I am genuinely into soul, R&B and hip hop - all these genres that get slapped under the 'soul' genre. That spoke to me more than it did to my punk-rock friends. And punk spoke more to me than it did to my soul friends. I basically didn't fit comfortably in either world.
In Fall Out Boy, we were all playing with our pop punk influences, so that was always within that kind of framework.
Stray thought for the day: Putting boundaries on how punk should sound/look is the least punk rock thing one can do. Be yourself=Very punk.
'Punk' doesn't mean Mohawks and safety pins. It's about not conforming.
