I hate Fallout Boy Guy’s singing accent so intensely and viscerally
no I will not honor him with the labor of looking up his name
a person with an irritating accent, like a valleygirl accent, can have the excuse that they grew up with it
pop singers have pop song accents - Miley Cyrus's accent in "On A Roll" is a chimera of regional American accents - but she has the excuse that she was trained to do this
the singer from Fallout Boy has no excuse for his crimes of subjecting me to Baah Baah In A DooDoo Ruhround for years of my life, suffering comparable only to the Year Of Stanky Legg, and if I ever meet him I will say this to his face. in fact I will say much more than this to his face, as there are no facebook terms of service IRL and most of the things I want to say are against that.
I hate Fallout Boy Guy so much and his crimes against oral clarity are unforgivable

for contrast, this is what Fall Out Boy sounds like when written by a human being who has mastered such skills as "talking”: https://youtu.be/MivQL5dv0KU
