Hayley Williams Calls Out NOFX Singer Fat Mike for Alleged Onstage Sexual Comments

The nostalgia-based Las Vegas festival was described as “an epic line-up of emo and rock bands from the past two decades,” but Williams said her memories of the emo heydays were skewed. “Everyone’s just trying to remember better days, and I’m sitting there like, ‘They weren’t that much better,’” she said.

“I was really surprised that I had so much anger well up in me because I was like, ‘Wait a minute. They’re treating us like a prize now, but like, Fat Mike used to tell people that I gave good rim jobs onstage when I was 19 years old,'” she said. “I do not think that that’s punk. I don’t think that’s the essence of punk,” she continued. “And I feel strongly that without young women, people of color and also the queer community, I just think we would still be where we were then.”

This was a sentiment Williams also voiced onstage at When We Were Young, telling the crowd: “When Paramore came onto the scene, roughly around 2005, the scene was not always a safe place to be if you were different — if you were a young woman, if you were a person of color, if you were queer — and that’s really fucked up if you think about it. I’ve had my fill of letting older people — especially older men — tell me what punk rock is and tell me what punk rock is not.

'Hypothetically speaking, I said those things that I'm saying right now a long time ago. I'm not that guy anymore.'

Fat Mike was always an ass on stage. It's a tired shtick but still a shtick nonetheless

Don't use Fat Mike to get popular. Linolium...

A) it's Fat Mike B) it's Fat Mike C) hell likely tell you the same thing today as a joke. D) You were/are a whiny little emo chick so.....

I thought punk was about anarchy, not giving a shit what other people think and telling them fuck off. Then making more music to piss them off to the point their heads implode. 🤔

some ppl say punk is dying, but i'm just glad is being reborn through bands such as amyl and the sniffers, etc. old punk dudes can be either super chill or creepy as hell, and we ain't gonna miss the latter

I really like her
