By the way one direction inspired an entire generation of young teens to become artists, readers, writers, musicians, animators. 14 year olds were hacking into security cameras. Do you genuinely understand how hard that is? I literally have a tech degree and i still view hacking as too complicated. 14 year olds were in literal stem to watch one direction buy a bottle of shampoo. They have genuinely altered the courses of so many people’s lives in terms of careers and long term hobbies. It was never just the music. I literally started reading by reading fanfiction. I am now a very active reader of many genres. I got a fucking tech degree because i wanted to see how it was done. Like its so unbelievably crazy. And they were massively bullied by the media and the rest of the world. They were ridiculed by the music industry. They were the biggest boyband on the planet and the only one that went as global as they did and they had them parody their own song 3 seperate times. They were never nominated for grammys as a group. They were genuinely never taken seriously and they changed the courses of young womens lives.
Everyone in the replies and reblogs agreeing and proving my point makes me so warm. This is a sisterhood. This is girlhood. This is love. This is 5 boys who fought against the narrative very boldly in interviews and consistently stood up for their young female audience. Not once were we not thanked at award shows, not once did they allow us to be ridiculed by misogyny in interviewers questions. Time and time again they shut down that shit. This is countless women across the ENTIRE world that will forever remain bonded and connected by one central thing, their love for 5 boys. Countless women seeing it in lifelong dreams, in their hobbies, in their passion projects, in their careers. When they have a bad interaction and regress to a sad lonely 13 year old for a day who’s listening to one direction on repeat.
Know this: there are countless women who feel the exact same way. We all have different stories and different skills gained, different cultures, different reasons for using the band as our sanctuary, but strip us down, and we are all the same.
This will forever remain a sisterhood. If you’d like to talk about literally anything, one direction or otherwise, please know you can always reach out to me. Even if we’ve never spoken. Love you all and hope you’re doing okay.

Early one direction was fantastic. NO stage presence. No dance moves. They’d just be up on stage like awkwardly bopping around and shoving each other and like fucking giving eachother smooches on the cheek. There was one show where Harry styles got pantsed during his solo??? They were the boyband that NEVER wanted to or intended to be in a boyband! They were totally in it for the fame and the money, but they became BROS !!!! They were FRIENDS!! And that’s the true beauty, the friends we made along the way!
One Direction wasn’t a boyband, they were 5 boys in a band
