penned a heartfelt letter to those who “punk music actually represents” — namely, young women, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color.
Williams posted the handwritten note to her Instagram stories on Sunday, beginning with a reflection on growing up in the punk scene. “We fell in love with this subset of post-punk and hardcore likely because nothing else moved us,” she wrote. “We didn’t fit in other places.” And yet, while “alternative” scenes of all stripes purport to be a home for outsiders, it’s also true that they’re frequently rife with bigotry. Williams acknowledged that“What I did know was that for every ‘Take off your top!’ or snarky punkzine review … For every dramatic headline pinned on my name, or any season of self-doubt … No one was going to define Paramore but Paramore,” the singer said.
“Tonight, while we’re running through the lengths of our discography and I’m refraining from singing the word ‘whore,’ know that, inside, I’m celebrating the fact that, as a scene, we’ve come a long way,” Williams said, while acknowledging that there’s “much further to go.”
