The song that's affected me the most profoundly is probably Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' or, more specifically, the couple seconds of instrumental break before Vincent Price starts 'rapping.' Patrick Stump affectbreakcouple Change image and share on social
All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating. We connect on the things we are disappointed in. Some may argue that nothing in history gathers a crowd like complaining about Lady Gaga's meat dress. Patrick Stump actagreeargue share on social

There's no first impressions anymore. You go to a job interview, and they'll probably Google you. It's a shame - people should play it a little closer to the chest as far as what information they release to the world. If I'm angry about something, I'm not going to take to my Twitter.

I was going to record a solo album when I was 15 on a four-track. I started working on it, but then Fall Out Boy happened. The band was awesome and took me in a totally different direction. I don't regret it at all, but the band delayed the record I had been planning. Patrick Stump albumawesomeband share on social
The music business is one of a few places where everything you've heard about it seems entirely cliche, but it's true. Patrick Stump businessclichehave Change image and share on social
When you're a little kid, you just like music that makes you happy and is fun. As you get older, you reach college or your 20s and you decide that music should be challenging and all art should be smart. So you start to think it makes you like high art more to put down things you consider low art. I don't even think things are low art. Patrick Stump 20sartchallenge share on social
In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework. Patrick Stump boyfallframework Change image and share on social
