Fall Out Boy. Love them or hate them, everyone you know has an opinion about them, and they’re probably not too afraid to share it. In light of the band’s success with Save Rock And Roll one might think the bashing and unnecessary jabs would slow, or at least diminish, but that does not seem to be the case. Now, frontman Patrick Stump has taken to Twitter to call out one of his hecklers, and the results are destined to become internet legend.
Starting around 3:30 PM (EST) today, Stump began posting a series of tweets responding to comments he did not directly reference at first, but that clearly made him upset. He opened with, “I should be so lucky! I’m gonna tell you something: I’m a pretty nice guy. You’d probably like me. Allow me to make that impossible for you.” At this point Stump essentially became unhinged and let loose on this then-unidentified heckler. To prevent misunderstanding his comments, I’m going to embed the originals:
You suck at heckling. We could start with how none of your insults have contextual substance.

You’re all shock. “AIDS.” “Dead Babies.” “Emo.” “Eyeliner.” “Kill Yourself.” It’s fluff. It’s lazy.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
Like for someone criticizing you, it’d be less lazy to point out that it’s a poor idea for a music manager to pick fights w/ musicians.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
It might lead one to think you’re a pretty shitty music manager. Not my words mind you; Your internal monologue’s. And work performance’s.

Or how you’re trolling for barrels full of fish to shoot on message boards of bands you spend so much time hating, you might as well like.

While we’re on the subject of voluntary irrelevance; Trolling itself is kind of over. It’s too transparently sad.

You’re just a reality star nobody’s wasting the memory stick on. You went straight to washed up.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
About as washed up as one would expect from a guy so on the pulse of relevant pop culture that he’s spitting barbs about emo through grills.

It’s like you were born a desperate heroin-addled Reno dinner theatre has-been.

Perhaps one could point out how I like pretty much everybody and even I don’t like you.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
All told your most effective insult is the one you are to the art of criticism and music management.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
See, those are all better insults because even my insults are more dignified than you are.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
So what’s your next stock bully move sweep-the-leg-Johnny? Resort to the age old “Sellout?” Get that fist fight ready?
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
“I know what I’ll do. I’ll insult his friends and family. Yeah. That’ll really show him! Hey Pat! Your band sucks!…and…uh…your mom!”
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
Beat me, insult me; Doesn’t matter. You’re just the card we can see up the magician’s sleeve.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
So how about this magic trick: I’m going to click “Block,” and you’re going to lose money.
— Patrick Stump (@PatrickStump) May 8, 2013
That last mess of tweets was all directed at one @iamshanemorris. Do the world a favor and block him as well. Have a great day :)
