Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

While the 14 year old boys have the Kerrang posters on their ceiling.

Paramore were famous a few years back for having a 15 year old female singer, but shes like 19 or 20 now. They tend to be listened to by those who like stuff like Nickelback (ie critics dont like them but radio/mtv does). I'd imagine a lot of 14 year old girls who read Kerrang love them while the 14 year old boyss have the Kerrang posters on their ceiling.

oops

but im sure you all get the picture now :)

see that first pic, what do you think the bloke on the right seems to be doing but isn't really?

He's punching himself in the face so that we don't have to?

Musical style and influences

Paramore's music has generally been regarded as emo[43][44] and pop punk[45]. Joshua Martin had written after an interview with Hayley Williams, "The band isn't just a short pop-punk girl with red hair and a spunky attitude. Their music is like them, it's aged differently. It's sped up, and slowed down. It's emo without being whiny, or bratty. Almost a very literal anti-Avril Lavigne.

an anti-Avril Lavigne that shares the same fans.

It's emo without being whiny, or bratty.

sorry, but this is demonstrably false

Trying to imagine the almost-literal anti-Avril Lavigne.

i really hope that picture is real.

paramore are fun. its just vacuous emo pop done better than most other vacuous emo pop. Also "listened to by 14 year olds" is a rubbish criticism.

Its a truth

A reviewer at NME had likened Paramore's sound to that of "No Doubt (stripped of all the ska bollocks)" and "Kelly Clarkson's wildest dreams.

Paramore has expressed appreciation for Blink-182, Death Cab for Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, MewithoutYou, and Sunny Day Real Estate,[55] as well as Thrice and New Found Glory;[56] Hayley Williams citing her personal influences as Robert Smith of The Cure and Etta James.[57] Williams also explained that bands such as U2, "who are massive, and do whatever they want, write whatever they want and they stand for something," Jimmy Eat World, "who I don’t think ever disappoint their fans," and No Doubt, who "have done amazing things," act as a pattern for the path in which Paramore would like to take their career.

oh and did I forget to mention they're a christian band?

In an interview with the BBC, Josh Farro stated "Our faith is very important to us. It's obviously going to come out in our music because if someone believes something, then their world view is going to come out in anything they do.

acts having shitty influences haven't stopped me liking them before. or else i would have stopped loving hiphop for its phil collins/coldplay bumplay.

again, being christian i don't care about, they aren't exactly a christian rock band. if they were tories maybe.

They would have to be british then

tories or international equiv

so you like their music then? is this what you're trying to say?

well i like about a 1/3 of their first album and can't fain enough interest to try their second...

I knew you were only defending them because you fancied the singer!!

nah its cos i am bored and trying to find anyway to distract myself so i dont fall asleep before the football. plus isn't she only like 15 which would make that gross?
