Paramore Music Group

For Hayley Williams, the vocalist of ascendant punk-pop quartet Paramore, sexuality is a tool that can be used for good and evil, and sometimes for both at once. On her band's breakthrough single "Misery Business," she wins back a crush who'd been lured away by a brazen hussy. "What's a whore? You're nothing more, that'll never change," she taunts. "I never meant to brag, but I've got him where I want him now." Finally, an emo hit in which the boy gets reduced to a sex trophy.
