How does "Note that, since the character's name refers to nuclear fallout (in accordance to the comic book's theme), it is H y written as Fallout Boy." have any relevance to the band Fall Out Boy's biography? The fact is, the band spells it's name with 3 seperate words, not 2 words. That hlittle exerpt is a grammar lesson, not anything about the band. I moved it.
"Fall Out Boy has a good-sized fanbase, and may have some staying power." What does good-sized mean? And what's the unreferenced speculation doing here on wikipedia? 207.172.155.74 00:47, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

That needs to be only a listing of albums, singles, etc.. (in keeping with the other wiki band pages) and the indivual info of each work needs to be a separate article.-- Esprit15d 16:23, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

From an with Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons:
Crave Online: What do you think of the band Fall Out Boy?
Matt Groening: What an honor. Fall Out Boy the rock band named itself after the sidekick of Radioactive Man played by Millhouse. I hope they don't have too many regrets.

They were never indie, I don't care if take this to your grave was the #17 US Top Indie Album, it does not, in any way, fit in with the indie genre. can we please get rid of this? I mean honestly.
They were on an indie record label and unknown for a long time before they moved over to Island...
I am mistaken. There is no vandalism on this page, and Fallout boy is 100% garbage. I am pretty sure the line "Petey and Patrick get it on!!!!!!" has not replaced any useful info.

People need to learn what emo really is. It's not fringes, tight jeans and suicide. It's not Fall Out Boy, it's not Panic! At The Disco, it's not even My Chemical Romance. It's Rites Of Spring. It's Moss Icon. It's Saves The Day. It's Jawbreaker. It can't be applied to a person, a person is not a genre.
I hope one day people understand this, especially stupid fucking magazines.
I agree - I think emo should be removed as a term to describe Fall Out Boy. This problem of labeling non-emo bands as emo stems from the fact that the emo (slang) article has not been written effectively. The actual Emo article is quite inciteful as to what emo is.
Coldcroc 21:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree. People have no idea what emo is. Just because the bassist commited suicide does not make a band emo. It's a sad world when we have to point our fingers and laugh at people who are really depressed/suicidal.
no i think that emo should stay all emo really is just like the lyric such as "you look so good in blue" and the way you can read in to them so in a way they are emo i mean look at sugar were going down that song is deep and i mean deep no matter what you write there emo and you say it like it's a bad thing.
with all due respect, fall out boy is emo. of course, they're not hardcore punk in any way, so "emotionally charged hardcore punk" doesn't really fit them, but that was old emo. unfortunately, emo's changed to fit bands like MCR and TBS etc. It's not the bassist that makes the band emo, but instead, the lyrics. the lyrics are often kinda sad...and if a bassist is really the lyric writer, and writes emo lyrics, and the band plays them, it unfortunately, makes the band an emo band. however, that doesn't mean the band members are emo, but instead their music is simply emo. Itachi1452 01:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Sure, at shows, Pete screams and sings 2 notes, but hes not a back up. i can tell you that right now.
I have something to tell you, HE IS A BACK-UP VOCALIST. It's him screaming in the background on the recorded tracks too, that makes him a back-up vocalist.
on the simple plan page somebody thought of pop punk revival to describe bands like simplebrandon southwell likes britney spears !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!plan and good charlotte. it kept from the stupid articles since its there own genre... we need something like nu-emo or emo revival or something to do with these kinds of bands-- 67.66.95.196 04:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it would be wise to put a temporary block on the page. The vandals from that rediculous livejournal community are going to keep coming here. Spuddy 17 20:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Seriously, Fall Out Boy is whiny and poppy like all those other emo bands (sorry if my description sounds POV, I can't stand this band or emo quite frankly). Protozoic Waste
Alright, if you think FOB is emo, your are probably 15, and constantly exclaim to your bro friends that "emos cut themselves and i eat them for breakfast on my dirtbike" GTFO right now, leave wikipedia and never come back, you have no idea what emo is. I would say FOB is simple pop-rock.
Your intelligence is baffeling, so people who think Fall Out Boy is Emo, are automatically 15? When the artcle on Fall Out Boy clearly states in their genre is emo.
Yeah they're stupid emo-kids...That wentz guy even tried to kill himself....ha ha ha what an emosexual.
Now I don't want to cause any more fights, but I have to disagree with Fall Out Boy being emo. That is because I disagree with emo even being a musical genre. That's just my POV. But if you take a look at the emo article, one of the first bands classified as emo has a memeber saying that emo isn't a genre. I won't change anything, but think about this. Godlord2 04:06, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I personally do not see how the hell Dance, Dance would fit into emotive-post hardcore punk. No offense but I personally just find that to be a load of crap, their music is not intense, depressing or gloomy enough to be emo as in the genres it's mainly associated with (post-hardcore, metalcore, indie, screamo). Speaking on a level of the instruments (since everyone seems to class bands by LYRICS now), even the guitar and bass compositions sound nothing like contemporary post-hardcore bands like MCR.
Fall Out Boy don't classify themselves as Emo. That's end of story. When people start classing each other it gets nowhere. They acknowledge incorporating themes of emo, this is from their site:
Fall Out Boy don't sing about death and drugs and being dumped like The Used or My Chemical Romance, therefore they're not Emo. Yes songs like XO can sound emo because of the way they're sung. But that doesn't make the band emo. I'm removing the categorisation because they aren't pop enough for pop-punk (See Motion City Soundtrack) and they aren't Emo. They're probably not quite Rock or at least not in the strict sense I'm classifying them pop-rock. You want to debate it, that's fine, but they're not pop-punk or emo.
I think this discussion needs cleaning up - a lot of it's just questions.
And for name... apparently they played a few gigs without any real name and they asked the crowd for a name and someone up the back yelled "Fall Out Boy!", they figure it was from Fallout Boy from the Simpsons, but they dont know that for a fact. I've never heard that they werent aware of Fallout Boy... someone please verify?
ok- the music isnt emo, but the lyrics can be verrrrrrrry emo. when you listen to a CD, do you listen to the song, or the words?

