Yeah, I'll admit it too, Fall Out Boy is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Sometimes I like to eat Butter out of a giant tub and listen to Dance Dance on repeat.

Pete Wentz took that stupid careerbuilder.com commercial too far (the one with the guy who works in an office full of apes). That said, I really hope the next Panic! At The Disco video is fake directed by the Geico cavemen.

scott and company - maybe i'm only speaking for myself, but - please stop posting about fall out boy or any other shit band that makes annoying music for teenagers. you can play it off like you are using the post as an excuse to make fun of them, but its pretty transparent that the posts are actually an attempt to widen your readership so as to include people who actually like this stuff. granted, it's not the biggest deal in the world, but the more your site becomes geared toward cheap mass appeal, the less it actually posts about good music, and the less inclined readers interested in reading about good music will want to visit.

I'm not sure if this is a music vid or a commerical for chevy, nokia and tag body spray.

I guess if you are not in Fall Out Boy, you are a monkey. This video is disgusting.

That monkey commercial is awesome! They light cigars with money. What's not to like.

Dan, get off the cross.

I really like fallout boy and saying that the music is for teenagers is so stupid!!If you like it u like it!?!why should you like a band in secret? Their music is good and their own.Yes i bought "cork" because of dance,dance but i bought "infinity" because i want to see whats next and i like!!!!

it amazes me the rabid adulation this band seems to enjoy. whatever happened to real punk bands like fugazi, the circle jerks, black flag, or social distortion? gnr at their bloatest cheesiest excess were more punk than these foos

Knightfrogger, I think you missed dan's point. Nobody is saying you should like a band in secret - by all means, like what you like. The point was that stereogum's posting about certain cheesy adolescent-baiting bands (like falloutboy) comes off as a disingenuously populist attempt to cast a wider net, as the expense of actual musical 'goodness'. Ofcourse, it's the site's choice whether or not they want to go in that direction.

By the way, what's wrong with admitting that you have a teenage-level taste in music. That's says no more about you than you eye-offending decision to use nine exclamation marks over the course of three sentences.

OK, I'm gonna go listen to some panic! at the disco, surf myspace, and type on instant messenger using a lot of unnecessary abbreviations. Rock on.

My issue with fall out boy and all those other bands that are associated with it is that yes, the music SOUNDS good, catchy.. etc but as music it sucks, not original and it not real, Pete Wentz has his hand in so much shit he could quit fall out boy right now and retire rich. Its just a matter of respect. of which i have none for them.

Is it so wrong so be prejudiced against all pop-punk-emo hybrids? The bastardization of Pinkerton has gone too far.

I can't wait to tell all of my teenage friends that this obscure indie music blog that I frequent just posted the new Fall Out Boy video. I trust that stereogum has increased their server capacity to handle the impending spike in bandwith.

Honestly, I don't mind the lead singer of this band, he needs to lose some pounds cause he can't handle singing live, but he is a good aspect. However, this video is ridiculously dumb and once again an excuse for Wentz to take the limelight. This band could be good if they didn't have horrible public appearances cause it makes them seem really obsurd. Once again, to the members of Fall Out Boy, get out of the GOD DAMN band with that loser who loves himself.

Calm down. It's a fun video that paid for itself through product placement. Song is catchy. Get over yourselves.

every used car salesman in America tried the monkeys at least once. CareerBuilder did and now FOB. Let's hear it for originality. FOB sucks 4-EVER!

I have to say I've never given FOB a good listen to - now I remember why. I couldn't even get through the video and why bother - the song is complete and utter shit - but I imagine at some point they probably break into dance like their boy band predessors.

Like others, I am suprised to see them as topic of conversation on stereogum.

You have to wonder whether or not it was planned to have the youtube still frame be that phone. Sure looks like a phone commercial when you see just that. That was some ham-fisted product placement. These things can be done in clever ways, hell you don't even notice most of the time in rap videos, but it is everywhere in those things. They could have taken just a little time to figure out some clever ways to do that stuff. Like the closeup of the body spray, completely unnecessary. If he would have held it a certain way, it would have still been realized that "oooh, he uses TAG, I must use TAG as well so my sidekick can be hacked too." Whatever...it's fall out boy.

i don't understand any of this....you all need to get a life...fall out boy is going down in history and we all know it...some people jus find fault in what they can't have....you are all jealous....FOB is the greatest band ever...and some of you are very bias towards this situation..if you were there back when this band first began and you knew the story you would fall in love with these kidds...like me....listen to some of there older music...and understand that they started out like everyone else....they grew up listening to all the good stuff like some of us...seriously though...they it made because of pure talent..and i feel bad for those of you who are to caught up in jealousy that you cant enjoy great music
