Fall Out Boy: “Nobody can decide why we suck.”
In less than a week, Fall Out Boy will release their sixth album, American Beauty/American 
Psycho, the band’s second album since dwindling internal relationships and a poor reaction to 2008’s Folie à Deux, helped put the band on hiatus.
Now back on the road after experiencing a 2013 renaissance with Save Rock and Roll (thanks in a big way to “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark {Light Em Up}”), Fall Out Boy is charting again with the track “Centuries” and have found artistic happiness.
“We aren’t the last rock band,” said frontman Patrick Stump in an interview with Rolling Stone. “But we’re the last rock band that doesn’t think that pop is a four-letter word.”
While Stump sounds confident about what he believes Fall Out Boy is, he does note that haters continue to toss jabs at his band, mainly because they can’t figure out what it is.
“We’ve been saddled with several disparaging genre things,” continued Stump. “ ’Oh, they’re this fucking pop-punk band,’ or ‘They’re this fucking emo band – these guys suck,’ or ‘They’re this fucking stadium-rock band – these guys suck.’ Nobody can decide why we suck – to me, that means we’re doing the right thing.”
