Paamore will be featured in the upcoming Now That's What I Call Music CD, the 27th edition. The chosen song in Crushcrushcrush. Please add this to the cd list.
With the new paramore.net there's plenty of info on the individual members so I think it's about time they get their own Wiki pages.
Hayley said it best on TRL last year: "I would say, um, it's not so much about me, you know. This is a band and... I like Gwen Stefani as part of No Doubt." True, it's not up to the artist to determine their worth, but I really don't see how she's noteworthy outside of Paramore. Let her do a solo album or design a clothing line... 64.229.197.66 ( talk) 05:21, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
JASON CLARKE WAS A FORMER BASS PLAYER FOR THE BAND..HE WAS THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH THE NAME (ITS HIS MOMS MAIDEN NAME) HE SHOULD DEFIANTLY BE LISTED UNDER FORMER BAND MEMBERS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amy55 ( talk • contribs) 00:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC) as far as anyone's seen, their has been no mention of him...the members of paramore have said that it was their friends moms maiden name..but never said he was actually in the band.therefore he should not be included in the former band members because you are not a reliable source, and their is not a reliable source out there that says JASON CLARK was the bands origional bassist...infact all the interviews I've heard and articles I've read they've said Jeremy was the original bassist but i really dont know what im talkin about you really shouldnt even be listenin to me im a badddd girl and i really dont even who jason clarke sry hahahahah . —Preceding unsigned comment added by YourGuardianAngel2 ( talk • contribs) 05:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, That's right, first of all, there are no reliable sources, secondly the band doesn't classify themeselves as "emo" finally, their style is obviously not emo, they are uncomparable to other emo bands. Lonerguy_87 ( talk)
Yeah. There were Web sites like Howtobeemo.com or whatever, and I totally researched the term "emo" before I knew what it was. The sites would tell you what to wear, too, but I shopped at Goodwill, and I didn't really care about fashion. I still wear this maroon hoodie I got at Goodwill in Nashville. It cost twenty-five cents!
Just because she talks about emo, DOES NOT mean she is admitting the band is emo, wtf -- Casket56 ( talk) 06:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
It's quite obvious that they are more punk than emo. Even if they aren't punk, they are still moreso punk than emo. Neither are they a Christian band. They are all Christian, but they stated they are not a Christian band.

Paramore is not emo at all, just because there are like 3 sources claiming that paramore is emo does not in any way make the band emo because they do NOT sound emo at all and this is just one of the most ridiculous claims I have ever seen on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamdpatterson ( talk • contribs) 22:29, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Paramore is not an emo band it is not on my opinion it is the fact. if they are emo they wouldn't sound post-hardcore and if they are emo they do not sound like one see what does emo sound like. don't get me started on panic! at the disco THEY ARE NEVER EMO use your brain please. they are not emo and never will. emo bands like alesana and boys like girls are ok to be called emo since on their myspace they put themselves as emo. use your brain people i beg of you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan Zeron ( talk • contribs) 22:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
emo is a derogative term in some aspects, and labelling a good hearted christian band like that, is offensive and gives the band a bad name. there are interviews where Paramore THEMSELVES deny the Emo tag Steve37 ( talk) 16:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Can I just say something I am a big fan of Paramore and I think some of their songs such as Emergency have emo influences! Not all of their songs are emo but emo rock is completely different from the stereotypical self harming depressed teen, emo rock songs are to do with depressing issues and sung in an emotional way!

Some of the bands i listen to are christians and i think its silly when people call christian member bands emo since one is meant to be negative and the other positive however underoaths chasing safety album is ever so emoish. SDRE and minerals singers were christians, and those bands were considered REAL EMO ---- signed by loveyourfaith
paramore are a pop band
It's the BAND that is the most reliable. if you go to their myspace it doesn't say emo anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan Zeron ( talk • contribs) 01:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Howard the Duck has a fair point though obviously as far as common sense goes it is unlikely for journalists to write "" band isn't a "" genre because that would be unprofessional. Even if it 'was' possible to find these sources, I don't know what would count as "reliable sources" as I doubt me or anyone else just writing 20 different articles or so saying "Paramore more are not emo" would count; so at least seen as the majority disagree, couldn't we just put 'disputed' next to 'emo' anyway at least for arguments sake? Also if anyone here doesn't like something, it is obviously you Neon white who seem so determined to keep the "emo" genre on their Wiki page probably because you don't personally like them and wish to give them a bad name especially seen as from your bad arguments, other than the two sources which seem to be your only [reasonable] point of argument.

