Kailee Shollenberger Professor Long Pop & Protest Gender "Girls/Girls/Boys" Panic! At the Disco Panic! At the Disco first emerged at the peak of the emo movement during the mid 2000s. The band was created by two high school friends, drummer Spencer Smith and guitarist Ryan Ross, who grew tired of covering other artists, specifically blink-182. They recruited guitarist and vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Brent Wilson. Together the new band caught the attention of Decaydance Records and became the first band to be signed to Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz’s label. Their 2005 debut, “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out”, topped the charts with “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”. Wilson was fired while Panic! was on the Nintendo Fusion Tour, leading to the addition of Jon Walker to the group. Eventually, Walker and Ross parted ways with the band to begin their own music career as a duo. Leaving Urie and Smith shorthanded, they filled their lineup with Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes. By 2016 Brendon Urie had taken the wheel and directed the sound Panic!’s music from emo driven rock to psychedelic pop and electronic beats. Brendon Urie has been a longtime ally of the LGBTQ community and has come out as pansexual. Panic! At the Disco’s song “Girls/Girls/Boys” explores the idea that “love is not a choice” and the concept of living freely (1). Urie has publicly stated that the inspiration for the song was his sexual experience with a bisexual girl and her girlfriend when he was sixteen. During the pre-chorus, Urie explains that we do not have a choice in who we love saying, “And never did I think that I would be caught in the way you got me,” (1). He did not think he would fall in love with this girl as she’s in a relationship with another woman, but the girl’s bisexuality does not bother him. The chorus of the song delivers its strongest message in the chorus where it directly states that “love is not a choice” (1). The song describes the feelings a boy develops for the girl he is pretending to date, so she can be in a relationship with another girl without anyone knowing. The words “sophisticated, manipulated,” found in the chorus describe the complexity of personal identity, yet it is not an intellectual concept. Your gender identity and sexual preference is the most primal thing we share. A person can often feel “manipulated” by the urge to express their true selves due to some people’s difficulty in accepting those who are different than them. Fans have expressed the comfort and support they felt from this song which encourages everyone to be true to themselves as you do not choose who you love. 1. https://genius.com/2304367 ​ ​ .

  • At the Disco Panic!
    MARCH/APRIL 2011 ISSUE MMUSICMAG.COM Panic! At the Disco released the long- awaited Vices & Virtues, the band’s third album and its fi rst written entirely by Urie and Smith. “It defi nitely took some time to fi gure out exactly what we wanted to do,” Smith acknowledges. “Even though it was still Panic, it felt like a new band.” Working with producers John Feldmann and Butch Walker, Urie and Smith struggled to fi nd their sound—but they did know they wanted to recapture the spirit of their debut, 2005’s multiplatinum A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. Smith recalls that in the group’s early days, the members felt a sense of musical freedom. They paired punk guitars and pop melodies with synthesizer licks and dance beats, never thinking their hyperactive, hyper-emotional sound would help defi ne alternative rock for the MySpace era. “On our fi rst record, that was the mentality: Anything was allowed,” Smith says. “There was no pressure. Any musical style was possible.” On its follow-up, the band opted for what Smith calls a more “confi ned” Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith Jennifer Tzar approach, allowing their budding enthusiasm for ’60s psychedelic rock to lead them down the rabbit hole of Pretty. OOdddd., a Sgt. Pepper-style concept record. PANIC!PANIC! ATAT THE DISCODISCO VicesVices & VirtuesVirtues retains some of those No need for alarm—the synth-popsters have retro elements, but Urie and Smith mostly dust off the synths and deliver gigantic returned to the dance fl oor arena-emo choruses like the one heard on the lead single “The Ballad of Mona Lisa.” WHEN PANIC! AT THE DISCO Ross had just quit, leaving singer-guitarist “One album got it out of our system,” Smith announced in July 2009 that it was reinserting Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith says.

Oct. 2021 Reading real person fiction as digital fiction: An argument for new perspectives Judith Fathallah Bangor University, UK Abstract ‘Real person fiction’ (RPF) is a subset of fanfiction that has gone largely unnoticed by academics. A handful of articles have argued for the justification of stories about real (living) people as a legitimate and morally sound art form, but only a very few studies have begun to consider RPF as a genre with its own aesthetics and conventions.

At The Disco Zespół grający pop punk, pochodzący z Las Vegas w Nevadzie. Jak prawie każdy zespół mieli swoje wzloty i upadki, a dziś trochę o nich i o historii tej grupy. Zaczęło się od 4 kumpli z liceum: Ryan Ross (gitara), Brent Wilson (bas), Spencer Smith (perkusja) oraz Brendon Urie, którzy postanowili założyć zespół. Ich pierwszym miejscem prób i nagrywania coverów był salon babci Spencera. Na szczęście niedługo później przenieśli się do profesjonalnej sali prób, gdzie ćwiczyli wraz z innymi zespołami, którymi się bardzo inspirowali. Jako że nadal się uczyli w liceum i ich życie głównie zależało od rodziców, nie mieli lekko.
