Just some things I've always wondered/ been curious about with Paramore. The most recent of these that I'm sharing is going to be about Jeremy "leaving", so I'm breaking my promise a bit. Some of these are my own, some I've found online, a...
Hey guys, so I woke up this morning to my Twitter freaking out because Hayley and JMJ were tweeting back and forth, and I'll let you have a look at some of those tweets:

So, this whole thing started after JMJ said he was listening to pressings of an album he finished a few months ago, and of course someone thought maybe he was talking about Paramore, but JMJ said that he was not talking about Paramore he was talking about a different band. Even though he said it wasn't about Paramore, that didn't stop Paramore fans from freaking out for no reason. Eventually, tjough, JMJ made an official statement saying he was not talking about Paramore, of course he tagged the band and that's where Hayley got involved. Hayley and JMJ began to go back and forth with what JMJ called their 'inside jokes', which was well and fine until Hayley tweeted '#pmore2019', which effectively broke the Paramore universe. People began asking and speculating what #pmore2019 meant, one fan tweet in particular hinted that it could mean a reunion with the Farros. Nothing has been confirmed, except that (Jan. 1st) 2019 will be Paramore's 15 year band anniversary (duh). I myself was freaking out and speculating until I saw JMJ tweet '#pmore2038', which would be Paramore's 34th anniversary, which usually isn't a significant anniversary people celebrate, and one I really honestly don't think Paramore will make it to (sorry not sorry).
So, in my opinion I don't think #pmore2019 or #pmore2038 really mean anything right now, I think they are just jokes like JMJ said. I've been known to say that I think Paramore will make it to 15 years as a band and that might be it, as they've obviously been struggling for a while now as a band (which we've gotten to see publicly this year). I think in 2019 they'll be rounding down the album cycle for this next album, and whether or not they'll stay together and make another remains to be seen. What I was speculating, and what I hoped #pmore2019 would mean was that they were getting back to having two years between albums like they did with their first three albums. Paramore used to put out a record and tour for about a year and a half, and then they would begin writing and recording a new album and release it two years after their previous effort: AWKIF (2005), Riot! (2007), BNE (2009). The problem with this was that when they toured for such a short time they didn't get to go a lot of places, but Paramore albums did come out a lot faster than they do these days. It was four years after BNE, double the usual time, for Paramore to come out, and fans were on edge. And now, it's almost four years after Paramore that this album is being released (I dont even think I have to talk about how fans are feeling right now). Although it would be disappointing to not have as many chances to see them live, I think it would be worth it to get a new album every two years again (in my opinion).
Like I said, I don't think either of these hashtags mean anything right now, we'll have to wait for Paramore's 15th anniversary (2019) to see if anything does happen. That said, thank you guys so much for reading, I'll be back with a new post soon, love you guys. - H