I'm sorry, but you could find pop songs with emo lyrics or songs from any genre for that matter. If we classified music by lyrics it'd be broken up into SEX and NOT SEX, last i checked those were not genres. I mean, you've got rap songs and rock songs about the same topic. And besides, you can't understand Patrick Stump half the time anyway, or a number of other artists so to say we listen to music for the lyrics is ridiculous.
thank you to who ever wrote the whole you don't have to cut your self to be emo i guess i'm not the only one that is subject to stuff like that i mean you really don't have to emo is more of a kind of music that people like. and yes fall out boy is emo so to all of you that say they aren't i tell you to go shove it!
i dont understand this whole emo debate, you cant say because their songs deal with personal issues and have emotion that their emo, then dozens of bands would be labeled emo. Hell, if that was the case then Pink Floyd and Roger Waters is emo because their songs and lyrics talk about emotional and personal issues. This debate is stupid, FOB is not emo, this is obvious if you here there new album 24.241.227.184 03:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
there website says there not emo. someone who can get that tag or whatever that adds them to the list off the article.-- 67.66.95.196 03:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes they are emo i don't know who you think you if they were any more emo they might as well scream it at the top of there lungs there music tells a story so yes they are emo i know twenty people of the top of head that would kill you for saying there not emo they are you just have to much pride to say they are so deal with it you emo hater!**
Does anyone know if the intials for the album "From Under The Cork Tree" are 'fuct' by chance or if it was planned that way?
Uprising Records released "Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girl" on February 23, 2003 as an EP. Uprising then released a repressed version of the album on May 17, 2005 entitled "Evening Out With Your Girlfriend." The tracks were remastered, however the EP title still remains.
Im not going to be a douche but it's not an EP. an EP has between 4-7 songs on it, at 8 songs an album traditionally becomes an LP. the reasoning for this is in the vinyl format(where LP and EP come from)an ep (7") cannot hold as much music. at 30 minutes the thing is an LP. check your facts before following what one site says. by the standards set in this article any album released before the late 80's(the advent of cd's) is an ep, including such titles as the Damaged(Black Flag) and Ramones (ramones) just to name a few. im changing it back to the album listing because it falls in the same running tim as an LP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.179.227.58 ( talk • contribs)
Kerrang magazine and on the fall out boy website said that infinity on high is FOB's 3rd album so technically EOWYG cannot be a LP Nemesis90 22:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Have you heard evening out with your girlfriend? It sucks hardcore. I don't think they want to advertize it as an album. And besides, technically it is an LP, it's got more than 7 songs. Them saying it's not is actually not a matter of technicality, just opinion. I mean, you can call a cow a horse but it's not going to win any races.

