am I bad that I can't wait for all the crying videos to get uploaded because of this

 

[Mushroomer25]

It's the inevitable end for any of the massive boy band acts. Audience ages out of it quick, and the new generation grabs the next fad.

Now the question is which one of them will be able to shed their roots and form a successful solo career.

T-ara's impact. Who would have thought?

 

[Idontknow]

They give the source as The Sun. But, isn't the Sun supposed to be a UK tabloid. I don't know how reliable this really is. It says they're not going to be doing a tour for their upcoming fifth album, which I find odd.

Now the question is which one of them will be able to shed their roots and form a successful solo career.

I would say that one with the hair, you know that one whatshisname Jim, John... you know the one I'm talking about, one that looks like mushroom... yep definitely that one.

 

[Nudull]

Seriously guy?

Some folks want their masculinity/straightness "validated". :/

 

[GreatestHits]

I forget my earphones sometimes when at the gym and all they play is the latest pop music trash.

I don't give a fuck how far away from wherever I left them I am, I will ALWAYS turn around, go back and get those damn headphones. I am not kidding. Modern pop makes me nauseated, it's a physical thing induced by my brain. I'm not trying to conjure thoughts that I don't like, it just happens

I do have empathy for said 12 yr old girls. However, this is part of life.... When my daughter likes a boyband, I will let her know, sweetheart, they're just trying them out, they all gotta go solo eventually

 

[Raonak]

Good.

 

[JustAnotherMike]

T-ara's impact. Who would have thought?

I want to say that "T-ara" is pronounced as "Tiara", but the "Le-a" precedent makes me want to say this group's name is "Tdashara".

Still pretty unique.

 

[Kozak]

Sucks to be that member of the group nobody knows

 

[GreatestHits]

Sucks to be that member of the group nobody knows

Somebody's gotta set the bottom bar in the band, and lend a higher light to the other mates. It's OK that person usually turns out to be the only legit one when they grow up haha

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Wafflecakes am cry.

Delicious. Just like this news.

 

[jax]

Oddly specific. I'm going to breakup with my band on November 2, 2017

 

[Übermatik]

Holy shit saved

 

[thecouncil]

Good..

...why?

 

[GreatestHits]

Oddly specific. I'm going to breakup with my band on November 2, 2017

Almost *ahem* formulaic lol

...why?

Commercialized pop kinda takes a big dump on the artistry that has dominated music in the past. Johnny Cash is more like a guy with an easal, and 1D is more like kids with amazingly talented vocals and beautifully handsome faces with scripts and coaches. At least, in some people's opinions

 

[Milly Osworth]

Oh no, now some other fabricated group of punks needs to take their place in capturing the hearts of 14 year olds.

 

[vinnygambini]

Simon Cowell is weeping

All dat monies

Spoiler

Saddened by the news; I hope they stage a comeback a decade later a la Take That when Robbie Williams came back - it was epic

 

[jstripes]

And so another generation will learn that Boy Bands inevitably break up, usually catalyzed by the most popular one bolting at the first opportunity.

 

[Mascot]

Which one will be dead within the year? Place your bets.

 

[Idontknow]

The one direction fans on twitter, don't seem to believe this news. due the source being a tabloid newspaper, The Sun. Tweets are saying The Sun has made up crap about 1D before.

 

[facelike]

This just made my day.

 

[Jokab]

My girl sure will be upset by this. Gonna be a difficult time.

 

[Dead Prince]

did everyone just mass suicide. let me check twitter.

 

[exmachina64]

.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Good riddance.

sounds like they need a change in direction.

Brilliant.

 

[pinkurocket]

T-ara's impact. Who would have thought?

 

[Shmuppers]

They've all but explicitly stated that they'll be getting back together eventually. I can't see any of their solo careers getting too far off the ground

 

[Mr-Joker]

Good, maybe the Twitter plebs will finally shut the fuck up.

Yeah about that, they will just move onto the next big thing.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Jonas Brothers are frantically looking for their musical instruments around the house.

They were never as big as 1D.

 

[faridmon]

End of an Era

Maybe I should see them live or something before they split.

 

[F0rneus]

[mohsinkhan]

One direction going different directions?

 

[highrider]

Ha, the jealousy flows through this thread like a Bieber thread. Good luck to them, seem like good kids.

 

[Rushersauce]

It's always fun when I get these kind of reaponses. Or you're a hater or jealous, a response as flat as the ones he/she is defending.

 

[ronco2000]

SMH. This guy, I swear.

 

[NHarmonic.]

So it's the end for all those stupid twitter hashtags?

Spoiler

(or it's the beginning of some even worse?)

 

[Silver Arrows]

ITT: opinions that wouldn't be out of place in lewronggeneration

Good god, some of you people need to stop being so fucking spiteful and grow up.

 

[GreatestHits]

End of an Era

I don't think the era ended, we should have another one soon. Not joking or being bitter, if it's possible to come across in such a way, lol

And sorry, but some of us who think they suck, still like the guys, wish the best for them, but will hurl if we hear them sing. My younger brother is basically in a boy band, I love him, but he knows this. C'mon. Anyway we stank ya thread up enough, time to mourn

[higemaru]

the most tragic break-up since the beatles.

at least since the monkees.

You trolling, mate?

 

[Captain Europe]

Seeing as I am not a teenage girl or a homosexual man, I haven't listened to their music, but fans shouldn't be too distraught. They're gonna get back together, there's too much money at stake.

Damn all those invisible homosexual men between the fangirls.

I also want the power of invisibility.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

RIP. One Thing will live on forever. The Hey Jude of our time...

 

[NotLiquid]

Does this mean the Worldwide Trends tab on Twitter will contain things that aren't about whatever that Niall guy did this time

 

[rhandino]

brb, running to Tumblr, Twitter and ATRL for the meltdowns...

Thanks Zayn!

 

[Linkyn]

This week is going to be uncomfortable...

 

[jstripes]

This week is going to be uncomfortable...

I'm curious to know why.

 

[GreatestHits]

I'm curious to know why.

He's in highschool. Poor guy

 

[M3d10n]

Teenage girls am cry

They won't even remember them 5 years from now. Soon-to-be teenage girls will be fawning over shiny new bands which will form while they are teenagers with shiny new boys.

Such is the boy band cycle.
