Its a well-known fact that the MTV generation has an collective IQ equivalent to a cocker spaniol. That would explain the popularity of quite possibly the worst band I've ever heard: Fall Out Boy. The Fall Out Boy phenomenon is spreading like herpes among teenagers all over America. Their whiny, semi-angst filled lyrics seem to hit nerve among the ever-increasing number of pussy emo kids in country. Not only are the songs bad, the music videos are even worse. The "Sugar We're Going Down" video features this whiny Antler-Boy who is trying to date this girl despite his deformities--at least I think thats whats going on. Not only can the average rock/rap loving American NOT understand the lyrics to every Fall Out Boy song, we'd have to be on crack to understand their videos too.
Videos that are metaphors for teen angst + cryptic lyrics = SUCK
Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of bands that make use of uncreative lyrics and cliche sayings. Also, there are plenty more bands that have lead singers who sound like they have their mouths stuffed with marbles. But lets not talk about Nirvana, who still rocked despite all these things. Every time I hear "Sugar We're Going Down" I want to cram a spoon up my ass just so I can focus on a different sort of pain. In addition, how do you think I felt when I played Madden 2006 for the first time and heard "Dance, Dance" as I prepare to conquer the gridiron. Nothing pumps a man up for a good ole game of football like hearing Fall Out Boy, right?
I urge all of you to put on your finest emo-busting gear and take these hippies out, so we may all rest in piece. I wish I had the time and skill to come up with something like this too: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4435593179243241083&q=fall+out+boy
