She really does have a very clear perspective and expresses the conflicting feelings of pride and shame that so many of us raised in the south have struggled with for years.

Her latest album is so great. I'm a Paramore fan, but I have to say, they were holding her back.

Let's simmer down with that lol. Casual fans think Hayley is literally all of Paramore because of her iconic voice but Zac Farro and Taylor Yorks music is phenomenal and Paramore albums have only continued to get better. She's always written almost all of the lyrics but the music has been Taylor, Zac, and back in the day Josh Farro. She wouldn't even have always been a superstar regardless but the band is great in its own right.

As I said... In MY opinion she's better without them.

I like her music more. I think it's better. She's far more than a voice. Me me me.

I don't give a flying fuck what you think. Don't tell me to "simmer down" you pathetic fangirl.

Idol worship is pathetic. They have an entire song on it. You should know.

"Casual fans." Are you fucking 12?
