Fall Out Boy<\/b>\u00a0is an American\u00a0rock<\/a>\u00a0band formed in\u00a0Wilmette, Illinois<\/a>, a suburb of\u00a0Chicago<\/a>, in 2001. The band consists of vocalist\/guitarist\u00a0Patrick Stump<\/a>, bassist\u00a0Pete Wentz<\/a>, guitarist\u00a0Joe Trohman<\/a>, and drummer\u00a0Andy Hurley<\/a>. The band originated from Chicago’s\u00a0hardcore punk<\/a>\u00a0scene, with which Wentz was heavily involved. The group was formed by Wentz and Trohman as a\u00a0pop punk<\/a>\u00a0side project of their respective hardcore bands, and Stump joined shortly thereafter. The group went through a succession of drummers before landing Hurley and recording their debut album,\u00a0Take This to Your Grave<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(2003), which became an underground success and helped the band gain a dedicated fanbase through heavy touring, as well as some moderate commercial success.<\/p>\n

With Wentz as the band’s lyricist and Stump as the primary composer, the band’s 2005 major-label breakthrough,\u00a0From Under the Cork Tree<\/a><\/i>, produced two hit singles, “Sugar, We’re Goin Down<\/a>” and “Dance, Dance<\/a>,” and went\u00a0double platinum<\/a>, transforming the group into superstars and making Wentz a celebrity and tabloid fixture. Fall Out Boy received a\u00a0Best New Artist<\/a>\u00a0nomination at the\u00a02006 Grammy Awards<\/a>. Their 2007 follow-up,\u00a0Infinity on High<\/a><\/i>, landed at number one on the\u00a0Billboard<\/i>\u00a0200<\/a>with 260,000 first week sales. It produced two worldwide hit singles, “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race<\/a>” and “Thnks fr th Mmrs<\/a>.”\u00a0Folie \u00e0 Deux<\/a><\/i>, the band’s fourth album, created a mixed response from fans and commercially undersold expectations. Following the release of\u00a0Believers Never Die – Greatest Hits<\/a><\/i>, the band took a hiatus from 2009 to 2012 to “decompress,” exploring various side projects. They regrouped and recorded\u00a0Save Rock and Roll<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(2013), which gave the band their second career number one and produced the triple platinum top 20 single “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)<\/a>.” Their sixth studio album,\u00a0American Beauty\/American Psycho<\/a><\/i>(2015), released worldwide on\u00a0Island Records<\/a>, was preceded by the 2x Platinum top 10 hit “Centuries<\/a>.” The album peaked at No. 1, making it the group’s third No. 1 album.<\/p>\n

While Fall Out Boy’s music has been typically described as\u00a0pop punk<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0pop rock<\/a>, the band were generally seen in the mid-2000s at the forefront of the “emo pop<\/a>” explosion.[1]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Take This to Your Grave<\/i>\u00a0has often been cited as an influential blueprint for pop punk music in the 2000s.<\/p>\n