"Carpal Tunnel of Love" is the first single off the record; not a "leaked song". The band actually had it put up.

Uh... no. The only place it was released was on iTunes and that only just charted inside the hot 100. You're right on the band putting it up themselves though, and the album version is different (more polished, louder guitars, extended intro)
As for some of these songs...

Looks like some n00b made a page for XO, with a crappy gif file made from paint as the cover. Has this even been released as a single. I assume that since A Little Less.. Single doesn't come out until July 6th, it's safe to say that they haven't picked a new single yet. AFD? -- Diehard2k5 18:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Not to rant or anything, but isn't Fall Out Boy "Pop-punk", not "Alternative Rock"? Google has 140,000 more results for the former, the band is commonly tagged as "Pop-punk" on Last.fm (Alt Rock is a much less-used tag for them), and the comparing examples of the two genres show much more mor commonality with pop-punk.
yup. they can be decribed as a pop punk band, but they are not defined by it. Xsxex 06:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't go dumping FOB on Alternative Rock. A Perfect Circle is Alternative Rock, not FallOut Boy. "Pop-Punk"/"Emo" is a good enough genre. "Pop-Punk" because that's what it sounds like, and "Emo" because that's what the lyrics sound like. -- Heiki Storm 10:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
To even call Fall Out Boy pop punk is an absolute disgrace. fallout boy are emo. to relate them in any way to any type of punk is wrong. Get over it.
Emo = Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas Is The Reason, Rites Of Spring, etc.
Pop punk = Descendents/ALL, NOFX, Lagwagon, etc.
Alternative rock = Sonic Youth, The Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.
Fall Out Boy doesn't sound like any of these bands. They are a pop band. Change it already.-- momo 23:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Well obviously if they kept changing it they must being trying to prove a point, in which case I would ask them why and not just revert it and report them as a vandal.
By the way, NOFX actually is a pop-punk band.-- momo 14:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
On youtube on an TL behind the scenes of dance dance, pete says ' we wanna put the funk back into emotion rock and roll' (Emo) so pate just called them Emo.
According to me they don't have a particular genre to fit in.Their musical style is a mix of pop-punk,emo and alternative rock.And in the genre section I wrote that (as it was a month ago).
Why dont we just label it as they do and call it "softxcore?" Then we can move on to the much more exciting topic of which bands are also softxcore and which bands arent or if hair styles should be required in the definition Oroneko 13:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Isn't it just easier to list genres the band is commonly known as? To most people I know, Fall Out Boy's alternative, pop-punk, emo, and just plain rock. Okay, just a suggestion. -- P!@tD Girly! 03:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't we mention that Fall out boy use drop-d more than most emo/pop punk bands, which makes them unique. DavidJJJ 09:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I've suggested that all of the individual articles for members get merged into this article, per WP:N and other bands. It's either merge them into here, or delete, in my opinion. Anyone for this? HawkerTyphoon 23:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Removed "Producers of The Simpsons were afraid they would get sued because they thought the band had the name first. This is false, seeing as The Simpsons have been around for about 20 years, while the band has only been around for about 4 years, tops." because no citation or evidence was provided.

