Jul 26 Word of the Day
Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed
I got a call from X the other night. She had an extra ticket to a concert she bought for a friend, but they couldn’t make it so she called me to ask if I wanted to go because I am her Second String Friend.

Every once in a while, you stumble across a band that can actually pull off having a female lead singer and still rock out. This band is from Franklin, TN and trust me, they are going places. Hayley Williams (lead vocalist) has superb talent for her age. This is probably one of the most underrated bands out there...
Person 1: Hey! Have you heard of Paramore!?
Person 2: Yeah! Hayley Williams is so hot!! And skilled, of course.
Person 1: They are so underrated...

An ex-emo alternative pop band that consists of:
1. Hayley Williams (lead singer and occasional pianist)
2. Taylor York (guitarist)
3. Zac Farro (drummer)

There are many other members of the band, but they prefer the quiet rocker life and like to let Hayley, Taylor, and Zac to be the front-members of the band.

Their most popular songs include:
1. Ain’t It Fun (from the album “Paramore” 2013)
2. Still Into You (from the album “Paramore” 2013)
3. Misery Business (from the album “Riot!” 2007)
4. Hard Times (from the album “After Laughter” 2017)

While they are not in the mainstream, they have millions of fans from all around the world. So many that the band hosts an annual “Parahoy”, which is a cruise that sails in the spring/summer time, where Paramore fans can have the time of their lives going to Paramore concerts every day and enjoying summer activities on the most rock and roll cruise of all time.

While some fans may be upset about Paramore leaving the emo genre and moving towards alternative pop, others understand they are expanding and growing their audience and are happy for a refreshing new sound.
Emo: Dude! Did you hear Paramore’s new single? It’s totally mainstream!
Fan: No way man, they totally have their own sound. Paramore rocks.
