#but idk sometimes it seems like they all think mcr is somehow the best band to have ever musiced and then they treat fob like garbage

[thekidsare-not-alright]

I think some mcr fans would rather die than acknowledge that the break up helped cement their legacy and popularity. everyone loves a martyr/what they can't get more of, yknow. it's a fact of life

#btw I love mcr so don't fucking even #but idk sometimes it seems like they all think mcr is somehow the best band to have ever musiced and then they treat fob like garbage #and it really makes me think about how fob is always the underdog in comparison #no matter what they do people hate em and it's weird #this band has never not been aware of it too #like look at fucking this ain't a scene #grenade jumper #I Slept With #these are just the ones I'm thinking of #anyways #mcr is a great band with great music and they absolutely have a solid legacy with or without this. but you cannot say that factors that hav #nothing to do with their talents - such as them breaking up for a while - don't contribute to their fame #we always appreciate the things we've lost more than the things we still have #and it's unfortunate to understand this but fall out boy intends to go for as long as they're having fun which means they might never #get some of what they're due from mainstream attention #or at least. the kindness they deserve #they are still in a very privileged position so yeah lmao they're millionaires but fob tumblr gets my point I think #we're all in these conversations ope #fall out boy #fob #I'm just rambling and sharing thoughts. this isn't meant to make a movement lmao it's not that serious!! it's not that serious #it was never that serious
