Discussion Post: A rant about all things 1D.

Yes, I know I am about 12 years late.

Hey everyone! Welcome or welcome back to my blog!

So, for the past month, there is this constant warmth in my heart that’s been building up and that warmth is a newfound love for One Direction- yes the megahuge boyband pop sensation that took over the world from 2010-2015.

So, this entire post is going to be divided into a few sections, and we’ll tackle all of them one by one, okay?

Section 1: How it started?

Honestly, I’ve always had a liking for One Direction, like I listened to their music as a group and from when they were solo artists- like all my playlist have at least a couple of songs from them (solo or group). But recently, when Harry’s House came out, I did go on YouTube to you know, watch a couple of Harry’s interviews and stuff, which led to a 1D influenced change on my YouTube feed. This led to me being obsessed with Zarry, but that’s for a later segment. I just like, started listening to their music and stuff, like proper 1D music, and I just was like, that’s some awesome music. I started watching YT clips and edits of them and I am like these seem like five really cool people. Liam Payne’s recent interview with Logan Paul (I think?) also added fuel to the fire. Like I hate some of the stuff he said on the podcast, but my news feed brought it up, and I was like, hmm, interesting.

Section 2: The boys as individual people

I’ll be honest, I love the diversity of the group, as far as the boys are concerned- personality wise. And no, I am not talking about the image the media created- Harry as a womanizer and everything. I genuinely admire the guys as individual people, especially Niall and Harry as all of them seem like really cool people.

Section 3: Zarry Stylik

I know a lot of people are Larries, but honestly I do not see a romantic chemistry between Harry and Louis. I mean, I don’t know what happened in those five years, but I am pretty sure that there was at least one relationship that really messed up the group’s dynamics and may have led to the ‘hiatus’. And for me that relationship is Zarry. I won’t go into detail, but do check out Aarin Durham’s YT channel to know why I believe so. And I genuinely genuinely hope that one day the truth comes out in an Evelyn Hugo sort of manner. Like I don’t want any of them to get hurt, and obviously none of them are entitled to telling us about their private lives, but I just wish I could know. I swear I won’t even tell anyone.

Section 4: Their music

I don’t care what anyone says, but the last three albums were so much better than the first two. Like they definitely had developed into better musicians.
But I genuinely wish we could have gotten an album that was written just by the five of them, because I listen to their music as solo artists, and it’s very different from the band’s music, so I think if all of them came together now and wrote and performed it would be pretty epic. Like yeah. Unity in diversity sorta thing, you know?

I also think Louis Tomlinson’s music is so underrated. Like I genuinely love his voice and his lyrics- he’s a great songwriter. Harry, Zayn and Niall have their fair amount of fame, but Louis Tomlinson definitely should be more well known.

Section 5: The ‘dark’ side of 1D

It’s often said 1D was a brand and not a band. Like all of them were mistreated and controlled very much, and I hate that for them. Like obviously the band gave them all fame, but it didn’t happen in the right way and that genuinely makes me feel very sad- a group of such talented individuals going through such stuff.

Section 6: Prospects of a reunion

All the members have said that they wouldn’t mind a reunion. At this point, I don’t even care if it’s a reunion, I just wish all of them came together and had zero beef.

*Five

Moreover, I doubt any of their fans who are all now grown up, will even except them to make ‘generic’ music as they did, since we’re all now familiar with their music and don’t really expect them to make the kind of music they used to.

I literally won’t even mind if the guys just occasionally got together and collaborated to make some music. Like you know, a new song every six months or something like that. By all means, do your own thing, but also give a little something to your fans, pwease?

Section 7: My favourite members as solo artists

Okay, Harry and Niall are my favourites. Their music is great for one thing. But Niall is so unproblematic?? Like obviously he dates people and must have broken a few hearts (Because, come on, he’s Niall!), but I literally haven’t seen a single controversy that surrounds him- dating or otherwise. Harry did have a few controversies and stuff (Maybe it was PR?) but he’s become such a good and sweet person? His concerts genuinely are a vibe! Like I haven’t seen anyone interacting with the fans during concerts as much as he does. And his voice is so soothing- petition for him to start a podcast. And he can literally pull any outfit off? How? And both of their music is so good, I genuinely love it!

Zayn and Louis are also tied for the second position- I feel like both of them have been through a lot of stuff, but they still like try to be good people? Which I feel is the most important thing. And honestly Louis’ music is soo good! Like apparently he’s the least successful member of the band with 4M monthly Spotify listeners, and I was- whaaat, how the hell is it not Liam?
Zayn’s latest album was a bit too sexual for my taste, but he does make good music.

And now’s the time for the bitter sort of truth- I do not like Liam. He might have been a nice guy and everything, but he’s done some pretty shitty stuff. Saying Harry’s got a weird sense of dressing? Saying everything he did on the Logan Paul podcast. I am pretty sure he’s the reason 1D won’t reunite. And how the hell is he more successful than Louis? Like Louis genuinely has better music than him- Liam is literally just pop and not much depth, but Louis’ Walls, Always You? And Louis’ voice is superior, you cannot change my mind.
I don’t know I just feel like Liam’s just an attention seeker, especially based on half the comments he makes. And literally who names their child Bear? It’s like he wants his kid to be bullied!

Okay, I’ll stop. But we do need more Harries and Nialls in the world.

Um, that’s about it, I guess? I genuinely hope the best for all the guys! Are you a Directioner? Let me know in the comments!
