Musical style and influences

Paramore's music has generally been regarded as "emo", and "pop punk". Joshua Martin had written after an interview with Hayley Williams, "The band isn't just a short pop-punk girl with red hair and a spunky attitude. Their music is like them, it's aged differently. It's sped up, and slowed down. It's emo without being whiny, or bratty. Almost a very literal anti-Avril Lavigne." Alternative Press magazine had commented that the band was "young sounding", while consistently being "honest."<ref name="NN">{{cite interview| subject= Josh Farro| subject2= Jeremy Davis| interviewer= Charlotte Otter| title= Interview: Paramore | url= http://www.new-noise.net/features/interview-paramore_1965.%7C"Ignorance" |style="background: #ddffdd"|Won |- |Kerrang!
