21 years ago, Fall Out Boy released 'Sugar, We're Going Down'

Still remember watching this music video on MTV before school

i still dont know what the fuck this means.

Absolute all time banger. White Excellence on full display.

As a black kid growing up at the time this was the first band I ever really liked

I played Warped Tour in 2004 in a metalcore band so these guys seemed like a corporate psyop to me at the time but I think it aged real well and I enjoy it ngl

Fall Out Boy wasn’t a good band. There I said it. Bunch of wailing and whining over faggy show tune style guitar riffs and weird Broadway vocal theatrics. Queer coded music

ZOOMERS KNOW NOTHING

I still think Fall Out Boy should do the Super Bowl.

Discovering this song on MTV in the morning getting ready for school made me a instant fan

“I’m just a notch in your bedpost but you’re just a line in a song” is one of my favorite lyrics ever and 💯 sounds like it was written by a vengeful Taylor Swift.

“IS THIS MORE THAN YOU BAR-GAINED FO-OOORRR?! AY DON’T MIND ME IM WATCH-ING YOU TWO FROM THE CLO-SET… WISH-ING TO BE THE FRIC-TION IN HIS JEANS!”

This reminds me to share the Ebaumsworld version which is absolutely hilarious

Don't get duped. This was overwhelmingly considered gay, twee bullshit that your most annoying coworker tried to talk you into listening to at the time. Nostalgia is a trap

Did anyone ever figure out how he was watching YouTube from the closet 21 years ago??

In hindsight that music video made a really poignant statement about how repression and self hatred often festers and becomes bigotry.

Great studio band but my God they are dreadful live

We used to sing this song with a deaf person's accent to point out just how bad it was.

I've never been able to make out the lyrics to this but my mind has no problem filling in the gaps with words never uttered except by toddlers and mystic enchanters

FALL OUT BOY MORE LIKE SUCK MY ASS

Wow, and it still sucks, thanks for reminding me

i don't want to think about this 😩

Omg, I feel old lol

It’s obvious from the reactions to this post whose girlfriends wanted to fuck Pete Wentz 20 years ago.

these dudes are a bunch of poser sellout losers who came from their local Chicago hardcore and punk scenes. Pete was in a pretty decent metalcore band prior. Their drummer played in Racetraiter. They all have roots in hardcore which is hilarious w how commercial they are. POSERS.

Song reminds me of shopping at American Eagle. They had the TV on in the back in front of a couch and they probably played this song and music video at least 50 times a day.

this was one of the early signals of terminal decline

21 years since we first went Da Da on the Lulelura.

21 years man 😔

AM I MOOOOOAAAAR THANNNN YOU BARGAINED FOR YETT I BEEN DYING TO TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU WANNA HEAR

21years?!? How.

Go back to y'all music!! Lol

I received a mix cd from a boy in 2005. It was all Fall Out Boy..

a fucking masterpiece

I’m 30 just realizing what a good chunk of the lyrics are saying and I hate it.😂 spent most of my childhood basically spouting nonsense that sounded like what the chorus said. Was never into this song tbh, but it’s nice to know what’s actually being said tbh

This song sucked when it came out just as it sucks today
