liar! there are LOADS of amazing bands. even too many. too much music to listen to. (not specifically addressed to you, a general statement to everyone who complains about "contemporary" music...).
back on topic, still have to listen to this one, I'm not even sure it's out over here...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=wkv-pAYLrwQ This video will prove they are good role-models.

nicfit- I know, but most good music right now is kind of depressing, or steers that way.

get awkward is good but not as good as the first album.

what if paramore wrote the violent songs? would they get censored?

I actually like their new album more than the previous one.

how old are they now?
I like that video, the production sounds a bit...silky :D?

yeah, i guess it's kinda uneven and the production is very smooth.

anyhoo, i can see people liking it as it has more standarized verse-chorus-verse songs and less spazzy explosions.

wow, universal must be lame, be your own pet is about as safe as punk rock gets. someone should send them some anal cunt records and see how they feel about the content on those motherfuckers.

yeah i just watched those videos and they really do suck.

Probably with more public outcry against the band. The more popular, the more parents expect them to be clean. They would also loss a lot of fans. Some girls can be such prudes.

I could see why some would not like them, but to say they are horrible is an overstatement.
