Massive fan thinks the first album is called "Pressure" (it's called All We Know Is Falling), lol. Only joking Em, I know you are a big fan. :p

But I've got to disagree about when they went pop. The first album is easily their punkiest, but I think Riot! is one of their poppiest records. That's What You Get could be an Avril Lavigne track. Then BNE got a bit less pop IMO, the opening to Careful is about as harsh and discordant as they've ever sounded.

But yeah, Paramore is almost a straight pop record, for better or worse. I love it personally, can't get enough.

Hey it was early and I don't remember any of the other songs from that album :p

But I can see where you're coming from. Whatever, the music's good ;)

Last Hope is great though. I jam to it often.

It's all good Em, it's all good.

Last Hope is pretty marvellous, it's their ultimate "lighters in the air" ballad, just the ticket if if you like that kind of thing! It's like The Only Exception Pt 2.

Anyway, Paramore are a pop band with influences of punk, and alternative genres are bullshit and have basically no meaning.

:p

Could never get into Paramore, but from what I've heard of them, they borderline on pop at times

Oh, they are now, at least 90% of the time.

Once Hayley pushed the Farro brothers out for good, she bascially threw a big box of candy in the air and did a little jig. Paramore (the latest record) is almost pure sugar. But they still have moments of darker tones on stuff like Part II, Last Hope, Now and Future.

In fact, Future is about as far removed from the usual Paramore track as you could get, it's almost prog-rock.

Anyway, yeah, genres and stuff.

The cover band at the mad T party in California Adventure reminds me a lot of Paramore. It was actually kinda funny, like Paramore moonlights as an Alice in Wonderland band.

Eh, alternative kind of makes sense if you don't think of it as a genre so much as a similar thing to underground, ie. somewhat successful but not fitting in with the common sound. I agree it doesn't mean much anymore since A) all lines have become blurred and B) there isn't really enough properly mainstream rock to have a consistent sound, but if you think of last decade when there were all the bands like The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand, there were also bands like Hundred Reasons and Hell Is For Heroes that were different but not exactly purely underground. If that makes sense.

Can alternative still be alternative if it's mainstream?

I don't know but I was never ever interested in Paramore and having heard some stuff it's okay, yet I love No Doubt, and think Tragic Kingdom has some punk elements too. Though more reggae/ska.

Rush is a good case study of this, so yes it can. Even though they're more progressive than alt.

Ha, I'd argue they're purely progressive. They were one of the frontrunners of the prog era. :p Alternative always seemed like a label for lazy people who didn't want to say this rock doesn't sound "normal". It's a nondescript word. I don't know language is pretty awful for genres.

GENRES WAHEY.

Oh and those are probably the best gifs of Hayley that I've seen over the years. Such bouncy legs.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Genre arguments again though! Never change FAKEGAF.

Lol yeah they're definitely pure prog, but then again alt is such a stupid label. It's basically "it's like this but it doesn't sound like it", I always find the over complicated super wordy genre classifications to be hilarious but perfect descriptors at the same time.

Got myself an eee PC R101 with, lo and behold, Win XP on it. 2010--ish netbook and my very first mobile PC. Like it so far, quite slow, will see how useful it is in the future I guess :) Payed 40 bucks from a guy I know, so it's all good.

Ban him. Seriously, just ban him for life.

This would be totally unacceptable in almost any other setting.

Petulant, disgusting scumbag.

Still choked Italy is out. I didn't watch the game because I was sleeping but when I woke up and checked the score? ugh....

Uruguay going through sucks.

Italy has got old... :/
They also played for a draw, and once Uruguay scored, they started to come on strong.

This was def not a great game though.
So dirty on both sides, just diving and cheap shots everywhere.

Though you still got France, and they look awesome! :D
