because it's honestly one of their best songs.
This one has to be "Misery Business."

- ♪ ...just feels so good ♪
- Ohh. That does feel so good.
I do like the intricate stuff that they're doing
and the new sounds that they're dabbling with,
but there's just something about just rock.
- YES! THAT WAS PARAMORE!
I love seeing the progression they've gone through musically,
how you can still hear it's Paramore through all of it.
They've grown up from being 16 in this band
to now in their late 20s.
Like, just seeing them grow up, I think, is also really cool.
- My day was shitty, like, all day.
I had to talk to an insurance company.
I had to drive four hours in traffic.
But that means nothing compared to the last 10 minutes of my day.
I'm too hyped now. I should've wore a Paramore shirt.
- (FBE) I don't have to tell you this, but this is Paramore.
- Yes, this is Paramore.
I've seen them 36 times live.
I mean, I've been on two of their cruises.
I've flown across the country for them.
- (FBE) They have been one of the most successful bands
for years now, selling millions of albums
since they formed back in 2004. - And they deserve it. (chuckles)
- (FBE) What do you think it is about them and their sound
that has made them so successful for so long?
- Their sound is very adaptable.
They have this ability to make it into something different
and make it into their own.
- They're one of the only female-led rock bands
that is in modern times.
When I was in a band and I had a female lead singer,
that was the thing we were trying to escape,
was the Paramore sound.
- Paramore has some amazing, deep lyrics.
I mean, like, I have one of them tattooed on my wrist.
And it says, "Somewhere weakness is our strength."
It's from the song "Let the Flames Begin."
Their lyrics are just like-- they're a very relatable band.
Like, they don't write about things that people can't relate to.
They write about love and friendship and heartbreak
and having difficulty with friends and losing friends.
And that's all super relatable.
- (FBE) Paramore is known for having super-dedicated fans
who've been following them intensely for years...
- I'm one of 'em.
- (chuckling) Yes. I can attest to that so much.
- (FBE) ...many of whom call themselves "Parawhores."
- Oh my god. I've seen it on Twitter.
Been listening to them for so long.
And she was also very young when she started,
so she also grew up.
You connect to music or musicians to a level
that they become part of you,
and you feel like they're expressing a part of your life,
and you're just shouting it out loud.
- Don't want my 14-year-old to call herself (chuckles)
that type of fan. I'm not gonna say it.
- People would say that around, like, 2006, 2007.
Like, that was a term people used then.
But then people were like, "Maybe we shouldn't, you know,
call ourselves that."
So now most people just say it's the "Parafamily."
- (FBE) Why do you think this band has such an intense fan base?
- They're so, like, interactive and nice to their fans.
That shows that, okay, just 'cause you're famous
doesn't mean that you're not a person that shows compassion
and cares about other people.
- If they were young,
you could be growing up with that band you go.
There's also always that hunger to find someone
before they're huge.
- You earn your title, like, with, A, longevity, B, passion,
C, craft, you know, D, like, it's-- the lyrics are meaningful.
- Sure, they're one of the biggest bands in the world.
But they're so cool. They're down to earth.
And the stuff that Hayley Williams does on stage--
she brings a fan on stage to sing "Misery Business" every show,
every time. I want to be that person SO BAD.
I would kill it, Hayley! I would kill it!!
- Their music, it just... (long, heavy sigh)
Oh. Oh. I want to start crying.
I feel like whenever I am at their shows,
like, I feel like I'm home.
I met them for the first time in 2009.
And ever since then, they've known who I am.
I mean, one time-- it had been two years since I seen them--
I changed my hair. And Taylor was like,
"You change your hair! I really like it!"
Like, what band notices their fans that change their hair?!
- (FBE) And finally, the band
just released their fifth studio album, After Laughter,
where they have changed their sound quite a bit
from their earlier work.
And as what happens with longtime bands,
some fans aren't easy about the change.
So why even when bands have dedicated fans such as Paramore
does a change in sound tend to cause a divide in the fan base?
- I mean, it kinda scares them,
because change always does one of those things
where it's like you're either changing for the better
or you're changing for the worse.
- I was a little bit taken aback thinking,
"Aw, but where is that music that I loved so much?"
But I feel like if I listen to this more and more,
it's gonna become one of my favorites again.
- You don't see people sounding like AC/DC right now,
because it's just not gonna be popular.
You gotta just stay with the trend.
And I completely understand what Paramore's doing.
And I think people should give them a chance.
- When bands do the change, you're gonna get slap-back from it.
Bands have to evolve.
If they don't evolve, then they're stuck in the same thing.
And you can get over that so easily.
- They still have the lyrics. It's still Paramore.
It should be, "I support you. You're the artist.
I support what you do, just as long as you're happy."
- If you really were to go through all their discography,
you could tell that they were slowly progressing to this point.
I've seen a lot of people be like,
they were hesitant about the album at first.
But now, since they've started listening to it,
they've really gotten into it. But yeah, I don't know.
I just don't understand. Like, bands have to change.
Like, I don't want to hear the same music
again and again and again.
Like, I love this album just as much
as I love all their other albums.
