Okay I realised I was beginning to be serious on a rather light hearted thread myself. Thats why I quit. For some reason I just wanted to make myself understood. It seems like you were misunderstanding what I was trying get across. It perhaps sounded like I was trying to defend the band, which was not my intention. But whatever. I think people have to much against what Paramore stand for in the current musical climate to judge things as fairly as if they were unaware of the idea of Pop-Punk or Emo. You could argue that
what the band stand for (american teen social politics, superficiality) is unseperable from the the Art itself. I guess the bits I liked were mainly the petite and cute singer (im a guy sorry) and the melody. Particularly the guitar riff. Which was kinda cool. But that is reading to much into something that was designed for the kids to sing along to.
As for our beloved Ms Cat Power. She is one sexy goddess. Now her music I really like. Although Nico will always own my heart..
....Now who's being the Indie Bastard.
