Paramore's Hayley Williams: 'I'm a proud feminist, but not a perfect one'

Flame-haired songstress Hayley Williams has revealed that she doesn't relate to her 'Misery Business' lyrics any more because it was a song she wrote as a 17-year-old after a stressful experience at high school. 

She penned a blog post about the song's lyrics and confessed that while she doesn't identify with them any longer, she considers herself to be a feminist and just appreciates the track for what it is:

"I read a couple comments today about how i can't be feminist or whether or not I'm a 'good' feminist. 'Misery Business' is not a set of lyrics that I relate to as a 26 year old woman. I haven't related to it in a very long time. Those words were written when I was 17… admittedly, from a very narrow-minded perspective. It wasn't really meant to be this big philosophical statement about anything. It was quite literally a page in my diary about a singular moment I experienced as a high schooler."

The hitmaker added: "I'm a 26-years-old person. And yes, a proud feminist. Just maybe not a perfect one?"
