Fall Out Boy has (lyrics, pop, genre, beatles, effect)

Schizotypic · 04-12-2009, 01:00 PM

My girlfriend tells me that Fall Out Boy just announced on Tv that they don't make their music for other people to like, they just make what they like. Truth? What's everyone's opinion?

This reminds me, I was checking the amount of seeders on torrents to see whose CD's had the most;
The Killers - Day And Age: About 14000
Britney Spears - Circus: About 8000
Fall Out Boy - Folie A Deux: About 5000
Lil Wayne - The Weezy Effect 2: About 2500
The Beatles/Led Zeppelin top torrents: About 2000
About 30 or 40 artists I found on MusicBanter: Ranging from 100 to 1000
Some artists I couldn't even find, like Tarantula Hawk or Book Of Knots. Carina Round had like 3 seeders or something. =/

Is anyone else disappointed by this?
Why is it the same 30 bands that are played on the radio, the same songs, every day, even if their not that good, are the ones who get like 13000 people wanting that artist when I have a list of like 300 artists sitting in front of me, all of which that Ive gotten are much more of an musical experience, and people don't even bother to find them?

I wouldn't have thought Fall Out Boy would have deserved a thread about them.

I don't really care one way or another. All styles of music are just as prefabricated as the next. This wouldn't be any more or less believable if it came from Seth Putnam.

Sorry, I posted before I want to and had to add the second part in. Yeah, I don't really care because of Fall Out Boy, but more because of where the world's head is at. I feel like the radio stations play the same songs over and over to trick people into thinking there's only 30 songs in the world per month, because their obviously not looking elsewhere.

I don't Fall Out Boy intentionally makes bad music that people like. I just think that the people in Fall Out Boy are boring and therefore make boring music. It is kind of like how all pop lyrics are the same these days. It isn't just because of money. It is also because most people these days are boring.

oh yeah it's the radio stations diabolical plan to only play 30 songs so that they can brainwash everyone into buying the crappy pop they are broadcasting through repetition.

You're going to need this thread moved, one because it's not lounge material and two because fall out boy suck balls.

I think this should be in a different section of MB. I stay away from threads containing Fall Out Boy, thats why I hide in the community center most of the time.

Great reply.

Moved. Anything music specific should rarely be posted in the lounge and if you are unsure what genre for bands just put it in general. Unfortunately we don't have a 'turgid crap' section for this sort of music.

View Poll Results: Fall Out Boy most likely plays their music to...
Appeal to the masses of tennagers, making millions	22	47.83%
Because they love their music	2	4.35%
A combination of both, but mostly for money/fans	14	30.43%
A combination of both, but mostly for the music	8	17.39%
Voters: 46. You may not vote on this poll
