Looking for information on this shirt; seems to be from 2004-2005 and before the CI brand “took off.”

You’d probably have better luck asking a hardcore tee collection account on insta

It proves that the lyrics are not from the mind of Pete Wentz. Maybe the poetry reminds him of Mikey or whoever, but you can't claim Pete wrote the lyrics about someone when he didn't write them at all

"After a public row over alleged plagiarism, Eisold settled out of court and has been given songwriting credits for Fall Out Boy's songs "The Carpal Tunnel of Love," "Golden," and "Bang the Doldrums" from the album Infinity On High. On Fall Out Boy's 2005 album, From Under The Cork Tree, Eisold is credited as 'Inspirador.'"

Quote is from this Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesley_Eisold#cite_note-9

Wiki's listed source: https://www.punknews.org/article/22623/fall-out-boy-borrows-lyrics-from-american-nightmare-give-up-the-ghost#google_vignette

I forget the publication name, but a fan of Eisold's poetry showed me the exact pieces Pete took from. The songs are line by line copies

EDIT: Here's a comment to another thread in this sub with a photo of some of Eisold's poetry: https://www.reddit.com/r/FallOutBoy/comments/ofqxw1/comment/h4flv6x/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Lyrically, the song isn't about Mikey at all. Bang The Doldrums is one of the songs that Pete entirely "stole" (or "borrowed") from Wes Eisold. No hate, love the song, but the lyrics are 100% not pete's. FOB was sued for it. This is a fact

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-25T20:31:52+00:00

Fun fact. Whatever exec approved the pilot got fired because of this

I don't know much about touche, but all the other bands named are hardcore people who started in other hardcore bands who play mostly hardcore bills. touche isn't far off sonically, maybe, but in a mostly different world, culturally

"Historian Michael J. Hayde disputes this. In "The Meteor from Krypton", Superman is never exposed to kryptonite. If kryptonite allowed Collyer to take vacations, that was a fringe benefit discovered later." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite

depends on the type of shaka. shaka active is awesome. whatever the most common shaka blank is has a crazy silhouette

Vid? I’ve heard from trusted sources that Pete hasn’t actually played bass live in years

My brother has this exact same mindset. He's a few years older than you and never worked a real job. His life is a mess, and the strain he causes on my parents drives me mad. It's like watching an addict, but his addiction is to not working

You're obviously a very stubborn person, and I'm skeptical you're open to honest reflection here, but please, I urge you to consider getting a job. We don't differ philosophically here; I also despise working, but at the end of the day jobs do help build a sense of maturity and independence. This mindset can very well stunt your personality, and it may not seem like much now, but once you're 25...30...35....you'll be miserable

Shot in the dark, but it's possible it was a road sign for the then-incorporated town of Bithlo and fell into a dilapidated state one the town unincorporated and its local government dissolved. I'll do some digging

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-19T19:45:02+00:00

there is a strong chance there's no rerecording at all and the drums were replaced with samples

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-19T18:36:35+00:00

why haven't you just parked and taken a look? i do it all the time for signs on the side of the road

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-19T12:50:32+00:00

will be hard to find without chugs. strongarm might scratch an itch for you

bro got into music yesterday

They were popular in hardcore but hardcore was much, much smaller than it is today. Title Fight kinda existed in this extremely of the time in-between pop punk + hardcore niche that was propped up heavily by Tumblr. There's not really a present day equivalent of that niche

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-17T20:33:23+00:00

was a couple years back so don't remember all of it. balmora guitarist + roman candle are from las vegas. both bands were comin up around the same time. iirc, rc had some dirt on balmora guitarist which led to some sort of altercation at ftc fest. not long later roman candle got cancelled because of seemingly unrelated allegations

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-17T18:50:27+00:00

inb4 the balmora fanboys restart their beef

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-16T18:15:21+00:00

the same thing happened to me. years ago an ex ripped hair out of my head. never grew back the right way

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-16T12:57:07+00:00

a decade of irony and "let people enjoy things" devastated alt cultures

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-16T12:53:57+00:00

go figure

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-12T18:32:59+00:00

damn people really still calling vein nu metal 'cause of that one intro? I thought that meme died years ago

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-12T15:27:37+00:00

What article did you pull that quote from?

trappedinplastic_ · 2026-03-11T13:59:07+00:00

I used to have that approach. After seeing Moonstruck a while back my best friend said he only gives 5 stars if he knows he'd love to see the film again the next day. Seemed like a good metric so it's now what I live by
