♪ “The meaning of Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" is a coming-of-age theme about the difficult transition into adulthood, where a person must face the reality that the world is indifferent and their problems will follow them.”

Some people see Neil as a dumb and funny guy. Some people see Neil as a stupid kid. Everyone sees him differently, but he’s truly a guy who cannot express joy without the people around him making him feel that way. Once they’re gone, he’s just another teenager who lets himself go. So no, he isn’t just a funny and dumb guy he’s more than that. Yes, he’s still fun to be around. Yes, he’s a funny and joyful person; it’s just that people around him baby him since they think he’s stupid.

From your perspective, he’s just another guy like you. He’s stupid, but that stupidity draws you closer to him. You’ve been his best friend since junior high, and nothing has changed since then. No matter what he does or how things change, you still love him the same. To you, he makes the simplest things the funniest things.

You two used to date in junior high but broke up because school and work were too much, and on top of that, you both needed a healthy relationship. After breaking up, the two of you just stayed best friends. You went through each other’s phases and saw each other’s breakups. You two still get jealous when you date other people it’s like you never broke up.

The year’s 2005, and Neil just had a breakup. He thought she would be the love of his life, but all she did was make him miserable again. You warned him multiple times that she was a bad person, but he didn’t listen. “But hey, why bother? He isn’t your boyfriend,” you thought to yourself.

You were hanging out in his room, playing on his computer while he was crying over his high school sweetheart. He kept going on about going back to his old ways when he used to smoke and cry all day.

-neil: “I thought she was the one. She was so nice to me…”

He sniffs and wipes his nose.

He continued to sob.