EINXIII ( talk) 16:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
What I don't think the Paramore fans realize is that emo is *not a bad thing.* We're not insulting them by saying that they're emo or trying to bring them down. It's just an observation on the band, who do have some emoesque tendencies. Just *chill.* 68.116.148.117 ( talk) 19:32, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, you are all right. In the real world, they are not emo by how the genre has been defined, they just do not meet the criteria for emo in the real world. However, by the policy that wikipedia uses they do meet the criteria for emo. Policy states that if it has been stated by a verifiable source, then it is true by wikipedia standereds. They have been called emo by verifiable sources and thus emo stays. It is in no way, shape, or form definitive by real world standereds, as wikipedia does not state what is true or what is fact, only what is properly sourced, be it true or false. Many times (like now) what is stated is false, but it is still properly sourced and thus must stay. BTW, why do some of you seem to take emo as an insult? 13Tawaazun14 ( talk) 00:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, part of what you said is true. The media is part of the real world and they do define genres. What people often fail to mention is that after the media defines a genre, they don't use their own definitions to classify bands. They usually classify the bands based on trivial things like clothing (they often get this wrong too) or when that band reached it's popularity peak in with when a genre reach its popularity peak, the lyrics of one song while ignoring the majority of their songs (the first one and the third one are the biggies here). All media are guilty of this including MTV and NME. Therefore anyone smart shouldn't really care about what the majority of people think (or the minority of people for that matter) because all of them use a media outlet to tell them what a bands genre is, despite reasons stated above. Me? I take a look at how a genre has been defined and then I look at how a band plays a majority (being what they have done so far) of their music. If they don't match overall, it's back to the drawing board. BTW, most people don't watch MTV for music anymore, as now they spend 95% of their time making (poorly done) reality tv shows and whatnot, hardly spending any time on music at all anymore. As far as most people thinking Paramore is emo based on the media, doubt it, alot. The only way to confirm somthing like that is to ask people who have listend to a good amout of their songs, not fans, just people who listen to music and have happend to have heard a good number of their songs, about what they think. Second reason is because most media don't define said band as emo (I think...). Of course I wouldn't use any means stated above for wikipedia as it's OR (reasonably good OR but OR none the less). This arguement is irrelevent really, since we have sources that meet wiki standereds that also call them emo, so on wikipedia one of the genres they should be known as is emo (please note I have already stated this). 13Tawaazun14 ( talk) 00:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Paramore can only be described as a mix of pop, punk, and hard rock. Emo music has violent and or depressing lyrical content and an ethic that addresses sadness by the guitar riffs. Paramore is always bright and hopeful. Emo music is slower and is a form of hard rock without aggressive distortion or much feeling by instrument do illustrate the numbness of the state of depression. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.133.228 ( talk) 05:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Yep paramore do generally sing bright hopeful music but Emergency is a rather depressing song! I don't think they're complete emos but they do hav emo influences and I am a big fan of Paramore and I am not emo! -- Seán Travers ( talk) 18:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)Seán Travers, 19:00, 23 May 2008
Hello, you appear to be new here so here are some pointers/tips for you: sign your posts by typing four tildes(~), ALL stuff on wikipedia must be sourced by reliable and varifiable sources (yes, ALL sources MUST be BOTH), wikipedia does not include what is true only what is sourced (properly). Anyone who has listend to Paramore can tell you they aren't emo, however, we have proper sources that call them emo and thus, emo must included in the article. You see we can't use ourselves as sources. 13Tawaazun14 ( talk) 00:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
