Paramore Question

I'm pretty peeved with Wikipedia on their article on Paramore. :[

I really don't think Paramore's music is of the emo genre. I think it's more to alternative rock and pop punk. But not emo. Definitely not emo.

Agree or disagree?

Yes! I keep seeing that! I hate it! I wish they would get their facts straight and freaking change it!

Eh, this type of music will always be labeled as emo. It's ridiculous, because the term 'emo' in music does not mean music like Paramore in the slightest, but it's become acceptable to use that term.

Bands like FOB, MCR and Paramore are all grouped under the generic umbrella of 'emo' even though they aren't even close to being that kind of music. It's not going to change until people do some research and actually figure out what the term means, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Just gotta roll with it.

I do agree with you about Paramore being under the generic term of emo. A lot of people really have the wrong understanding of emo.

i LOVE Paramore, but emo doesnt always mean dark and cut yourself emo, just that they show a lot of emotion in their music. as from an article from somewhere on the Paramore website, they said, "'Brand New Eyes is practically just pages from my journal,' said Williams." or sumthing like that, i can remember off hand and it shows alot from them and they emotions so, i think this new album is sorta emo, but not really

Hmmm... I do agree with you on some points... But surely most songs these days express emotions. lol. Random example... Erm Celine Dion? My Heart Will Go On? It does express emotions. Well, lovey dovey emotions... Surely it's not emo, right?

No. Absolutely not. I have nothing against emo. The reason why I asked this question is that... Ah... How should I say this? It's like calling Whitney Houston a rocker. I really have nothing against emo. I just think that this is wrong categorization.
