Paramore are emo and mainstream and not that great. Emo is mainstream, that's why there's so many of them. Guns N' Roses were great once up on a time but I wouldn't say mainstream, nor emo, they're classed as classic rock now.

Paramore kind of is emo, and is very mainstream. Guns and Roses was mainstream! Everyone knows about them and they're not unusual so I'd say they're mainstream. I'd have to agree with your friend though there's such better music than mainstream rock music.

Very worried about where a band "fits"?

I was the same way once.

It's hard, but you and your friend should try to stop worrying about the classification the band fits into, and worry more about whether you like it or not. Music is a very subjective (personal) thing and just because someone else hates a band, that doesn't mean you should hate them too.

If you like it, that's cool. That's enough.

First of all Emo bands suck they're boring and Dull &nd second of all Mcfly isn't really the best band sorry.

paramore is kind of mainstream yet still somewhat respected. guns n roses is classic
