** Um.....that was me, the OP. I posted that....

*** I'll come up with a response when you two stop doing the ad hominem...ah,screw it. No matter what you say, FOB isn't emo. Emo is crying because your girlfriend left or some tepid shit like that. If actually looked at their lyrics instead of [[CriticalResearchFailure failing at research/not giving a damn]] you'd notice that almost none of their songs are like that. Yes, they always have "the one emo song", but that's ''not'' what they are about. FOB owes their success to ''being a good band'', except for their last album, which was just [[SoBadItsHorrible bad]]. Oh, and they're not whiny and have a lot of male fans such as myself. And you can believe whatever crap your mind wants to believe, because I'm done arguing with idiots whose flimsy debates are so easy to counter.

** Did I just get called butthurt by someone who reacted like that? Unless I'm [[{{Dogma}} God]] [[IsntItIronic or]] [[AlanisMorissette something]], there's a [[{{Irony}} word]] for that. And who the hell is this MasterInferno guy and why do you share half of my handle?! People will think I have a SockPuppet, FFS! However, I do agree with what [=MI=] said; you play whiny pop punk for a fanbase comprised mainly of training bras, you're emo as far as this century is concerned. And if you're emo, the only reason your band gained any recognition is because you were shilled by corporations. I'll bend and say "Thnks fr th Mmrs" was a hell of an EarWorm, but that's it. Fall Out Boy owe their success to ludicrous overplay and pandering to an irrelevant audience.

Note, I'm a different [[KitsuneInferno Inferno]] that that Master Inferno guy who flipped your whiny retort on you. If that was my SockPuppet, I'd do a more creative job.

*** Ha ha, Wow.The butthurt Metal Fanboys came out just like I predicted. Sorry, honey, I don't care about you opinion. FOB is still one of my favorite bands, and you just ''proved what I said''. You say I have questionable taste (which is a purely subjective thing) in Music because I like one band, despite the fact that I listen to far more than just them. The Irony is amazing. And FOB didn't do it for the money, you stupid metal-fucker, they do it because they like playing music. They are far better than the crap that gets shoved out of the corporate asshole today, because they actually give a damn about making good music. And they're not emo, which [[CriticalResearchFailure would be obvious to anyone who actually gave a damn and did some research.]]

** I've experience this as well. Let someone know yo

** Don't worry. It's not your [[YourMilageMayVary questionable taste]] in music we're judging you on. [[{{Troll}} It's your knee-jerk reaction]]. Also, consider the fact that members of Fall Out Boy used to be in metal bands before they started playing alternative/emo. [[MoneyDearBoy Only for the money and fame]].

*It really bugs me that people judge me just because I listen to a band, I only like music from that Genre. Seriously, just because I FallOutBoy is one of my favorite bands, doesn't mean that I only listen to the crap that the mainstream pushes out. (Now I can't wait for some stuck-up-his-ass Metal[[strike:fucker]]head to proclaim that I have no taste in music, [[TakeThat even though his choice of music isn't exactly that good either.]]

*** See that's the problem. Nobody know the genres. All you can go with is your own experience. Nobody is saying thet metal(loose definition) isn't music, just that you may not be a snob just because you dislike it you may be trying to call another person out for being a metal snob. Like if you say that people who listen to classical music only do it because they want to seem educated. Metal as you define it probably has a melody and recognizable lyrics and can thus be compared to pop, or rock etc.

** Maybe bacuse heavy metal(or whatever you wanna call it),to my ears at least, have no melodi, no singing,no rhytm you can't hear what the singer is screaming so you can't really hear any lyrics. It seems to be just a screaming guy standing around with a lot of people who can't play instruments. Now this may very well be wrong and you have to have an ear for it to be able to recognize the music in it. I think in reference to any other music it can be snobs, but in reference to this it can basically be trying to call the fans out in an "emperors new clothes" way because of the "oh, I'm so edgy "image we feel they're trying to project.

**I do buy music. I still buy vinyls, in fact. What you're complaining about is not the only part of the music industry. If it pisses you off so much, find somewhere where you can get underground stuff you can appreciate, or find some people who really appreciate music and get their suggestions. There's plenty of bands out there that do everything themselves and play it for the expression, it's just a matter of finding them.
