new paramore song means new paramore art! this is why!
@paramore
!!!!! this is why hayley is the goat. merch designers more often than not will just get a flat $500 payment, and that’s the end of it. for her to advocate for (and action!) fairer payments/royalties is v big-hearted. looking out for the little guy is punk!!!!
💬 hayley williams talking about paying royalties to tour merchandise designers and supporting fan artists during her brain freeze interview with common revolt:
tyler common: in a world of like generative ai, all this bullshit, you've started giving royalties to the people that have worked on your merch and you've just have hired fans and stuff, which i think is incredible and it's something that's if anyone doesn't know, royalties for merch is not normal. i think that's so cool. i guess what was your like thought process in doing that and also why don't more artists do that?
hayley williams: it should be normal. it really should be normal, because that t-shirt exists in perpetuity. like that design is there. and you know, growing up in that world, it was like sometimes it's like 500 bucks to a designer, and then you go sell, especially if your band's doing well, you're selling tens of thousands of dollars. sometimes you're selling more than that. it just doesn't feel fair. i get a royalty for the songs that i write. you know, that's a whole other conversation. but i think it should be the norm. i think it should be an industry-wide switch-up that needs to happen. and you know, i haven't done a whole lot of campaigning around it, but i'm trying to do the work behind it.

psa: summer gets increasingly hotter every single time you stick an ai-generated event poster on a wall (posting about it on social media counts, double)
