Paramore is an EMO band?

I've always considered the term "Pop-Punk" somewhat oxymorinic.

 

The Punk movement of the late 70s/early 80s was very anti-establishment, whereas Pop music is almost the complete reverse of this, helping to fuel conventional social "norms", rather than provide opposition.

 

I'd have to categorise Paramore as just Pop.

Emo's been dead for years. It originated from the hardcore punk genre of the mid 80's and was used to tag bands who wanted to escape the traditional standard of hardcore and the violent scene at the time. and it pretty much stayed in the 80's, barring possibly early 90's.

 

I actually should just keep this on copy/paste. I swear I have to post this every month.
