Emo isn't just making a comeback — it's bigger now than it's ever been. And the return of Paramore, one of the most iconic emo bands of the past 20 years, is only part of the reason. But the Nashville trio — singer Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro — aren't using This Is Why, their first album in five years, to cash in on the sudden mainstream popularity of the genre they helped pioneer in the early aughts with hits like "Misery Business" and "Decode." In fact, this record can't be described as emo, punk, or pop-punk at all. And that's entirely by design.
