Who knows? I’m excited for the new single to drop, though.

The same Fall Out Boy that steals other people’s melodies? They haven’t any points with this Opponaut.

Son Lux or GUTG?

As much as I deeply hate stealing/recycling/excessively sampling material, the pop/pop-punk industry for the past 15 years or so has been built on it.
Son Lux initially allowed usage of a sample but rescinded it when they heard the track, which is rather odd and hard to classify blatantly as stealing. As for GUTG, it’s sad but you gotta remember that around that time people were borrowing lyrics from all over, be it for choruses (rap from everything), diss tracks (Brand New/TBS), or what have you. Hell, Sum 41 cribbed most of a Maiden riff to record an album cut. Wasn’t it last year that Taylor Swift and One Direction released THE EXACT SAME SONG just with different lyrics? While it doesn’t make it less shitty, swiping stuff from other people is just a pox of the pop music industry.

So the label for Son Lux hated the song, but made FOB pay about 4 times the industry average to use it, so that was fine. Wesley Eisold also came out and said he co-wrote songs with FOB, and the lawsuit was settled out of court and it wasn’t a big deal, probably because he got compensation after his lyrics were used by FOB.

Basically. It’s kinda hard to hate FOB for it because both things got resolved in a manner that benefitted the little guy (far from the norm in mainstream music).
