[officialtayley]

Hiii I’m new to the paramore fandom (is there a fandom name?) and I’ve gone deep down the paramore / tayley rabbit hole! Your blog & timeline is so amazing & helpful. Are there any major events / videos / band stuff etc that new fans should know that’s like lore or just important stuff that very good paramore fan should know - I’ve liked this band from afar for ages but just got to see them live and was amazed and I’ve realised theres so much history i’m very behind on! Thanks :)

hehe welcome welcome!!!! <3

i don't believe there is an official fandom name. back in the day it was parawhores, then hayley didn't like it anymore, then it became parafamily/parafam, and now who knows

i'm glad my tayley timeline could help u :) for videos, i'll link a few i feel are important! under the videos will be a list of what is hopefully close to what you asked for in terms of events, lore, etc! anons are free to send anything in that adds to it since their history is extensive & i may have missed something major/important! there are 100% typos so i apologise in advance

- 40 days of riot (documentary that was part of the final riot)

- making of brand new eyes

- pomona 2009: decode (hayley loses her voice)

- the last word

- pomona 2012: in the mourning & monster

- 2014 ltfb/part performance

- r+l 2014: the only exception

- parahoy 2: htsyhb (the speech 🥲), oh star, q&a, show 1 hug @ 7:14, future (and 2nd hug from show 2)

- zane lowe 2017 & 2023

- i caught myself (this performance was a day or two after her divorce announcement. it's very emotional)

- spotify doc

- parahoy 2018: q&a

- art + friends 2018: tell me how (the song is about jeremy)

when hayley moved to tennessee in 2002, she met the guys and by 2003 paramore was formed.

Hayley's hair in dis picture iz something I didn't knew I needed 2 see

[dykehayleywilliams]

hi ro fandom historian question did we every have an official name besides parawhores? also did they ever call us that themselves or was that self appointed? i feel like ive heard parafamily from them but i often make things up

"parawhore" was the self-appointed fandom name. it was used as early as 2005 but didn't pick up as the "official" name until the riot! cycle. there have always been people who didn't like the name but i think the first BIG push to stop using it was in 2011 or so. "parafam"/"parafamily" was the name semi-adopted at that point, but it never picked up or reached wide-spread use in the same way.

as far as i can remember, this was the only sanctioned endorsement of parawhore by the band lol

Paramore - This Is Why in-depth album review

As for someone growing up in the emo scene, Paramore has always been the band that meant constant change for me. The band that could release any type of music tomorrow and I could bop my head to it. I enjoy pretty much everything they released so far in their career and I must say, when I heard the singles I didn’t know that this album would hold this many surprises.

1. This Is Why

Both the first single and the opening track of the album. The guitar is really funky, much like on the previous record After Laughter, the melodies are classic Paramore, just how everyone in the Parafamily likes it. I personally don’t know the writing process of the lyrics but it sounds like it was written during the quarantine times because it sounds like Hayley was actually a bit agoraphobic, and was actually scared to leave her house. I also adore the video of this song, it’s the weirdness and the quirkiness that I love this band for.

2. The News

Second single, second song on the record. The News is about being scared to watch or listen to any news outlet because all they do is bring the listener/watcher down. The parallels between the dark thoughts in someone’s head and the happenings that are actually out there are terrifying. The instrumental is a really dark but clean melody that with a little distortion could sound like an early Paramore song, even the pre-chorus reminded me of crushcrushcrush. This song is one of my favorites off the album.

3. Running Out of Time

This song is pretty straightforward, as the title suggests it’s about running out of time, always making excuses and being late. Around the bridge Hayley realizes that it’s best to accept that she’s never gonna be not out of time. Instrumentally the song follows similar song structure as This Is Why, the guitars are similar to that song too, barely any distortion or effect, weird time signature, it looks like that’s Paramore in 2023.

4. C’est Comme Ça

Undoubtedly the weirdest song on the album. Many of the fans didn’t like it after the first listen but honestly, for me the weirdness of this song is what makes it so good. C’est Comme Ça or in English ‘That’s The Way It Is” is about acceptance of failure when it comes to getting better. As someone going through hardships currently the line that say: ‘In a single year, I aged one hundred’ got instantly memorable for me. Hayley talks about healing and how her own self prevents being healed, self-sabotaging herself to the point of regression. She even admits: “getting better is boring”. Everyone has doubts about themselves getting better and this song shows Hayley is no exception.

5. Big Man, Little Dignity

For such an chill song this is one of the angriest lyrics I encountered in recent Paramore songs. Hayley sings about a man (or it can mean people like him in general), that are not held accountable for their actions. She says “she can’t look away” because they’re like “a movie that she loves to hate”. She’s waiting patiently for the demise of the previously mentioned men but when it doesn’t happen she gets disappointed. It looks like it’s the same old story over and over again and she’s really disappointed. She hopes for a different outcome too but that’s also not happening. Instumentally this song is nothing special, some chill guitar playing and slow tempo, but the lyrics are in the focus anyway so it doesn’t matter anyways.

6. You First

Not gonna lie, the first couple notes of this song were a little jarring to my ear. The drumbeat sounded also a little off. But when the verse kicked in it transformed this song to the best song on the album for me. The verses and the chrorus sound like they could be from the All We Know is Falling era. It’s like Hayley voice can’t get older from her 16 year old self. The song follows a similar theme as the previous one, she sings about revenge and that karma will reach us all. The best line on the album is in this song too: “Turns out I’m living in a horror film, where I’m both the killer and the final girl”. This song is pure emo excellence. I love it.

7. Figure 8

To my surprise You First wasn’t the only nostalgic sounding song on the album. This song is about endless pessimism, the fact that she can’t break away from these negative thoughts, these go on on forever. “spinning in an endless figure 8″. These lyrics are probably the most melancholic sounding ones so far. Eventually the song got a little boring for me. The chrorus undoubtedly screams early Paramore though which is one of the best things about it.

8. Liar

This song is about Hayley’s love to fellow band member Taylor York, and how admitting it to herself must be wrong. She says she got good at fighting it, Around the bridge she admits her love and says she’s not ashamed of it. This song is a sappy love song about being vulnerable with someone and how hard it is for everyone who feels that way. It’s a little too bland for me but it’s a really chill one for melancholic nights.

9. Crave

Probably the single most relatable song for me on the record. Crave follows a similar thought that After Laughter started back in 2017, but is about accepting the journey through mental illness instead of denying it. “I romanticize even the worst of times When all it took to make me cry was being alive” - these lyrics have to be relatable to everyone who have dealt with depression in the past, The chorus is a little repetitive but has a lot of power in it. Definitely the song that needs the most replays for me.

10. Thick Skull

This melancholic closing track features a mellow instrumental with drone sounds, shoegaze elements, weird drum patterns, the whole package. The song is about leaving the toxic managers and naysayers behind that caused Hayley and the rest of the band many insecurities in the past. As Hayley said in an interview: “This being the last album of this era of our career as part of the same contract I signed as a teen, I just want to leave all those fears and the bullshit here. I’m not taking it with me any further.” Good for her and for the whole band, It’s really an end of an era that is this song is the perfect closure for.
