Yes, fuck them. They should stop making music.
But no, wait, that's mean.
I'll be honest, the members seem like they're total bros. Probably a really chill bunch of guys, and they're doing what they love to do, which is great! Fuckin' go for it!
They can sing, I think a couple can play instruments. Bottom line: they have talent.
But I have a problem with One Direction. This problem... is the fan base. And also the public image of this band.
See, One Direction is marketed for their image, nothing else. Most of their music simply... isn't good! It's all the same: irritating, high-pitched synthesizers mixed with shabby acoustic guitar and a pop beat. Like every other pop band out there, they fail to possess even an ounce of originality.
Thus, when music isn't good, what must the music industry go to in order to make money?
They must get fans to absolutely WORSHIP the people making the music!
So they develop a sort of "personality" for each of the members. For example, Zayn is supposed to be quiet and mysterious, and Niall is supposed to be the downtrodden youngster.
This, in my book, is utter blasphemy to music. It's, quite literally, a brainwashing of today's teenagers.
Music has a defining role in culture, and these days it's bigger than it has ever been. So when you get people (especially girls) to believe that the "perfect guy" exists only in a band such as One Direction, then you are harboring a generation that thrives on ridiculous fantasies mixed with a shitty taste in music.
We must conserve the GOOD artists out there. Zeppelin. Aerosmith. Deep fuckin' Purple hell yes. But every day, those fantastic musical groups are being forgotten, and what is put in their place?
What is put in their place, you ask?!

OMFG SO HAWT <3333
Who gives a flying fuck about if an artist has abs or not?
And by the way, none of them have abs!
They don't have fucking abs! I'm more muscular, attractive, talented, and sexually appealing than Harry Styles, and I'm a fucking toothpick who only works out once a week if I can fit it into my schedule.
And yet, I have never been in a relationship, nor do I have millions of girls fawning over me whenever I park my ass in front of a paparazzi.
