!)

#this was a gigantic undertaking and labor of love my god #anyways this better get notes!! u better rb it!! i did not waste away for nothing!!#(in all seriousness this was very fun and interesting and i would love to do something like it again. i hope u all enjoyed it too #and that i presented the data in a way that made sense. i am very worried that it doesnt make sense but im sure it does gksjfk)#txt

MUSIC!!! fall out boy! flora cash! twenty one pilots ;)! andddd billie eilish

I saved the best for last and... well, this is *extremely* late hahaha (sorry for keeping you waiting, @medievalraven, but ty for this!!)

If I know them: Fall Out Boy

Favourite Song: Dance, Dance (honorable mentions: Saturday, Chicago Is So Two Years Ago, Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying, I’ve Got a Dark Alley, Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, The (After) Life Of The Party, What A Catch Donnie, Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown, Jet Pack Blues, Heaven’s Gate, etc.)

Least Favourite Song: N/A—I just don’t think it’s possible to choose

Favourite Album: Infinity On High (From Under The Cork Tree is a close second, followed by a three-way-tie that constantly shifts between Folie a Deux, Save Rock & Roll, AB/AP... and of course, honorable mention to Take This To Your Grave)

Least Favourite Album: I mean, as much as I enjoy it (and I do, I love it)... M A N I A is probably my least favorite

Song that got me into them: Grand Theft Autumn (hmm actually it was probably the entire Take This To Your Grave album that my sister had a burned copy of—I don’t think I really got *into* them until From Under The Cork Tree though. That’s when I went DEEP and starting digging for b-sides and unreleased songs and demos and remixes. You should see my itunes library hahaha)

Seen Live?: Yes! So many times. I even saw them live in sydney, australia two years ago. Totally underestimated how bizarre (and exciting!) it’d be to see my hometown heroes playing in my aussie bff’s hometown across the globe.

Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | *10*

If I know them: twenty one pilots (the sweet, sweet torture of trying to choose my favorites from my absolute most top fave band??? UNBELIEVABLE.)

Favourite Song: Trees (honorable mentions: Migraine, Car Radio, Heavydirtysoul, Hometown, Lane Boy, Heathens, Nico and the Niners, Pet Cheetah, Neon Gravestones, Kitchen Sink)

Least Favourite Song: N/A—I just refuse to choose hahaha

Favourite Album: Blurryface (BUT Vessel and Trench are locked in together for second-fave because they both got me through some of the roughest mental health seasons I’ve had in recent years—Vessel was like this safety blanket for bad anxiety days when I HAD to be out and about. And then TOP emerged from their hiatus while I was living abroad and struggling with depression and a few months later, Trench was released. I was desperately searching for a therapist at that point. So like, they’re very much a part of me.)

Least Favourite Album: Ok so... ugh, this feels unfair bc I know them the least, but... TOP’s pre-Vessel albums are my least favorite. I *love* a handful of songs from their early days (Kitchen Sink, Forest, March to the Sea, Taxi Cab, etc.), but those albums are my least fave overall.

Song that got me into them: Fairly Local (I remember hearing Holding Onto You and House Of Gold on the radio a LOT throughout the summer of 2013—but I didn’t actively get into them until the music video for Fairly Local dropped in early 2015. I went from zero to a thousand on twenty one pilots between the intro and the first chorus of Fairly Local—like it took thirty seconds. Totally captivated.)

Seen Live?: GOD YES. and it’s always, ALWAYS a full-body, emotional experience. twenty one pilots concerts are my church.

Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | *100000000*

and because i’ve over-answered these first two, the other two are under the cut!

(oops who else wants to fire up my music opinions)

If I know them: Billie Eilish

Favourite Song: you should see me in a crown (but tbh bad guy and bury a friend are close second/third)

Least Favourite Song: N/A

Favourite Album: WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

Least Favourite Album: N/A

Song that got me into them: you should see me in a crown (BUT her album came out when we were well into good girls s2 and the whole ~vibe~ of it reminded me of beth/rio and that’s about the time i really got hooked)

Seen Live?: no, but I would LOVE to.

Rate: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | *8* | 9 | 10

If I don’t know them: flora cash (lmao i know a grand total of *ONE* of their songs, but i’ve claimed to love them—so much so that i included them in a music ask to @mego42—and yet.)

First song spotify took me to: Missing Home (had to skip over ‘you’re somebody else’ bc it’s the one song i know)

First Impression: a mellow bop, whispery vocals that make me feel things

Do I like it?: love it

Would I listen to more from them?: oh for sure! i didn’t realize they had any albums bc i’m a silly goose who didn’t look beyond ‘you’re somebody else,’ so i’m actually v excited to listen to more from them!

Rate (from what I heard): 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | *8.5* | 9 | 10

#music ask game #things i answered #oh look she's talking about music again #medievalraven #DON'T QUOTE ME ON ANY OF THIS #i have opinions about music #but it is very hard to choose favorites of my favorites
