  I try not to lean into parasociality, but of the celebrities I&apos;m familiar with, Hayley does seem like someone a bit more in touch and willing to speak up about things that people of her level of fame tend to shy away from discussing. I definitely found it endearing when she gushed about attending a Black church in TN for the first time and being awed by the level of musically and vocal abiity and joy &nbsp;of the choir and musicians. I knew I was in the right place when during &nbsp;the performance &nbsp;of True Believer at her concert &nbsp;everyone yelled &quot;The South will not rise again, til it&apos;s paid for every sin.&quot; and later on she proceeded to sing a small portion of A Long Walk by Jill Scott 😂 I really enjoy &nbsp;Ms. Paramore.

  Literally 55 seconds in and just the mention of New Jack Swing and Stevie Wonder told me everything I needed to know. I knew there was a reason I loved Paramore so much...Lol

  Hayley be talking about civil rights like she&apos;s leading a revolution. Hasn&apos;t slowed her down one bit. She&apos;s one of the few artists I&apos;ve seen call out her own immaturity in her earlier work. It&apos;s not simple stuff like Kesha changing the P. Diddy line in Tik Tok. It&apos;s looking at your past self and knowing what you were feeling and not being okay with how you reacted to the situation. Her constantly taking accountability is a characteristic of a leader. It&apos;s why people feel comfortable following her music word for word. Paramore is literally a safe space because it&apos;s policed by Haley herself. 🐬

  I’m not a Paramore fan, much respect to what they have accomplished.<br>I think it’s important for white music fans to realize that there’s a whole world of music out there to get into, and they’re really missing out if they don’t explore.

  as a white boy living in Russia and a bit of a scene kid back in the day, if I met someone liking Paramore it was always like a secret handshake to me. it was not cool to like their music, they were very easily pigeonholed into the cast of Twilight-related one-hit-wonders, especially for my peers who rarely understood English lyrics and haven&apos;t had a clue about All We Know is Falling. but if you met someone who really digged their music, you knew exactly why, and this connection was really special. <br><br>I&apos;m a sucker for a well-rounded rock or pop diva with the voice and the body to show for, but Haley Williams always seemed more like a thoughtful artsy older sister or a girl next door. it was refreshing to see a female artist out there not sexualizing their image and not catering to men&apos;s expectations, all the while being so unapologetically themself and so sincere and vulnerable in the song lyrics. <br><br>Paramore&apos;s music not only helped me through the rough times of adolescence, but also made me a genuinely better person.

  xennial here. &nbsp;the 2000s emo/pop punk era is so under-analyzed and misunderstood and memory-holed, really appreciate your dive into some corners of it here. &nbsp;this video got me (re-)thinking about the economics of that scene and how people found out about new music not just from music blogs but also video games and stuff like wrestling, x-sports, etc. &nbsp;anyway, great video! 🐬
