Woo hoo, reviving a dead thread!
I've been a huge Paramore fan since 2006 when I saw the music video for "Emergency" on Fuse, and I never stopped loving 'em.
I'm so glad they didn't break up after Josh and Zac left, but like a lot of other people, I was a little nervous about the direction they'd take. But MAN!!! Their self-titled album is
AWESOME!!! (Sorry, I had to put that in caps.) By far, it's my favorite album of theirs; there's not a single bad song on it, and just watching them come so far and grow into such happy people makes me happy too. :')
(I
hate going into the comments section of Youtube whenever I watch one of their music videos, though. People always whine about how they want Josh and Zac back in the band, despite the fact that they almost broke up, and then there are the people who criticize Hayley left and right for "selling out."
(Not to mention the slut-shaming they throw at her, good God!) Paramore is growing up! They can't make the same album over and over, and I'm glad they don't. I can't wait to hear everything else they're bound to come up with.)
