Hayley Williams Slams Sexist Web Bros: Rock Bands Don’t Endorse “Bizarre Incel” Life

Hayley Williams doesn’t have time for web trolls. On Sunday, July thirtieth, the Paramore singer took to Instagram whereas recovering from a lung an infection — which brought about the postponement of a few of the band’s tour dates — and slammed sexist “web bros” for his or her vital outcries towards her.

Sharing a screenshot of a put up by which a Twitter person tried to offer her shit for suspending the reveals with the argument that Metallica and Iron Maiden are each older than her and nonetheless “handle” to carry out, Williams served a slam-dunk response: “Neither James [Hetfield] nor Bruce [Dickinson] are gonna suck your dick for this, love.”

Williams then shared one other screenshot, exhibiting a Twitter person evaluating her to Dave Grohl, who famously completed a Foo Fighters live performance after breaking his leg in 2015. The twitter person known as Williams “whiney,” however she eloquently responded with the reality. “I’ve a lung an infection, you mushy shit!” she wrote. “Not a damaged limb. One you may sing with for 2 hours, one other you may’t.”

Then, illustrating how out-of-touch web trolls could be, Williams reminded of us that Grohl is a bonafide Paramore fan. “The reveals weren’t canceled, merely postponed per week,” she wrote. “Perhaps you need to come out to certainly one of them… like Dave did.” Simply final month, Foo Fighters introduced Williams on stage at Bonnaroo to carry out “My Hero.”

Williams has been candid previously concerning the sexism and discrimination ladies in music face. In one other put up on her story, she defined that “web bros” have been unfairly attacking her since 2005. “The one factor that’s modified is the platform from which they spew their ignorance,” she defined, earlier than giving the “bros” a lesson.

“Don’t suppose for a second [that] your favourite bands — steel or punk or in any other case — endorse your bizarre incel ass life-style,” she continued. “So many of those bands have stood aspect stage at our reveals and deal with us with respect. Why? As a result of they aren’t threatened by a powerful girl [fronting] a terrific band in a very totally different style of music.” She couldn’t be extra appropriate, and we reckon Grohl would most likely agree along with her, too.

In the meantime, Paramore actually goes to play these postponed reveals. Take a look at the total listing of dates, and seize your tickets right here.
