Tired of people name-dropping rock genres and not having a clue what they're talking about? We sure are, so we put together the first in an ongoing series of edumacational, one-minute videos that'll drop a knowledge bomb on all unsuspecting ignoramuses. The first out of the gate is the much-maligned Emo, a genre that arguably jumped the shark almost a decade ago, yet continues to lurch onward like a zombie. You know, a zombie that whines like a bitch and wears its little sister's pants.

Anyone notice the biggest problem with "genna"'s comment? Pete Wentz doesn't play guitar. Also, genna's spelling... go /cut. Seriously.

Ok people. No offense, but im guessing you dont realizew how stupid some of you sound when your obsessing over celebrities. Seriously, Pete Wentz is never going to marry you, or have your babies, or anything like that. The most he'll do is shake your hand or give you a hug, and thats IF you get the chance to meet him. So chill, its annoying to alot of people, and im sure he would find it annoying as well.
Also, ill agree with you guys that yes, pete IS talented at the GUITAR -- not spelled with a k. And also, stereotypes do suck.
thisxisntxhighschoolat 4-16-2008
Matt, he does play guitar. He also does vocals, piano, and keyboard on occasion.
Im not one of those 'fake' fall out boy fans that have only liked them since that 'sugar we're going down' has came out. Ive been a fan since Take This To Your Grave, but decided when I got the cd, that I would listen to their older stuff.
Im going to be honest, fall out boys changed a good bit. They dont really even sound the same to me anymore, and in MY opinion, i thinks is a shame when bands get fake fans who only think that they are hot and pretend to 'like' the music, simply because they think the band members look good.
Its ruining great music.

Oh, get over your emo selves. MCR=emo. Pete Wentz=emo. Skinny jeans and black eyeliner=emo. Fasion mullets=really fucking ugly.
Based off of the stereotypes of these days, Pete Wentz is, in fact, very emo.
And you all are like, "OMG you guys are SO immature for using stereotypes."
You fools are immature for not accepting yourselves. You're all emo!

It may already have been said, but...
It's EMOTIVE hardcore. Not emotional.
They're different.

Wow. Are all the comments either about how hot pete wentz is, or how this is a stupid sterotype? It's a joke, guys. A JOKE.

in case u dont all ready know just because a person started liking Fall Out Boy when From Under The Cork Tree came out doesnt mean that we are fake fans! i was nine when it came out and 7 when Take This To Your Grave came out. until you are like 10 you r way out of touch with the music world. and with the looks thing i loved fall out boy wayyy before i formed my pete wentz obsession. most people my age are fake but i own every album unlike the people i know who know 3 songs wtf only 3 unless ur in my head back off!
moeeat 6-30-2008
pete wentz... please i saw him live he's terrible
fall out boy is actually a talented band and he just ruins it.
and technically it's not considered emo, it's considered scene but since most of the obsessive girls on here are 10 years old they wouldn't know that, would they?
Bobsucksdickat 6-30-2008
lololol. mcr isnt emo.
but lol@ all the other stuff.
and LOL @ PETE WENTZ. hes a retard.
[[XxhardcorexX]]at 6-30-2008
Haha.Pete Wentz is goodlooking, yes.[and married to one of the most annoying people I don't know next to Miley Cyrus] Emo, no!
MTV has stolen yet another stereotype.
LAME.
