Bad opinions • Page 323

I love tell that mick but that was def the song I had in mind when I said reprehensible lyrics

 

I feel like there has been a HUGE shift in opinion on their lyrics. They used to get praised pretty highly back in the day.

 

Because people grew up. Their lyrics are meant for fourteen year olds. It would make sense that as people got older, they liked their lyrics less

 

i think their lyrics were always praised only within the "scene" or whatever you'd like to call it

 

Seeing these FOB opinions is making me realize that I'm actually going to grow out of them one day. I genuinely never thought I would haha.

 

Speaking of FOB, their usage of Cohen's Hallelujah in Hum Hallelujah is more offensive than all the lyrics on TTTYG combined.

 

I still like fob over a decade later but I don't have that same reverence I did when I was younger. I no longer think they're edgy geniuses for having violent lyrics set to poppy fun beats but I still enjoy some albums and songs and follow their career. Except that Ghostbusters song I did not follow that path.

 

i still listen to them all the time

 

This got enough likes for me to accept it as Chorus-approved canon

 

I like FOB more than I did 10 years ago.

 

I still listen to Fall Out Boy a lot. Too many great memories to not. Plus, I have all these Pete Wentz lyrics seared into my brain from high school, what else am I going to do with those but shamelessly sing them at the top of my lungs in my car while I'm driving with the windows down and the volume turned up regardless of who's in the car with me and no matter what the weather is like outside.

 

Folie holds up super well still too. My jam

 

I wonder if Pete Wentz would ever consider writing another book. Gray was pretty terrible in my opinion (absolutely no plot or character development), but I'd like to know if his writing has progressed a lot since then.

 

I wonder how many times fall out boy has been discussed xD

Still love folie a deux, and I listen to it every now and again

 

Still love Fall Out Boy, sans-AB/AP

The lyrics on TTTYG have never bothered me because they never came off as serious to me, even back then. It's petty break-up stuff. It's like "Before He Cheats" or "Goodbye Earl" to me. Catharsis through overblown, bitter lyrics. Now if someone actually acts like/says those things in real life, I'd be worried.

Similar to The Smiths. Do I want to die by someone's side when a bus hits me? No. Do I get some kind of catharsis from the core feeling under the exaggeration? Sure.

 

I really like AB/AP.

I'm also not really a FOB fan.

 

Haven't enjoyed anything of theirs since Infinity on High.

 

kindred is the 2nd best passion pit album, and is no where near as bad as people make it out to be.

 

I can't remember a single song off that alhum

 

it was very boring

 

It's easily the worst passion pit album. I wouldn't call it horrible, but not much reason to come back to it

 

Pretty sure there are only two Passion Pit records, I don't remember a third one

 

FOB peaked with Cork Tree for me but everything pre-hiatus was enjoyable. I tried with their last two but they make me feel nothing whatsoever. I completely understand that bands change and sometimes its a change that is out of my personal taste but it bums me out that they took things where they did. Hoping they get bored with the straight up pop and decide to do a more rock/pop rock/pop punk oriented record at some point in the near future.

 

Pretty much sums up how I feel.

 

I'd say there's like a 0% chance of that happening haha. They did that Pax Am EP and that was probably more than enough to satisfy that itch when they last had it.