what difference does it make weather fall out boy are emo or not and why do people moan about emo's everyone has their own style weather its emo mosher or goth nobody has a right to critisize anybody because no one is perfect everyone is entitled to their own opinion!!
Well I just fixed all the content back to the way it used to be....also someone replaced the name Fall Out Boy with 'Emo F***ers' i fixed that aswell. We need to really protect this page, I'm not a big fall out boy fan, i just felt bad for their page getting vandalised so much...
I agree with you. This page really does get hit hard. :/

Fall Out Boy's appearance on the soundrack is not such a huge deal that it deserves a whole paragraph about it here. Perhaps creating another section dedicated to songs they have contributed to like projects would be more appropriate. Spuddy 17 03:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

the website is a great brazilian channel and the best in the country about the band, and must be recognized.
if possible, of course.

Does anyone know if the intials for the album "From Under The Cork Tree" are 'fuct' by chance or if it was planned that way?
Uprising Records released "Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girl" on February 23, 2003 as an EP. Uprising then released a repressed version of the album on May 17, 2005 entitled "Evening Out With Your Girlfriend." The tracks were remastered, however the EP title still remains.
Im not going to be a douche but it's not an EP. an EP has between 4-7 songs on it, at 8 songs an album traditionally becomes an LP. the reasoning for this is in the vinyl format(where LP and EP come from)an ep (7") cannot hold as much music. at 30 minutes the thing is an LP. check your facts before following what one site says. by the standards set in this article any album released before the late 80's(the advent of cd's) is an ep, including such titles as the Damaged(Black Flag) and Ramones (ramones) just to name a few. im changing it back to the album listing because it falls in the same running tim as an LP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.179.227.58 ( talk • contribs)
Kerrang magazine and on the fall out boy website said that infinity on high is FOB's 3rd album so technically EOWYG cannot be a LP Nemesis90 22:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Have you heard evening out with your girlfriend? It sucks hardcore. I don't think they want to advertize it as an album. And besides, technically it is an LP, it's got more than 7 songs. Them saying it's not is actually not a matter of technicality, just opinion. I mean, you can call a cow a horse but it's not going to win any races.

I removed the line about having lots of dialouge in their music videos... only their most recent one has any spoken lines in it. - Maverick 09:05, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Can someone find a good picture of all four of them, instead of the cover of Take This To Your Grave? You can't really see any of them very well. Free source would be nice, too. — Akrabbim 02:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
how about the picture of from there my space http://myspace-405.vo.llnwd.net/01441/50/49/1441029405_m.jpg
Take this to your grave has two articles for it, the proper version which there is a link to off the fall out boy page and another that can be found when searching without proper captilisation. The other version should be deleted. This is the proper version - Take This to Your Grave Other Version - Take this to your grave
I heard that they were a screamo band that decided to do a pop record as a joke and then it got really popular. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Proeliator Sancti ( talk • contribs) .

I have removed the previous information as there is absolutely no source information whatsoever. I left some brief information on the page, but it also is unconfirmed. This kind of detail is also unecessary on this page, even if it is true. — Akrabbim talk 20:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
"Carpal Tunnel of Love" is the first single off the record; not a "leaked song". The band actually had it put up.

Uh... no. The only place it was released was on iTunes and that only just charted inside the hot 100. You're right on the band putting it up themselves though, and the album version is different (more polished, louder guitars, extended intro)
As for some of these songs...

