Today I learned that the people I follow are SUPER into Fall Out Boy.

I feel like you can tell the relative age of your followers by which ones make the Fall Out Boy posts. 

lol I went to see them when I was like… 19? And honestly? They’re fucking awesome in concert, so if they go on tour again you can bet I’ll be there. I’m 25 now. :|

I hear they’re supposed to be playing a bunch of cities near here, so it sounds like there’s a good chance you’ll be able to see them again (I knows what it feels like to wait years and years for your favorite band to go on tour again T_T). 

I just remember bands like FOB and MCR coming out when I was a senior in high school and it seemed like all of the underclassmen loved the shit out of them and I just didn’t get it. I think that was around the time I started becoming an old fogey and not really paying attention to what was currently happening musically, so they sort of feel like they’re “after my time” in a weird way :p 

I went to a P!ATD concert when I was 22, and as awesome as the show was, I felt SO WEIRD and old and out of place there aaaaugh I can’t imagine seeing them or FOB at my age.

The funny thing is, I would not have deigned to listen to Fall Out Boy or Panic when I was 22. (Though I couldn’t technically listen to Panic until I was 23?) I was way too cool for that shit (in theory). And also spending all of my time listening to drum-n-bass. It wasn’t until my friend sucked me into bandom via MCR when I was 26 that I started listening to either of them. 

Having been to concerts for both of them at about that age, Panic’s was the worst, as far as teenage girls screaming out your eardrums and parents there with tiny children goes. The FOB show was just a normal stadium show. And you know, now I’m 30 and have absolutely no shame, so you better believe I’m going to be all over that. (And my boyfriend is going to make fun of me the WHOLE TIME, so you’re not alone, internet.)

I was really big into FOB and Panic! when I was in HS and right afterwards. FOB got big during my Junior and Senior year, and Panic! got big during my Senior year. So it will be nice to relive the good memories that I have from HS, I might even get to see them live. I did get to see All American Rejects in 06, so if I see FOB, Panic!, Linkin Park, and Dashboard Confessionals I will have seen all the music I listened to in HS.
