I don't believe any genre of music can be unilaterally dismissed (aside from like, white-power music or something).
Patrick Stump
Image
Self-deprecating or arrogant, it's all selfish. Hard as it is, life's better when you spend more time on the rest of the world

In reply to 'how do I flirt with people?': Just be yourself and not want anything out of anybody. Desire is the killer of all smoothness.

I always thought 'Stump' was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It's not the most exotic rock-star name.

I love playing our older songs along with newer ones but If all I have is my old stuff, I quit. Creating is more rewarding.

Stray thought for the day: Putting boundaries on how punk should sound/look is the least punk rock thing one can do. Be yourself=Very punk.

All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating. We connect on the things we are disappointed in. Some may argue that nothing in history gathers a crowd like complaining about Lady Gaga's meat dress.

I was going to record a solo album when I was 15 on a four-track. I started working on it, but then Fall Out Boy happened. The band was awesome and took me in a totally different direction. I don't regret it at all, but the band delayed the record I had been planning.

The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true.

I have always loved David Bowie. When he began to experiment with pop music in the 80's, I really thought there was a really fascinating reverence for it. A lot of people looked at pop music as just idiot music, or dance music, and with this he was giving it a lot of respect.

Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.

I look at albums like novels. If you write a really good scene or a really good moment, just because you wrote it, doesn't mean that it fits with the story that you're writing.

I don't mind if someone thinks I'm a sell out. I go to bed happy knowing I do what I do and I'm not doing anything for reasons of money, and if I were trying to pick up chicks, I'm doing a horrible job. And if I wanted to drive awesome cars, I'm doing a really bad job there too.

I very often think about doing things that I would want other artists to do. Like, if I'm a fan of whoever, I want to be treated a certain way. So I realized it came off almost elitist to ignore the whole world of Twitter and Facebook.

I used to work in a record store. I'm kind of a record nerd.
Patrick Stump

In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.

When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try to treat the world better than it treated you.

I'm really attracted to music that sort of toes that line between pop and avant-garde, that pushes the envelope of what you can get in a pop song.
