The Paramore Story

[JustWowNick]

Considering this was a band started in high school, with some of the members being freshmen, it’s nothing short of a miracle that they’re still around.

[BrianFalconi]

This Is Why is their 6th album but it’s the first Paramore album where there were no lineup changes. They have had a novela worthy amount of drama and it is so awesome and honestly a relief that the band is finally in a good stable place

[johnpaulcross]

Crazy how the’ve been pushing pushing their boundaries album after album, and somehow it feels like they still have so much left to offer

[killercaos]

I swear this band represents the scene kids of the 2000s. And there’s nothing emo/scene kids love more than drama. So this band filled with drama makes complete sense

[issaphae]

big 2024 update: paramore have ended their 20-year contract with atlantic records and launched their new independent label, fine print records (presumably a nod to them finally “reading the fine print” after so many contractual disputes). their stint on taylor swift’s eras tour will probably aid to finance their independent endeavors.

[ghostyboi]

getting a couple pre-teens and expecting them to live in stardom with eachother and GET ALONG and NOT constantly break up is probably up there in the list of "things that *will* go wrong"

[philly_sports]

I will always think Brand New Eyes is Paramore’s greatest album while also acknowledging how rough the making of the album was for the band members. I doubt Hayley, Zac, and Taylor look back on that era fondly due to all the band in-fighting at the time. I just think the album’s songwriting and energy is off-the-charts amazing and I think the Fleetwood Mac “Rumours” energy coming off it makes it even more intriguing.

Paramore having sold a total of 7 Million Records is considerably lower than I thought. Artists like Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, and Gorillaz have sold more than that in a single album alone. They Definitely deserve more.

Jeremy's such an ass, dude saw the band doing well, came back. left and came back again. then years later got greedy for stuff he didn't even had the rights too 💀 the friendship and the music meant nothing to him

[ShesUncontrolable]

Im just gonnna go ahead and thank Taylor for saving Paramore!!

[bunnyfrosting]

I’m so surprised more people don’t like their newest album more. It took me a while to get into it, but after blasting it in my headphones, learning the lyrics enough to sing along, and letting myself DANCE, I’m so fond of it. Imo that’s how their music should be listened to 🤧

[KingKafei]

Paramore is my favorite band and I was so fucking glad to be able to see them with floor seats pretty close to the stage this past June after so long

[SuperCezo]

Man that echo effect to transition the songs back to the narration is top notch editing lol I was nerding out so much about it

[valence]

I'm so glad you made a video about them. Their albums are always incredible!

[xxixxieea]

Even though it's not really hayley's fault I cannot imagine how frustrating it was for the rest of the band to constantly be second fiddle.

[MyPokebros]

The constant struggle the band went through, to now consistency in its members is so nice. Following Hayley on social media for a while, she was genuinely quite open about how she was feeling, you could tell she was going through it. With all of that and probably more behind the scenes Paramore and Hayley's own personal projects just keep getting stronger imo.

[homogenicmp]

After Laughter is probably my favorite Paramore album, I saw them live in 2017 and 2022 and they were great.

[mysteriousskin]

After laughter is an album that changed my life like omgggg the trio was meant to be all along

[heysquirrelbait]

Paramore’s story would honestly make an incredible coming of age film.

"Taylor had managed to single handedly save music." real
