2005 was a big year for the growing pop-punk and emo scenes, especially where they crossed over. This was the year Panic! at the Disco debuted with A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Paramore debuted with All We Know Is Falling, and both Fall Out Boy and All-American Rejects released breakthrough sophomore albums. There were also hugely popular releases from Plain White T’s and Motion City Soundtrack.
