"It's more fun to play people who aren't jaded, to be someone's first show. There's nothing worse than someone who's seen it all before."

As the poster boy for the new-age emo genre, Wentz said he sees the use of the term as ridiculous as it was in its inception in the early 90s. "It doesn't affect my life one way or the other. We don't have meetings about what color to paint our nails or how to take over the world or anything."

So what does the future hold for Fall Out Boy? Wentz said the band will be on tour for a while and then produce a DVD and maybe another B-sides record. Their goal for the year is to "go to every corner of this earth and maybe do some good now and again."

For now though, it's difficult for pretty boy Pete Wentz to look toward the future when he's on top of the world. It's sink or swim for Wentz, and he's treading water while he still can.

The "Half of Us" campaign will begin April 2 via HalfofUs.com, and in mid-April, MTVu and MTVu.com will air the interview with Pete Wentz in a commercial-free half-hour episode, in which Wentz will discuss his ongoing struggle to overcome depression. Fall Out Boy will also soon be headlining The Honda Civic Tour, featuring +44, The Academy Is …, Cobra Starship and Paul Wall.
