Paramore Conspiracy Theories (Book 2)

Predictions For Paramore's 6th Album

More Paramore content in this book!

Hey guys so I thought it would be fun to make some predictions on what I think could possibly happen in this upcoming 6th era of Paramore. I kind of did this, predicting some things for AL, and I got a couple things right for better or for worse. Eras last 2 years now but I'm only gonna be predicting into mid 2019 - early 2020.  I'm gonna separate this into thing I think have a chance of happening and things I think will definitely happen.

Possibilities:

Paramore Will Begin Writing/Recording For Album Number 6 In Summer 2019 -

Hayley has said they haven't been writing while they're touring because they're just focused on enjoying touring right now, so I predict after Art + Friends (the last official AL tour stop) happens they'll begin working on new material in late 2018 working through early 2019 so they can begin recording the album around May/June of 2019. 

Paramore Will Play The Warped Tour 25th Anniversary Celebration -

In addition to announcing that the Vans Warped Tour would end touring in 2018, founder Kevin Lyman also confirmed that there would be one last blow out celebration for the 25th anniversary of the tour in 2019. There haven't been many details released yet on the celebration, most likely it will happen sometime in summer like the Warped Tour usually did. What has been speculated and what I predict will happen will be that Paramore will headline the festival. 2019 is the 25th anniversary of Warped tour, and the 15th anniversary of Paramore. What better way to celebrate than with the festival that started your career and is also celebrating an anniversary? It all seems too perfect not to happen.

Continuing Aesthetic -

Paramore seem pretty committed to actaully caring about aesthetics these days, which makes me cringe but to each their own. I think they'll continue with the colorful psychedelic aesthetic, but I think it it'll be a little more toned down this time around.

Evolving Sound -

As for where I think the sound is going to go, I don't think they'll stick to the 80s, it is a fleeting trend after all, but I do think they'll stick with pop. I don't think they'll just go back to making "old Paramore" music. I think they'll stick with pop and electronic and I think it'll be in a more laid back, maybe even whimsical, way. I don't think it'll be as harsh as it was on AL. I'm just getting a feeling that it will be very Coldplay, like Mylo Xyloto (Mylo Xyloto is a Coldplay album) vibes. I don't know why I'm getting that feeling, but I am really strongly and honestly I wouldn't mind I think they would sound cool with that sound. 

Paramore Will Win Another Grammy -

Again, like with the Coldplay thing, I just have this really strong feeling. The stars seem to be aligning in a lot of ways for Paramore in 2019, and I think they'll finally win their second grammy in this upcoming era. 

Things I Think Will Definitely Happen:

Hayley Will Start Dyeing Her Hair Again -

Apparently the only reason Hayley hasn't been dyeing her hair is because Brian challenged her to go a whole era without dyeing her hair. She's expressed the desire to get back to dyeing it, so think we'll definitely see Hayley's colorful hair again soon. 

Paramore Will Not Work With Justin Meldal-Johnsen A 3rd Time -

Before anyone jumps to conclusions and says I hate JMJ, I don't. I think he's a talented bassist and he produced my favorite Paramore album after all (I ❤️ S/T). But I do think Paramore will want a fresh direction once again and I think they'll probably move on to a new producer they've never worked with before. I think they'll still be friends with JMJ though. 

Those are my predictions for the upcoming 6th era of Paramore, we'll see if any of them actually come true. Tell me your predictions for the next era in the comments down below, and thanks for reading. - H
