* AttemptedHomewrecker: In the music video for "Misery Business," when the Alpha Bitch sees a couple happily talking in the hallway, she shoves the girl out of the way and plants a Forceful Kiss on the boy.

** ''Paramore'' removes the pop punk sound almost entirely in favor of a more straightforward pop rock sound, with elements of power pop, new wave, FolkRock and even PostRock, among others.

** ''Riot'' largely removed the post-hardcore influences in favor of a more alternative rock and PowerPop-oriented sound while still being emo pop punk.

A year after the release of their third album, ''brand new eyes'', the Farros quit the band, and the future of the group was in doubt until Williams announced that she, York (now playing all the guitars and drums in the studio), and Davis would continue as a trio, augmented with touring members. Their next album ''[[SelfTitledAlbum Paramore]]'' -- so titled since it felt like a re-introduction of the band to the world and themselves -- was released in 2013 and became their biggest critical and commercial success, spawning hit singles like "Still Into You" and "Ain't It Fun".

The band underwent further internal turmoil in 2015 that culminated in Davis' second departure. In 2016, Paramore returned to the studio to develop new material with their original drummer Zac Farro; he returned to the main line-up as their full-time drummer the following year in time for the release of their fifth album, ''After Laughter''.

Williams, the Farros, and Davis formed in the band in 2004 when they were teenagers (in Zac's case, a ''preteen'') living in Franklin, UsefulNotes/{{Tennessee}} (just south of UsefulNotes/{{Nashville}}). Davis left for five months just after the band was signed to Creator/FueledByRamen, and his departure formed the basis for much of their first album ''All We Know Is Falling'', including the cover artwork and the album title. While none of the album's three singles charted upon release, a constant stream of touring, including the renowned Warped Tour, brought the band a devoted fanbase. York, a high school friend, joined around the release of their second album ''Riot!'' in 2007. This album propelled them to mainstream success through numerous charting singles, most prominently lead single "Misery Business", and helped make Williams a prominent face of late 2000s American pop rock.

** She spent some of the later tours of the ''After Laughter'' era, she performed ''without pants''. She wore see-through tights and short shorts combined with oversized shirts/jackets, thus looking like she wasn't wearing anything below the waist some nights.

* RevolvingDoorBand: Hayley Williams is the only member of Paramore who is actually signed to a record contract, which has contributed to tremendous turnover. The band didn't release two albums with the same official lineup until
2023 with ''This Is Why'', six full albums and nearly two decades into the band's life.

* RevolvingDoorBand: Hayley Williams is the only member of Paramore who is actually signed to a record contract, which has contributed to tremendous turnover. As of the 2022, the band ''still'' had yet to release two albums with the same official lineup. That ended in 2023 with ''This Is Why''... which only came after a six-year break between releases.

In 2020, Hayley released her first solo album ''Petals for Armor'', a pop album with [[CreatorBreakdown serious and personal lyrics centered around her struggles with depression and her divorce]]. In 2021, she followed it up with a companion album called ''Flowers For Vases'', which continues the self-reflective lyrics of the previous album but goes for a more folk-influenced music style.

** Hayley's two solo albums (''Petals For Armor'' and ''Flowers For Vases'') are VERY dark compared to her work with Paramore. Like ''After Laughter'', they were heavily inspired by the [[{{Pun}} hard times]] she faced over the mid-2010s, due to [[CreatorBreakdown her struggles with depression, her divorce, etc.]] She even uses [[PrecisionFStrike full-blown F-bombs]] in a couple songs.
** ''This Is Why'' isn't quite AS dark as ''After Laughter'' but still shows more cynicism and world weariness than the band's first four albums.

* FantasyForbiddingFather: "Brick By Boring Brick" is from the perspective of one of these (or at least a concern-troll friend), portrayed ''positively''. The speaker insists that the subject's romantic views and love of fairy tales are keeping her deluded and prone to being taken advantage of.

* GuinnessEpisode: The "Ain't It Fun" music video breaks 10 world records in it:

** Don't be fooled by the happy beat of "Hard Times"; it's about someone who is teetering on the edge of a full breakdown. In fact, most of ''After Laughter'' is this, as it's both about Hayley's strained relationships with her previous bandmates as well as having many songs about dangerous or broken relationships[[note]]largely inspired by [[CreatorBreakdown Hayley's troubled marriage to Chad]][[/note]].

* PopPunk: Gradually became one of pop-punk's preeminent bands in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

* VocalEvolution: Hayley, in the band's pop punk days, had a harsher and even slightly British-sounding vocal style (no doubt, paying hommage to bands like Music/{{Ramones}}). She almost completely dropped it on the band's self-titled album in favor of a more natural and melodic (but still harsh in parts) vocal style.