MCR is labelled by a lot of magazines as "emo", yet they're not listed as "emo". Since the band doesn't consider itself emo, shouldn't they not be classified as emo? Also, there are many sources that say Paramore isn't emo. Should the infobox be changed to "disputed subgenres"? I'm new here so don't flame me... -- Blaze7755 ( talk) 14:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I hate when people put "Emo" underneath Paramore's, (or any other upbeat, happy, non-emo band), genre. Now are we putting this because we are judging them based on appearance and stereotypes supported by a source which is an article written by the same type of ignorant person who doesn't listen to their music first? I seriously want someone to tell me in what way they are "Emo". NewYorkStyledCheesecakes ( talk) 16:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
NewYorkStyledCheesecakes ( talk) 06:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
So if I quote an interview of the band saying "We are not emo!", that wouldn't matter because someone else quoted an article of a guy who feels that they are emo? So the band has no say in what their genre is? If a verfiable source says that Paramore is a rap band, then they would be even though in my opinion as well as Paramore's opinion they feel that they are not. The bands' opinion is not relevant. Some guy who writes articles is. NewYorkStyledCheesecakes ( talk) 08:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Since article this is locked... An admin may want to add a note in the History section about Paramore losing the "Artist of the Year" Grammy to Amy Winehouse.
As a side note - I'm not a big fan of the rules surrounding the "Artist of the Year" Grammy. Feist has been in bands and been putting out albums since the early 90's, but yet since she is now solo she is "new". Also, Amy Winehouse released an album in 2003 and has been winning UK music awards since 2004.
I think the "New Artist" award should be reserved for truly NEW bands / performers to the scene. EINXIII ( talk) 20:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I read up the emo and pop punk genre in wikipedia. and emo is supposed to sound like jawbreaker, fugazi, rites of spring, etc. paramore dont sound anything close to that and their lyrics do not match the genre. pop punk; ramones, screeching weasel, the queers. even green day and blink-182 (before their s/t album) sound nothing like paramore. paramore sounds closest to the style of all american rejects, click five, etc. therefore, i am changing the genre to what i think is most appropriate, pop rock and power pop —Preceding unsigned comment added by Himynameisnick ( talk • contribs) 08:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Pop/rock outfit Paramore began humbly enough in Franklin, TN, when lead singer Hayley Williams met brothers Josh and Zac Farro (guitar and drums, respectively) after moving into town from Mississippi. The two had a young band that the burgeoning singer was soon asked to join. Opening Williams' 13-year-old eyes to the likes of U2, the Cure, Sparta, and Failure, the teenagers began performing together under the name Paramore following the addition of Jason Bynum on rhythm guitar and Jeremy Davis on bass. Local hangouts and a school talent show helped the young bandmembers hone their chops before at last moving up to gigs at area rock clubs. The quintet's sweet melodies and earnest charisma eventually caught the attention of Florida's Fueled by Ramen label, which signed the band in April 2005. Working with James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Underoath) and Mike Green (Yellowcard, the Black Maria), Paramore recorded their full-length debut, All We Know Is Falling. The album was issued in late July 2005, and Paramore jumped quickly into their van to support it. In addition to a spot on New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival and multiple Warped Tour dates, they also played shows with bands like Simple Plan and Straylight Run. Hunter Lamb replaced Bynum on guitar in December 2005; time was spent in the early part of the next year on dates with Halifax, So They Say, and Bayside. Similar to many of their musical peers, summer 2006 was then passed back on the annual Warped Tour circuit. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide
AllMusicGuide ain't a reliable source and Answers.com calls them rock. First it's many sources that sais the album is alternative rock and many that sais them are Punk pop. Can't we just add alternative rock and Punk pop. Their are sources for both the genres. Lets add alternative rock and i wont take away Punk pop okay.

