SA called them the Fueled By Ramen Boys' Choir at one point, and I damn near killed myself with the giggling. It's funny 'cause it's true!
BWAH!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Fueled By Ramen Boys' Choir
Prettiest. Boys' Choir. Ever.

Ahahahaha! Oh lord, it is true, isn't it?
Either that, or its' the Fueled By Ramen Furry Convention. How many of those bands has P.Wentz made dress up in animal costumes, or interact with other people wearing animal costumes?
Not Jilli, but.... ::polishes I'm In Bandom, Ask Me How! button::
Well?
I can think of at least two bands, plus his own lead singer. Hell, he put one of his label's bands in another band's video in furry suits!

All of them. Well, possibly not The Cab. But everyone else has had to, I think.
Well?
Oh man, do you have specific questions? Or just an overview? I think I have some charts around here somewhere... ::rummages through Trapper Keeper::
I just don't really get it, so an overview, I guess.
Maybe a powerpoint presentation?
::ignores disturbing furry talk::
Bandom is ... well, fun! It's music with hooks, and often with really snarky, intelligent lyrics. I think there's a lot of joy in bandom that rubs off, as well -- these are, for the most part, really young people loving what they do, and it shows.
For me, it's a welcome respite from old favorites, and it's both danceable and sing-along-able, and a lot smarter than I initially gave it credit for.
Also, um, the pretty boys choir don't hurt.
Attempted (brief) overview:
Fall Out Boy: Snarky, but oddly effective, lyrics, great beat, definitely more rock than pop.
Panic at the Disco: Made of babies! For real, so young. Were: sort of techno-pop emo with a cabaret feel (born and raised in Vegas!), now exploring classic rock with a heavily Beatles-inspired, sunny, almost folky new record.
Um ... that's all I know, actually. Aside from MCR.
