Ready to Feel Old? Fall Out Boy's 'Sugar, We're Goin Down' Turns 20 Today

Fall Out Boy's "Sugar We're Goin Down" changed the pop punk genre, and the lives of Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andrew Hurley.

Fall Out Boy fans are celebrating a special anniversary: "Sugar We're Goin' Down," the single that put the suburban Chicago band on the map, was released 20 years ago, on April 4, 2005. The zany, sometimes nonsensical lyrics, written by Pete Wentz, were paired with an equally quirky music video, telling the story of a guy with antlers crushing on a girl whose dad hates him for it. In the years since, the band has consistently released fan-favorite, critically acclaimed albums including Infinity on High in 2007 and Folie à Deux in 2008.