No they are NOT. The members have rock and have their own sense of style, it doesnt make them alternative rock. Alternative rock means "instead of rock'N roll" its slower and quieter it includes muse, travis, sdre, jimmy eat world, fugazi, snow patrol, downhere and so on. These are more of a straight up rock band than alternative rock. They have some like franklin, my heart, until tomorrow, sunday bloody sunday, when it rains. But really you cant call it to their albums and singles. By the way, we really should only use genres that are on the front wikipedia page to use for other paramore-related articles

As the title indicates, there appear to be inconsistencies between stated release dates in the chart of albums and EP's. For example, 'All We Know Is Falling' is listed in the 2005 row, yet is stated to be a 2006 release. Similarly, 'The Summer Tic EP' is listed in the 2006 row, yet is stated to have been released in June of 2005. Those are just a couple of examples.

Taylor revealed in a comment on his blog he posted on paramore's official live journal, that he is infact writting and recording with the band, and is an official member of the band now...

In an interview with Ultimate Guitar from 1/28/09, Josh Farro is asked: "Has Taylor become an official member of Paramore now? In many bios it still lists him as a touring/studio member." His response, "Well, he’s not yet a member – but he will be soon! We’re just kind of waiting for the 3rd record, which is not too far."

I have been writing music for a long time and these "demos" are very well produced, they sound like a finished product and not like a demo.

Fanboys/fangirls have been removing emo for moths now. I didn't see a discussion where consensus was to remove the genre so I thought I'd ask. I didn't realize it had just been removed or I would have reverted. In the past there were 3 or 4 sources for emo, one of them being a review from 'New York Times'. Finding sources for emo isn't the issue, the issue is all the IP's/editors who come on here and say "I DONT CARE WHAT THE SOURCES SAY THEY ARE NOT EMO, NOT EMO, NOT EMO, NOT EMO." Landon1980 ( talk) 19:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I never said you intended anything negative when you removed emo, you are the one that said they were not emo to you. My point was regardless of who removes emo, or any other type of POV pushing, and/or other unconstructive edits need to be reverted. Some very reliable sources have called this band emo, hence it stays. It doesn't matter what anyone "thinks" or "knows."

Howard the Duck has a fair point though obviously as far as common sense goes it is unlikely for journalists to write "" band isn't a "" genre because that would be unprofessional. Even if it 'was' possible to find these sources, I don't know what would count as "reliable sources" as I doubt me or anyone else just writing 20 different articles or so saying "Paramore more are not emo" would count; so at least seen as the majority disagree, couldn't we just put 'disputed' next to 'emo' anyway at least for arguments sake? Also if anyone here doesn't like something, it is obviously you Neon white who seem so determined to keep the "emo" genre on their Wiki page probably because you don't personally like them and wish to give them a bad name especially seen as from your bad arguments, other than the two sources which seem to be your only [reasonable] point of argument.

