## Overview

The founders Wentz and Trohman were teenage friends both active in the underground punk scene in Chicago in the early 2000s. The band's music is mostly like the pop-punk style, or genre, of music. The band got the name "Fall Out Boy" from a character who appeared in The Simpsons. "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" was the first single from their album _From Under the Cork Tree_. It has peaked at number eight on the _Billboard_ charts. The second single was "Dance, Dance" which picked up major airplay in the U.S. The third single was "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More Touch Me." Their third album is _Infinity on High_ and it had lots of success around the world.

Two songs from the album were very popular across the world. They are "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs". The second song's title is "Thanks for the Memories" without the vowel letters, which is meant to look as if it were from a text message.

The third single from _Infinity on High_ is called "The Take Over, The Breaks Over". The fourth is "I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You)". Their fourth album _Folie à Deux_, was released on December 16, 2008. "I Don't Care" was the first song released from the album. In late 2009 the band took a rest.
