There are only so many notes in music, it’s inevitable that songs will sound the same. It’s because she is a young girl people can’t believe she is smart enough to make up her own music, especially when it’s as good as it is. i imagine it’s extremely frustrating for her.

Besides Same Old Love and Havana sounded the same! A LOT of songs sound the same!

[@goofdog5734]

There are just so many similarities that it kind of paints Olivia's as unoriginal at best, and copyrighted at worst. Same chords, not a big deal. Same key, not a big deal. Same beats per minute, not a big deal. Same melody, sketchy. Same musical genre, SUPER sketchy. All of that stuff.... not great. Music doesn't have a huge palette, so it's pretty easy to stumble over something that's already been made before, but usually not THAT close.

[@amilehonstein1671]

Actually if you strip down the guitar in misery business it is the exact same as Olivia's vocal line. Same key, same melody, same progression, same rhythms. Literally if you lay it over its the same for over half the song.

i say this as a huge Paramore fan, this was not plagiarism. the first time I heard the song, I did think of misery business, but that happens A LOT with a lot of songs. have you never had one song stuck in your head and suddenly it leads into another one because a chord progression is similar? I'm happy that there was credit given, but the amount of hate is unwarranted. people really like hating on young upcoming artists, especially if they're women, and it reeks of misogyny. edit: to clarify because my wording was ambiguous, when I say credit here I don't mean writing credits. paramore did not write this song. I mean that I'm happy that credit for the inspiration was given because the song is influenced by them. if we had to give credit for every chord progression that is similar to another one, everyone since 1700 should have been crediting mr j s bach lmao

Williams does not own female-fronted pop-rock music.

The whole thing about this and Hayley specifically is... honestly Hayley is the type who... doesn't care about stuff like this. She's gone on record before to talk about this before in both the case of "people plagiarizing Paramore" and her herself "plagiarizing other artists" and was incredibly understanding and uplifting of other artists. So the whole thing of people thinking Hayley asked for this herself on a song she publically distances herself with a co-writer she PUBLICALLY HATES (Zac is the only Farro we acknowledge in this house)... It ain't adding up to me that's all.

[@heegskeebs]

i was just thinking this too!! she's tried so hard to distance herself from this song, just to go through all these hoops to associate herself with it again?? is it the record label?? idek

If you strip down the guitar in Misery Business it’s almost exactly like Olivia’s vocal line.

There’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from music of the past. Music evolves like that. But you should always cite your sources. lol

[@mlynn1316]

I like both songs, and definitely immediately noticed Paramore's influence on the song (as well as Blondie's and Avril's, albeit a bit more subtle) but did not think that it was stolen or even that closely derived from Misery Business. They are similar styles and very clearly there is some influence, but the songs are definitely different

There is a good mashup of Good 4 U and Misery Business which was cool and works well, maybe they can collaborate and make a live duet/remix or so. While there are a few similarities, they are 2 different songs. I feel Good 4 U has more dynamic in range in the vocals and there’s more bass guitar and the drums are different. Also tempo changes are more apparent in Good 4 U and the pauses help whereas Misery Business doesn’t have as many pauses. I’m fine with Misery Business but Good 4 U I find to be a better song IMO.

The songs are not so similar that anybody else should get a writing credit or any of that on it. Can songs not be inspired by other things nowadays? They’re not even the same. Literally every artist on planet earth has probably gotten inspiration from another song, literally any other song. There are only so many things you can do in music until music notes or themes will start to sound similar in some sort of way. This same shit happened with déjà vu, and I’ve heard cruel summer, neither one sounds that alike.

@@tristanparedes Hey Tristan, how about doing content regarding build a b by bella poarch, some trolls made a content that it is also a copy of Mozart, wth, there are actually a million gullible people believing that troll lol🤦 that's why that song have many dislikes

[@pwr2th3peaceful]

Totally agree with you on this. Really love your explanation in this video.

[@lamine428]

It’s like bachata music there’s chord or a particular sound that everyone does that makes it bachata

[@NoFilterNikki]

Love it when you’re fired up!

[@TheAngryCleric]

“Misery Business” being a song from a “generation removed” makes me feel very, very old.

[@s.young1110]

I was so triggered 😭

[@ajbp95]

I just found out about this beef and you are a breath of fresh air and reason!

[@vlogswithgabi7360]

I keep coming back to watch your videos because there that good 😊 keep it up 🥰

[@legomite]

I highly recommend Adam Neely’s analysis on this subject where he goes more into technical aspects, and how music is built on top of each other. He also shows how Green Day’s Boulevard of broken dreams and Taylor Swift’s Never ever getting back can also all interchangeably overlay over each other and blend very well

[@lindseycassella3015]

That was a good video

[@markcutie9959]

Yes, I've watched his video as well also telling that Paramore might copy the sounds too.. lol

[@DavidVanCouvering]

Thank you. You put into words a lot of what I was thinking like wait isn't all pop music similar? Isn't chord progression just a tiny part of it? I really appreciate this thank you.

