Paramore Conspiracy Theories

Who Is Paramore?

Not sure when this happened, but it did, and man is it cryptic!

Hey guys, Harley here, and I never usually do this stuff on the fly, but I think we need to talk about this. 

Paramore have had the same bio for almost a year (since Jeremy left), "We are paramore," but no more friends! I'm actually not sure when exactly this happened, but I feel like it could've been right after this picture was released:

The picture which pretty much announced the end of the recording of Paramore's fifth, and possibly final, record. 

Let's remember that when S/T was coming out paramore were constantly saying that they were introducing us to a better version of Paramore, the same people but just with some more life experience to share. They still knew who they were, they just finally got the chance to show off their whole personalities. 

This bio change suggests a few things to me:

A Change In Grenre:

Yes, us Parawhores have been expecting it for some time now. With Paramore sharing little to no information about this album (albeit some cryptic pictures), most of us speculated yet another change in style. We have seen various tweets involving funk and new wave bands, and I think we can draw that those will be big influences on the sound of this album. Also they're working with JMJ, one of the most experimental producers and musicians to ever play. Changing the bio to "who is Paramore?" Is a pretty drastic turn, so I'm not expecting a subtle genre change, I'm talking a full on transformation of Paramore. 

Zac's Return

Now let's say this bio has nothing to do with music, let's say they mean it literally. Who is Paramore? We would answer that it's Hayley and Taylor, but what if that's about to change? Changing the bio they've had since Jeremy's departure, very close to the anniversary of the departure, could mean that a line up change is in store. We've all speculated on when Zac's return would be announced, his birthday back in June a couple days after they started working together was a big candidate, but what if the anniversary of Jeremy's departure is the real reveal date?

The Beginning Of The End

Unfortunate, but we know it's coming. Paramore have been a band for almost 13 years now, which is much longer than a lot of bands in their genre that emerged around the same time they did lasted. What if they want to move on? Taylor York is a passionate musician, but his shyness towards the public eye is becoming increasingly noticeable. And Hayley Williams has said from day one that Paramore is her baby, but it looks like Paramore isn't an only child anymore with her recent launch of GoodDyeYoung, and recent marriage. Perhaps they would like to move on to different projects, or settle down. Maybe this "who is Paramore?" business, is the beginning of the end, maybe their trying to to tell us that they don't know who they are anymore and they need to go find themselves. 

So those are my thoughts and theories. Tell me what you guys think about #whoisparamore? and what it could mean. I'll see you guys with a new conspiracy very soon. Thanks for reading, love you guys! - H
