Improbably critically successful acts merge
The lead singer from Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump, has taken a small break from winning the hearts of teenage girls. The Stumpster shot a cameo for an upcoming episode of Law & Order.
Stump, the voice behind brilliant lyrics such as “He, he tastes like you only sweeter” and ???I keep telling myself/I’m not the desperate type??? has always been a L&O buff, and said, ???I’ve been begging forever, ’cause I’m just a fan.”
The connection between emo and Law & Order is simple. Law & Order is something watched begrudgingly in sweatpants because there???s nothing better on TV on Saturday nights. Emo music, a punk offshoot signified by its propensity towards angst and loud guitar-playing, is also born out of desperation.
