I CAN BE YOUR DOG OR YOUR BULLET BUT I'M ALWAYS ASTRAY. WHENEVER I THINK OF YOU I GO GLACIAL BLUE IN MY CHEST. TRAFFIC TWISTING UP THE 405 LIKE CANDY GOING SiCKLY SWEET AND THEN SOUR AND THEN SiCKLY SWEET AGAIN. IMAGINE MYSELF IN THE IRON MAN SUiT AND THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK "DELPOY LONELINESS COUNTERMEASURES". I'M WILE E. CAYOTE SECONDS BEFORE HE REALIZES THE GROUND ISN'T UNDER HIM. I'M STANDING IN THE SKY. I AM PREDOOM I AM THE BARBARIANS, I AM THE GATE, I AM THE MOUNTAIN I AM THE MAN LOOKING UP

you have a point about people not liking fob because they’re homophobic/racist, but if I didn’t actually listen to fob I would think they occupied the same niche as maroon five. a lot of people hate fob because they hate their hits and haven’t heard anything else, so of course they’re surprised when you play something that doesn’t sound like shitty high school soccer entrance music. at the same time fob has billions and billions of streams and is one of the most popular bands in the world lol I wouldn’t say they’re underdogs (anymore)
I do agree, like Centuries has done them no favors. But I think more, like, their place within social consciousness today has grown from just a pre-existing culture of hating Fall Out Boy for homophobic/racist/sexist reasons. The way a lot of people clown on Nickelback for sucking but never actually listen to them, which I am so totally guilty of. Maybe there's a good reason to hate Nickelback or maybe there isn't, I don't know, but I don't think people really hate Nickelback because of what tiny portion of their music they've heard, they hate Nickelback because we all hate Nickelback. Maybe for similar reasons to Fall Out Boy, maybe cause their music genuinely sucks. Couldn't tell you which. Tbf, if all I ever heard of FOB was Centuries, I also probably wouldn't like them much, but most people HAVE heard better Fall Out Boy songs that are more representative of their discography like Sugar or Thnks fr th Mmrs. At the end of the day, I think people hate Fall Out Boy first because they know they are supposed to (even if they don't know why) and songs like Centuries are after thoughts. Maybe they aren't underdogs but they certainly get underestimated.

I always think about how a HUGE amount of hate for Fall Out Boy comes from homophobia and racism in the early 2000s. Like you look at old chatroom shit where people talk about why they don't like Fall Out Boy, most of what you see is "cuz Pete Wentz is gay". A lot of criticism for their music was (not explicitly, but pretty easy to extrapolate) about how they mixed punk with other, predominately black genres. IMO most modern hate for them is because people know we used to hate them but can't remember why, so they just go with it. Obviously people aren't obligated to like certain music if it isn't their thing, but I know damn well half of their discography would be ADORED today if people actually bothered to listen. The amount of people who I've shown FOB music to who were surprised that they actually liked it? They have been done sooo damn dirty, give these boys the legacy they deserve.

my favorite lyrics off so much (for) star dust because pete wentz es mi novia <3
"The city always hangs a little bit lonely on me, loose/Like a kid playing pretend in his father's suit"
"The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end, good in the end/Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain: "Give up what you love/Give up what you love before it does you in…""
"But could we please pretend this won't end?"
"I'm just a cherub riding comets through the night sky/Screaming at the stars like night lights"
"Love is in the air, I just gotta figure out a window to break out"
"But I'm not sad anymore" + "But I sweat I'm not sad anymore"
"I've unspooled on the floor"
"I will never ask you for anything/Except to dream sweet of me"
"Save your breath/Half your life you've been hooked on death"
"I'm still a sunbeam" :-(
"I ripped myself apart/I'll be whatever you need me to be, you need me to be/I cut myself down, cut myself down/To whatever you need me"
"And I ride my own melt"
"The trumpets bring the angels, but they never came/And no one let them in 'cause they didn't know my name"
"Last night, I dreamt I still knew you, you/I carved out a place in this world for two/But it's empty without you"
"All this effort to make it look effortless" (we must make it hard to look so easy doing something so hard)
"I can't stop, can't stop 'til we catch all your ears though/Somewhere between Mike Tyson and Van Gogh"
All of Baby Annihilation but especially: "An alligator prince with crocodile tears, too many to count"
"Time is luck, and I wish ours overlapped more or for longer"
"Charcoal crushed, pixie fever, angel dust/Stuck in a wasteland we covered in glitter and broadcast just for a little serotonin"
"Self-sabotage at best, under your spell"
"What is there between us, if not a little annihilation?"
Brilliant.
"I'm pretty sure, as far as humans go/I am a hard, hard pill to swallow/And I know I'm not your intended dose"
"On the bright side/Got the wrong insides"
"Ten years in a bit of chemical haze/And I miss the way that I felt/Nothing"
"It breaks your heart, but four of the Ramones are dead"
"But you don't know me anymore"
"The view's so pretty/From the deck of a sinking ship"
"Stars are the same as ever, I don't have the guts to keep it together"
"I need the sound of crowds, or I can't fall asleep at night/I can't take my thoughts and I/Can't take my thoughts and I am awake"
"Ache it til you make it" made me laugh when I read it not sure if I like it but its silly

since no one else will say it, I'm a stitch away from making it and a scar away from falling apart. Blood cells pixelate and eyes dilate. Kiss away young thrills and kills on the mouths of all my friends.

I watched Skam when I was in like elementary school and tbh I'm convinced it warped my perception of love irreparably. I don't even think I could like someone who won't be willing to break into someone's house so they can kiss me in their pool and recreate their favorite movie.

ryan ross is stronger than me. if a guy who used to be one of my best friends continued using the name of the band i started and still profited off of singing deeply personal songs i wrote about my late father’s alcoholism i think id kill him
