seeing what each ex-Panic! member evolved into at this point is so fascinating. Ryan Ross is Missing, Jon Walker is Funny Instagram Stoner, Brent Wilson is Literally In Jail, Spencer Smith is Record Label Man, and Brendon is Vaguely Cancelled Pop Star
Adam Levine flirting with woman in his DMs: “I may need to see the booty. Fuckkkk”
Pete Wentz flirting with Ryan Ross in his lyrics: “Say my name and his in the same breath, I dare you to say they taste the same.”
the fact that ppl were mad at the new mcr song because it’s “too long” “production sounds weird” “not a radio anthem” is actually SO fuckin cool to me - reminds me of that “punk rock” thing ppl are always talking about
at the risk of sounding pretentious i’m rlly proud of MCR and paramore and other legacy acts for not ~hopping on the mgk wave~ and ~making throwback poppunk~. love when artists continue pushing themselves forward and the stepping outside boundaries
Good Morning, “Brendon Urie” was a 19 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.
every emo kid gets 1 cancelled artist they can still listen to without moral repercussion (a philosophy i am proclaiming now) and i am here to tell you that band for me is Saves The Day
listening to Death Of A Bachelor in an “I am Pete wentz listening to a pop artist i have signed to my record label” kind of way, not an r/panicatthedisco kind of way
Pete wentz: “well yknow, at the time, pop music was all four on the floor dance music, like Lady Gaga just exploded, so it was a weird time to make a record like Folie a deux”
Starbucks barista: “i understand that sir but i just need to know what size you want”
Love how fall out boy is staying staunch about their “we don’t do album play throughs” policy even when they’re headlining the Album Play Through Festival. in typical FOB fashion that serves so much c*nt and i don’t even know why
one of my favorite fall out boy moments is when they start off tiffany blews with one of their sexiest sounding intros ever before going straight into the lyric “im not a crybaby, i’m THE crybaby”. fucking bold
not to be delulu on main but
“I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me”
“I missed your skin when you were east, you clicked your heels and wished for me”
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
the "pop punk revival" has way too much chad LA rich famous hollywood douchebag energy for me. it doesnt seem genuine or cool. if it was some artists from like the midwest who werent already on a major label to begin with it would be cool imo
attack attack! did many things that were ahead of the curve, one of them being leaving a crying austin carlile behind in a parking lot in utah while they drove away in their van
thinking about the time i jokingly tweeted “anyone know any good male-fronted pop punk bands?” and i got over 100 genuine replies of people either tagging their own band or being like “neck deep”
might get cancelled for this but i find it disrespectful when people don't stand for the national anthem. personally i think it's beautiful and i get goosebumps every time i hear “throw it away, forget yesterday, we’ll make the great escape”
fall out boy are the only band where when i start reading ppls opinions about which albums are good and which are bad i actually start to get genuinely angry and have to put my phone down and take deep breaths to get my blood pressure back to normal
remember that video of fall out boy returning to the house they lived in during take this to your grave 10 years later and pete just looked like he wanted to unalive himself so badly during the whole thing
thinking about it now, the fact that Brendon Urie followed up his return to mainstream success album, at the height of emo revival, with a weird throwaway Queen/Thin Lizzy sounding album, and then ended the band, is actually pretty fucking funny
teenagers on tik tok: omg I need a time machine to 2007 i was born too late
12 year old me on the internet in 2007: -just got called a gay cocksucker for the fourth time in 30 minutes because i said that i liked panic! at the disco on a forum-
Andy hurley literally went from “im in a late 90s vegan straight edge political animal rights metalcore band” (the least sexually attractive thing on earth) to “im in fall out boy” (the most sexually attractive thing on earth)
just wanna be annoying and fact check here: fueled by ramen was created by John Janick and the drummer of less than jake in the 90s. once FOB and the emo mainstream boom happened many of their bands already had lowkey deals with majors but used FBR as a launching pad
just saw someone on fall out boy reddit say they don’t like thriller much because of Jay Z and I’m like 🤯 are y’all tasteless or racist or both bcuz Jay Z on that into is one of the sickest things they’ve ever done and then im like oh yeah why the fuck am i on reddit
Pete wentz was playing in hardcore bands in the early 2000s and then he linked up with Patrick and was like “Yo… how bout we start making music… For Women™️”
actually cannot believe that The Academy Is… are opening for Fall Out Boy tonight at a literal baseball stadium?? in the year 2023??? while i am not there physically the sheer fact this is happening is helping me ascend to my final form…
emo music is funny like mayday parade are amazing but if i was writing a song and wrote the lyric “the moral this time is, girls make boys cry” id def be like “ehhh I’m scrapping that one lol” but in their song it absolutely rips
my fear for years has been that the day after i finally get a FOB tattoo Pete wentz is gonna get exposed for having 13 year old girls chained up in his basement or some shit. i don’t wanna jinx it
“i sleep with your old shirts and walk through this house in your shoes, i know it’s strange, it’s a strange way of saying that i know i’m supposed to love you” 😭😤😥🫠
when pete wentz said “the tree i used to lay beneath, kissed teeth stained red, from a sour bottle baby girl with eyes the size of baby worlds” he snapped
whenever i see people say that Mania by fall out boy is “EDM” im like okay you listened to the chorus of young and menace once and didn’t listen to a single other song on the album and proceeded to run your big mouth on the internet
i feel like every time pete wentz is asked a question about folie a deux in an interview he always starts off saying “well pop music at the time was all four on the floor dance music, like lady Gaga” has anyone else noticed this lololol
fall out boy were given a major label budget and said “alright cool so we’re gonna do a Jay Z intro into a Racetraitor breakdown. that how we’re gonna open the album” 🤯
i need a group like alcoholics anonymous but for people who convinced themselves they were going to be in an extremely world famous rock band for the rest of their life when they were teenaged and literally didn’t plan for anything else
After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.
most of the jokes about Panic!'s breakup are funny and justified, but:
I will miss it. I grew up with Panic!. I've never known a world without Panic!. They were an important band. Changed the game. It was interesting to see where Brendon took it toward the end.
Hating on Mgk is completely justified in my eyes it’s like hating on evil corporations like Amazon or Walmart it’s always appropriate and totally deserved 😂😂 Keep hating y’all
new fob blew my head off! feels like infinity/Folie vibes, but a logical next step after mania… it’s darker than I was expecting. as much as I love their recent albums, it feels like the first single that should have followed Folie back in 2013
as a longtime pop punk guy, machine gun kelly has inspired me to follow my heart and completely change lanes and start making terrible 2012 redneck white boy rap only to be crowned the “prince of the genre”
