Extending the genre...

Paramore mainly have links with pop/punk music, is that's what I'm focusing my research on, however, they also have links with ‘emo’ and alternative rock. Taking this into account, I thought it would be a good idea to see what other bands they are associated with and the digipak of some rock bands to make comparisons.
Some of the other bands that Paramore have link with are:
  • Linkin Park
  • Muse
  • My Chemical Romance
  • 30 Seconds To Mars
  • The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
  • Papa Roach
  • Evanescence

But again, the alternative rock genre is also very varied in its sound. Looking at the album covers for some of these bands, it is clear that they are a lot different to those of the pop/punk genre. The main thing being that they are a lot darker in content and less bright colours are used. Pop/punk have a lot of bright colours. but as seen with the Linkin Park Album and Evanscence album cover, they use much darker colours.














As seen in the two album covers above (Thirty Seconds To Mars and Papa Roach) animals faces of a lion and a tiger can be seen. This could symbolise the fact that they think they are fierce.