[@dianablanco4592]

Te quiero mucho, tristanparedes. Thanks for that video. I was really frustrated trying to explaning this to my friends even though i love paramore i think they didnt deserve the credit. Youre a genius.

[@julie6512]

Been waiting for this. Anyways you look amazing 🥺

[@AK-nw3fx]

THANK YOOOU I LITERALLY NEVER FELT LIKE THEY WERE SIMILAR

[@lemonade_standing]

I was waiting for this, I knew you would be able to break it down

[@mus1quenonst0p]

great video tristan! thanks!

[@joditsany]

Great explanation and I agree. I think what's more important here is that pop-punk genre is basically dying. The fact that Olivia Rodrigo is bringing back this genre through this song and also introducing this to younger generations are more important and meaningful for the genre and the whole pop-punk community (including me).

[@linn469]

the people who were mad about this have clearly never seen 4 chord song - Axis of Awesome 😤

[@dintluangi1769]

Excited for the next vid

[@cminor4423]

So glad you covered this. I would say that avid musicians and vocalists are aware of this. People are just trying to drive up drama but don’t actually know much about the topic to support their argument

[@user-cq5tm9eb7s]

Thank youuu someone who understands it. People just lovee to hate on successful young artist especially when they’re new 🙄 go touch some grass or something

[@Lorn123]

Actually love the way you approached this and demonstrated 👏👏👏

[@gayloverboy9517]

I like how this content is, you explained great detail and facts to prove it up. Best channel for that I ever seen. I'm sub now

[@bananasarecool123]

The songs are similar in the way that all pop punk songs are similar lol but other than that, they really have different vibes to them. There’s a bitter sarcastic feeling to Olivias and a snarky bragging feeling to Paramores. It didn’t even cross my mind that the songs were similar until people were pointing it out

[@mylittlehyrule]

josh farro is the one ppl should be complaining about i dont wanna see mfs dragging hayley williams

[@Ashley-km4qi]

She’s still at fault, seems like she’s not doing anything to stop it. She’s just watching an 18 year old get dragged for no reason.

[@mylittlehyrule]

@@Ashley-km4qi hayley hates josh farro and mizbiz she pretty much wants nothing to do with that song. secondly if josh farro is the one making the claims for creditation then thats on him, not something hayley has control over. i know hayley wouldnt support something like this. lets not forget josh farro is homophobic 😕

[@relaxingvideos7489]

whenever u post i get really happy !!!

[@xhypalmachu1692]

Literally everything I was thinking. Thank you very much.

[@Uenostation54]

This is just interpolation (different from sampling) and is super common in music and is pretty subjective? It's also about whether you give credit when you should and whether the other artist cares or not?

[@zepp3583]

I’m glad Adam changed about his mind about taking inspiration to someone because few years ago he actually criticized Gaga for allegedly copying Madonna. He was so shady about it back then

[@kawaiipatata805]

i love this explanation xoxo

[@dysprsm6906]

It's 3am here in the PH but tristan uploads a new vid so hello 👁️👄👁️

[@bekf606]

You can mash Taylor Swift’s We are never getting back together, Paramore’s MizBiz and Olivia’s Gud 4 u. All the same chord progression. Been watching you for awhile and your content are great. Finally subbed.

[@richardparadox163]

I very much want to listen to this mash up. 3 of my faves

[@hannahgoode2335]

If we take legal action every time a song sounds like another song, we will never be able to make music again.

[@thxnvunext4121]

I needed his vidddd today

[@beccajj2323]

TRISTAN!!! HALSEY REACTION PLEASE?? I saw it was privated, and i missed the livestream. Can we see it please?? Or did it get copyrighted? You are 1000% my comfort channel and I have been LOVING Halseys album lately so I was super hype about that video.

[@laramorrison5973]

Paramore didn't ask for writing credits, they hate misery business and don't perform it anymore and none of them speak to Josh Farro either. Hayley posted on her story making fun of her publisher for going after getting the writing credits. Whether it was stealing or not, the hate for Olivia and Paramore is misplaced, the record labels handled this terribly

[@ainsleyxoxo]

im so used to your intro because i watch you so often-

[@rebelodge]

First I'm hearing of the drama but now I need to binge riot all over again. Brings back all the high school mems 💖

[@Aaarandom]

I’ve never seen your content before but I’m about to check it all out! I love your personality 💜💜💜 new sub here

[@gianaravelo3951]

I love that I feel more confidence from Tristan today. I also love we’re talking ab Paramore lol

[@teodorar.6468]

The good for you/misery business mashup actually sounds great, they should make a song together!

[@kattsinpink]

I like your take on this 👌🏼

[@annarysulova6788]

Great educational video 👏🏽

[@jackiesosamusic1685]

Misery business is too iconic to compare it honestly... Both songs are awesome and deserve credit for people being able to express themselves ❤️