Looks like some n00b made a page for XO, with a crappy gif file made from paint as the cover. Has this even been released as a single. I assume that since A Little Less.. Single doesn't come out until July 6th, it's safe to say that they haven't picked a new single yet. AFD? -- Diehard2k5 18:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed some bands and/or members of said bands have the first song they ever wrote on their profiles. Any chance we could do that for this band, as well?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.33.22.4 ( talk • contribs) .
Not to rant or anything, but isn't Fall Out Boy "Pop-punk", not "Alternative Rock"? Google has 140,000 more results for the former, the band is commonly tagged as "Pop-punk" on Last.fm (Alt Rock is a much less-used tag for them), and the comparing examples of the two genres show much more mor commonality with pop-punk.
yup. they can be decribed as a pop punk band, but they are not defined by it. Xsxex 06:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I edited it Geege 13:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC) What The fuck. Pop Punk is Screeching Weasel, not this bullshit.-- 71.236.239.19 01:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Don't go dumping FOB on Alternative Rock. A Perfect Circle is Alternative Rock, not FallOut Boy. "Pop-Punk"/"Emo" is a good enough genre. "Pop-Punk" because that's what it sounds like, and "Emo" because that's what the lyrics sound like. -- Heiki Storm 10:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
To even call Fall Out Boy pop punk is an absolute disgrace. fallout boy are emo. to relate them in any way to any type of punk is wrong. Get over it.
Emo = Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas Is The Reason, Rites Of Spring, etc.
Pop punk = Descendents/ALL, NOFX, Lagwagon, etc.
Alternative rock = Sonic Youth, The Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.
Fall Out Boy doesn't sound like any of these bands. They are a pop band. Change it already.-- momo 23:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Well obviously if they kept changing it they must being trying to prove a point, in which case I would ask them why and not just revert it and report them as a vandal.
By the way, NOFX actually is a pop-punk band.-- momo 14:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
On youtube on an TL behind the scenes of dance dance, pete says ' we wanna put the funk back into emotion rock and roll' (Emo) so pate just called them Emo.
According to me they don't have a particular genre to fit in.Their musical style is a mix of pop-punk,emo and alternative rock.And in the genre section I wrote that (as it was a month ago).
Why dont we just label it as they do and call it "softxcore?" Then we can move on to the much more exciting topic of which bands are also softxcore and which bands arent or if hair styles should be required in the definition Oroneko 13:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Isn't it just easier to list genres the band is commonly known as? To most people I know, Fall Out Boy's alternative, pop-punk, emo, and just plain rock. Okay, just a suggestion. -- P!@tD Girly! 03:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't we mention that Fall out boy use drop-d more than most emo/pop punk bands, which makes them unique. DavidJJJ 09:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I've suggested that all of the individual articles for members get merged into this article, per WP:N and other bands. It's either merge them into here, or delete, in my opinion. Anyone for this? HawkerTyphoon 23:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Removed "Producers of The Simpsons were afraid they would get sued because they thought the band had the name first. This is false, seeing as The Simpsons have been around for about 20 years, while the band has only been around for about 4 years, tops." because no citation or evidence was provided. It is purely speculation. 198.22.121.110 23:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Is the emo link supposed to go to the homosexuality page? -- Shanedidona 12:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Is that a trick question? Emo, Homosexuality, they're totally different things.. JustinFromAus 09:30, 9 November 2006 (UTC) And Fall Out Boy is neither. 70.23.148.224 14:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
The history pages show this page has had a lot of content compared to its current state. I can't see why all of it was removed. Pests 03:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
what difference does it make weather fall out boy are emo or not and why do people moan about emo's everyone has their own style weather its emo mosher or goth nobody has a right to critisize anybody because no one is perfect everyone is entitled to their own opinion!!
Well I just fixed all the content back to the way it used to be....also someone replaced the name Fall Out Boy with 'Emo F***ers' i fixed that aswell. We need to really protect this page, I'm not a big fall out boy fan, i just felt bad for their page getting vandalised so much...
I agree with you. This page really does get hit hard. :/
LOL rROFL
Fall Out Boy's appearance on the soundrack is not such a huge deal that it deserves a whole paragraph about it here. Perhaps creating another section dedicated to songs they have contributed to like projects would be more appropriate. Spuddy 17 03:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
i believe that www.falloutboyrock.com.br website must be on the list here presented.
the website is a great brazilian channel and the best in the country about the band, and must be recognized.
if possible, of course.
Will someone please fix the external links... The Crazewire external link should point to http://www.crazewire.com/features/20050412476.php, not http://features/20050412476.php -- Mkoko483 23:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
They released a new single (at least on iTunes) called Carpal Tunnel of Love. Anyone want to start that article? -- Shorty114 04:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
