More recent releases have more emphasis on electronic elements compared to their regular instruments.or their regular instruments are distorted to such a degree that they wouldn't be recognizable as traditional rock instrument playing note In particular, much of "Young and Menace" actually WAS done with their normal instruments, just heavily altered!.

Chart Displacement: "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" is the band's highest-charting song on the Hot 100 (peaking at #2), and while it is well known by fans, songs like "Sugar, We're Goin Down" (#8), "Dance, Dance" (#9), "Centuries" (#10), "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" (#11) & "My Songs." (#13) are much more recognizable & popular despite charting lower.While most of the elements are actually done with traditional rock instruments and effects, that hasn't stopped the "old school fans who don't like new Fall Out Boy material for perceived lack of depth versus everyone else who liked the song" conflicts. Fall Out Boy's habit for experimentation leads to yet another contentious song among the fanbase: 'Young and Menace.' While Fall Out Boy dabbled before in electronic music elements like sampling, it comes across more strongly in this track which features stuttered vocals and a drop.The biggest point of agreement was that Missy Elliot's guest verse was good.unless you're a Fall Out Boy fan who doesn't like it when they work with rappers.

There is a small section of fans who actually like it. Patrick's vocals were also a point of contention, with some finding them great and others finding them uncharacteristically awful from him. Is their song from the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot good or awful? General consensus seems to be that it's a bad remix/cover of the original, with some adding that it's more of Fall Out Boy on autopilot than them actually putting any heart into it note Compared to Fall Out Boy's usual output and the original song, the lyrics are unusually simplistic.More examples of fandom complaints about Fall Out Boy's shifting sound over the years can be found in the They Changed It, Now It Sucks! section. Sampling is more traditionally used in electronic music and rap, genres that Fall Out Boy are fans of and have collaborated with before. Some don't like the switch because they feel that less use of their main instruments and a heavier focus on outside instrumentation & samples makes it sound less original note Despite claims of unoriginality, Fall Out Boy is one of the few rock acts known for their use of sampling. Some fans are fine with the switch because it's Fall Out Boy, they weren't exactly not poppy before then, and they're known to switch things up. Over their post-hiatus poppier sound compared to their older material.Which albums fans in the latter camp prefer, obviously, vary based on personal preference, due to the amount of genre-shifting they've done over the years. Less generally, between people who only like Take This To Your Grave/ From Under The Cork Tree, those who only like their pre-hiatus material, and those who like everything. More generally, people who don't like the direction Fall Out Boy has taken since Take This To Your Grave/ From Under The Cork Tree versus.everyone else. Over Folie a Deux, though you'll find more people defending it these days than when it was first released.