What I don't think the Paramore fans realize is that emo is *not a bad thing.* We're not insulting them by saying that they're emo or trying to bring them down. It's just an observation on the band, who do have some emoesque tendencies. Just *chill.* 68.116.148.117 ( talk) 19:32, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, you are all right. In the real world, they are not emo by how the genre has been defined, they just do not meet the criteria for emo in the real world. However, by the policy that wikipedia uses they do meet the criteria for emo. Policy states that if it has been stated by a verifiable source, then it is true by wikipedia standereds. They have been called emo by verifiable sources and thus emo stays. It is in no way, shape, or form definitive by real world standereds, as wikipedia does not state what is true or what is fact, only what is properly sourced, be it true or false. Many times (like now) what is stated is false, but it is still properly sourced and thus must stay. BTW, why do some of you seem to take emo as an insult? 13Tawaazun14 ( talk) 00:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, part of what you said is true. The media is part of the real world and they do define genres. What people often fail to mention is that after the media defines a genre, they don't use their own definitions to classify bands. They usually classify the bands based on trivial things like clothing (they often get this wrong too) or when that band reached it's popularity peak in with when a genre reach its popularity peak, the lyrics of one song while ignoring the majority of their songs (the first one and the third one are the biggies here). All media are guilty of this including MTV and NME. Therefore anyone smart shouldn't really care about what the majority of people think (or the minority of people for that matter) because all of them use a media outlet to tell them what a bands genre is, despite reasons stated above. Me? I take a look at how a genre has been defined and then I look at how a band plays a majority (being what they have done so far) of their music. If they don't match overall, it's back to the drawing board. BTW, most people don't watch MTV for music anymore, as now they spend 95% of their time making (poorly done) reality tv shows and whatnot, hardly spending any time on music at all anymore. As far as most people thinking Paramore is emo based on the media, doubt it, alot. The only way to confirm somthing like that is to ask people who have listend to a good amout of their songs, not fans, just people who listen to music and have happend to have heard a good number of their songs, about what they think. Second reason is because most media don't define said band as emo (I think...). Of course I wouldn't use any means stated above for wikipedia as it's OR (reasonably good OR but OR none the less). This arguement is irrelevent really, since we have sources that meet wiki standereds that also call them emo, so on wikipedia one of the genres they should be known as is emo (please note I have already stated this). 13Tawaazun14 ( talk) 00:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Paramore can only be described as a mix of pop, punk, and hard rock. Emo music has violent and or depressing lyrical content and an ethic that addresses sadness by the guitar riffs. Paramore is always bright and hopeful. Emo music is slower and is a form of hard rock without aggressive distortion or much feeling by instrument do illustrate the numbness of the state of depression. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.133.228 ( talk) 05:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello, you appear to be new here so here are some pointers/tips for you: sign your posts by typing four tildes(~), ALL stuff on wikipedia must be sourced by reliable and varifiable sources (yes, ALL sources MUST be BOTH), wikipedia does not include what is true only what is sourced (properly). Anyone who has listend to Paramore can tell you they aren't emo, however, we have proper sources that call them emo and thus, emo must included in the article. You see we can't use ourselves as sources. 13Tawaazun14 ( talk) 00:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
MCR is labelled by a lot of magazines as "emo", yet they're not listed as "emo". Since the band doesn't consider itself emo, shouldn't they not be classified as emo? Also, there are many sources that say Paramore isn't emo. Should the infobox be changed to "disputed subgenres"? I'm new here so don't flame me... -- Blaze7755 ( talk) 14:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I hate when people put "Emo" underneath Paramore's, (or any other upbeat, happy, non-emo band), genre. Now are we putting this because we are judging them based on appearance and stereotypes supported by a source which is an article written by the same type of ignorant person who doesn't listen to their music first? I seriously want someone to tell me in what way they are "Emo". NewYorkStyledCheesecakes ( talk) 16:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
NewYorkStyledCheesecakes ( talk) 06:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
So if I quote an interview of the band saying "We are not emo!", that wouldn't matter because someone else quoted an article of a guy who feels that they are emo? So the band has no say in what their genre is? If a verfiable source says that Paramore is a rap band, then they would be even though in my opinion as well as Paramore's opinion they feel that they are not. The bands' opinion is not relevant. Some guy who writes articles is. NewYorkStyledCheesecakes ( talk) 08:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Since article this is locked... An admin may want to add a note in the History section about Paramore losing the "Artist of the Year" Grammy to Amy Winehouse.
As a side note - I'm not a big fan of the rules surrounding the "Artist of the Year" Grammy. Feist has been in bands and been putting out albums since the early 90's, but yet since she is now solo she is "new". Also, Amy Winehouse released an album in 2003 and has been winning UK music awards since 2004.
I think the "New Artist" award should be reserved for truly NEW bands / performers to the scene. EINXIII ( talk) 20:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I read up the emo and pop punk genre in wikipedia. and emo is supposed to sound like jawbreaker, fugazi, rites of spring, etc. paramore dont sound anything close to that and their lyrics do not match the genre. pop punk; ramones, screeching weasel, the queers. even green day and blink-182 (before their s/t album) sound nothing like paramore. paramore sounds closest to the style of all american rejects, click five, etc. therefore, i am changing the genre to what i think is most appropriate, pop rock and power pop —Preceding unsigned comment added by Himynameisnick ( talk • contribs) 08:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Pop/rock outfit Paramore began humbly enough in Franklin, TN, when lead singer Hayley Williams met brothers Josh and Zac Farro (guitar and drums, respectively) after moving into town from Mississippi. The two had a young band that the burgeoning singer was soon asked to join. Opening Williams' 13-year-old eyes to the likes of U2, the Cure, Sparta, and Failure, the teenagers began performing together under the name Paramore following the addition of Jason Bynum on rhythm guitar and Jeremy Davis on bass. Local hangouts and a school talent show helped the young bandmembers hone their chops before at last moving up to gigs at area rock clubs. The quintet's sweet melodies and earnest charisma eventually caught the attention of Florida's Fueled by Ramen label, which signed the band in April 2005. Working with James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Underoath) and Mike Green (Yellowcard, the Black Maria), Paramore recorded their full-length debut, All We Know Is Falling. The album was issued in late July 2005, and Paramore jumped quickly into their van to support it. In addition to a spot on New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival and multiple Warped Tour dates, they also played shows with bands like Simple Plan and Straylight Run. Hunter Lamb replaced Bynum on guitar in December 2005; time was spent in the early part of the next year on dates with Halifax, So They Say, and Bayside. Similar to many of their musical peers, summer 2006 was then passed back on the annual Warped Tour circuit. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide
AllMusicGuide ain't a reliable source and Answers.com calls them rock. First it's many sources that sais the album is alternative rock and many that sais them are Punk pop. Can't we just add alternative rock and Punk pop. Their are sources for both the genres. Lets add alternative rock and i wont take away Punk pop okay.

