Fall Out Boy Complete Discography (Albums, Mixtapes, Singles, Features)

Since their humble beginnings in a Chicago suburb in 2001, Fall Out Boy has influenced countless pop rock bands to follow.

Their mainstream breakout in 2005, with “Sugar We’re Goin Down” and, later, “Dance Dance,” propelled the band to new heights—as well as criticisms from former fans who felt the band was selling out.

Even the harshest critics, whether former fans or holdouts from the start, have to admit that the band’s constant experimentation and prolificity is impressive. They’re among the best pop-punk bands today.

Fall Out Boy might constantly evolve their sound, and song titles seem to keep getting shorter—but their hallmarks of clever lyricism, genre blending, and showmanship are here to stay.

Love ’em or hate ’em, they’re more than just an emo band for stoners. Fall Out Boy has impacted the music world and artists from Kanye West to K-pop bands such as BLACKPINK, MAMAMOO, and BTS.
