[thnks-pt]

As someone who agrees that Mania is not Fall Out Boy's best album, I will continue to defend that album forever. I can not explain in words what Last of the Real Ones does to me.

hii! here's my other piece from the zine Sing It Like The Kids That Are Mean To You (created by @thrashbeatles and laid out by @birdloaf, get your physical copy here (when its in stock) and your digital copy here)

Pete Wentz is, in many ways, the driving force behind Fall Out Boy, and he is a biracial black man. It is no surprise, then, that blackness is ever-present within the band’s art, through genre, through lyrics, through politics. Let’s talk about how race colours their work.

            To start, black genre influences are scattered throughout the band’s discography. The album art of Take This to Your Grave is an homage to John Coltrane’s iconic album Blue Train. Infinity on High is filled to the brim with funk, soul and R&B influences on songs like I’m Like a Lawyer with the Way I’m Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You) and This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race. American Beauty/American Psycho was an experiment in emulating mixtape culture, filled with samples and electronic beats, and getting its own remix album, Make America Psycho Again. M A  N   I    A drew its influence from dancehall and reggae, especially on Sunshine Riptide and HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T. They haven’t been shy about incorporating black genres into their work, and in fact, it seems to be a staple for them.

            Additionally, Pete Wentz’s lyricism in and of itself is in fact heavily influenced by black art, and one could argue it is quintessentially the work of a black poet. In his lyrics are strategic plays on words, inversions and remixes of classic phrases, and an endless stream of cultural references, all akin to the wit and flow of a rapper. Think lines like “I’m a painter and I’m drawing a blank,” or “You take the full, full truth and you pour some out.” Indeed, in his words you’ll even find braggadocio, a staple in hip hop, though his comes with a helping of self-deprecation, like in the line “Signing off, I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen/The kid was alright then it went to his head.” This is arguably a feature which endears so many people to his work, and it is the one which shows his blackness most evidently.

            Finally, while Fall Out Boy itself is not an overtly political act, the band has at times used their music to espouse black politics. In You’re Crashing, But You’re No Wave, the lyrics tell the story of Fred Hampton Jr’s conviction for aggravated arson following the 1992 LA riots protesting the acquittal of the police officers who murdered Rodney King. The song Novocaine also deals with black politics, being inspired by the murder of Trayvon Martin and primarily about the corruption of and threat posed by the police to black youth.

            The core idea behind Fall Out Boy is to make music “for the kids who feel like they don’t fit in anywhere”. When that sentiment is espoused by a man who grew up as part of the only black family in his neighbourhood, it gains a whole new meaning. Fall Out Boy is, in a very real way, for niggas.

Hey there

Favourite fall out boy songs?

Hey! What's up? I know you asked this a long time ago, but I've been off Tumblr for a while.

Anyway, my favorite FOB songs vary depending on my mood, tbh. But among them and forever present are:

• A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"

• INFINITY ON HIGH FULL ALBUM (sorry but every song seems like a work of art that deserves to be heard)

• GOLDEN!!! (Yes, it's from IOH too, but please it's a great song!!!)

• I Miss Missing You

• Young volcanoes

• Jet Pack Blues

• Fake out

• Hold me like a grudge

There are surely more that I love with all my heart and I'm probably forgetting them now. But the truth is that there isn't a Fall Out Boy song I don't love :') (let's just say that "Make America Psycho Again" is the only album where I skip most of the songs).

And I also want to give an honorable mention to Patrick's cover of "So Sick" bc I literally listen to it EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.

Thanks for asking me this, I would like to know your favorite songs too!! :D

me: hi spotify can you please shuffle this 144 song playlist I made of fall out boy's whole discography?

spotify: sure. I will now play the entirety of make america psycho again

[somuch4stardust]

this list of songs fall out boy has never played live is literally gut punch after gut punch

[fandomfluffandfuck]

*points finger guns and holds a pretend microphone* what’s your favourite and least favourite Fall Out Boy album? (Sorry if it’s off topic for your blog but I’m nosy)

*takes the microphone immediately*

(Do not apologize at all! I will take literally ANY chance to talk about music, Fall Out Boy especially, that I can.)

This isn't even me being a simp--I swear to fucking god--but I literally don't think I can give you an answer for my least favorite album. I could listen to any album any time and enjoy myself. So Much (for) Stardust, Lake Effect Kid, Mania, American Beauty/American Psycho, PAX AM Days, Save Rock and Roll, Folie à Deux, Infinity on High, From Under the Cork Tree, Take This to Your Grave, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, Evening Out with Your Girlfriend, Believers Never Die (volume one and two). Give me all of it! I love it! The different eras are the best.

Although... if you want to include the remix album of America Beauty American Psycho (Make America Psycho Again), I guess that would be my least favorite. I'm not a remix guy. The live albums could also be included in that, I guess--I would rather listen to the studio version almost always, as opposed to the live version.

As far as favorite...

Right now, it's So Much (for) Stardust! However, that's probably because it's the most recent album. It is truly So Fucking Good, too, though. So. Y'know. Maybe it'll stay my favorite, maybe it won't 🤷🏻‍♂️

My best anecdote about So Much (for) Stardust is how I was listening to it in the car once while picking up my Mom, and she said, "This sounds like a movie!" Which, based on Patrick's scoring ability and how they said they wanted it to sound like a movie in a few interviews, made me really happy. They definitely accomplished what they set out to. They made something so incredible.

Thank you for asking!

i actually think the make america psycho again remix works very well because the stripped back instrumental doesnt compete with patricks voice as much. anyway thats enough of being pedantic for today lmaooo