No they are NOT. The members have rock and have their own sense of style, it doesnt make them alternative rock. Alternative rock means "instead of rock'N roll" its slower and quieter it includes muse, travis, sdre, jimmy eat world, fugazi, snow patrol, downhere and so on. These are more of a straight up rock band than alternative rock. They have some like franklin, my heart, until tomorrow, sunday bloody sunday, when it rains. But really you cant call it to their albums and singles. By the way, we really should only use genres that are on the front wikipedia page to use for other paramore-related articles

As the title indicates, there appear to be inconsistencies between stated release dates in the chart of albums and EP's. For example, 'All We Know Is Falling' is listed in the 2005 row, yet is stated to be a 2006 release. Similarly, 'The Summer Tic EP' is listed in the 2006 row, yet is stated to have been released in June of 2005. Those are just a couple of examples.

Fanboys/fangirls have been removing emo for moths now. I didn't see a discussion where consensus was to remove the genre so I thought I'd ask. I didn't realize it had just been removed or I would have reverted. In the past there were 3 or 4 sources for emo, one of them being a review from 'New York Times'. Finding sources for emo isn't the issue, the issue is all the IP's/editors who come on here and say "I DONT CARE WHAT THE SOURCES SAY THEY ARE NOT EMO, NOT EMO, NOT EMO, NOT EMO."

I never said you intended anything negative when you removed emo, you are the one that said they were not emo to you. My point was regardless of who removes emo, or any other type of POV pushing, and/or other unconstructive edits need to be reverted. Some very reliable sources have called this band emo, hence it stays. It doesn't matter what anyone "thinks" or "knows." Just help us watch the article, because trust me there will be fanboys disputing emo in the near future. Landon1980 ( talk) 00:27, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

According to All Music Guide, and its Emo pop history, Paramore are one of the bands that popularized emo-pop music... here's the link ===> Paramore emo-pop Also click in Emo-Pop in the part of genres of Paramore, and you will see a review/history of that genre -- Gas3191 ( talk) 14:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I seriously think we need to protect (not semi-protect) this article. The info here is good, but people keep vandalizing it. I just undid some really badly coded vandalism, so yeah. Sylfi ( talk) 18:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I would like this page to be unlocked to edit. Sure, it will stop vandalism, but somebody vandalized it and now there's no way I can erase it. So can you please unlock it? ( talk) 19:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I did register for an account. It created my user and logged me in, but it still will not let me edit. Why? E-Pro 264 ( talk) 20:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
This is getting ridiculous, you claim there is something wrong with one citation yet you remove the genre altogether??? Your edits are borderline vandalism. There are tons of reliable sources for emo, Rolling Stone, NME, Ney York Times, and many more meet WP:RS and definitively call them an emo band. If you have a problem with one of the sources find a different one, but emo stays, end of story. Landon1980 ( talk) 10:09, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
OK, so all three sources are invalid? "It was invalid because there was no where on the page of the genre of emo being discussed" Care to elaborate? I'm not sure what you are talking about, those sources definitively call them an emo band. Have you not looked at them? Landon1980 ( talk) 10:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Look mate, im not going to argue or get into a revert war, If you look through the talk page you will find valid points, alot of people discussing they are not emo, and also if you listen to the music, jsut leave the genres as they are, I dont care whether it says emo or not its not worth getting frustrated over. Lets just forget about it :D -- Casket56 ( talk) 12:09, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

As the band use the Refused lyric 'We want the airwaves back' from the song Liberation Frequency in their song 'Born For This', it only seems right to me that this be included in their influences.

In the album leaf, the band credits the song 'Liberation Frequency', but using a lyric and being influenced by a band don't necessarily correlate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Braceface2011 ( talk • contribs) 12:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
why are they defined as a rock band when none of the genres are rock? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.236.4 ( talk) 20:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
As of today, Jeremy Davis is now 24 years old. That needs to be editted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.49.244 ( talk) 11:28, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Anybody going to enter that "Misery Business" is featured in Volition's Saints Row 2 on my behalf?
