Ok so first of all, if you're a directioner, I'm not here to ram you into my opinion or try to offend any of you. I'm going to put this in the nicest way I can. Unfortunately, One Direction isn't my type of music. In fact, I could say I hate it, but before anyone starts dissing me, please read on.


    So I'm going to talk about the Directioners first. The reason I choose to talk about Directioners is because some have been completely ruining my days. I just kind of want to let it out of my chest. Directioners can be cool people. I know a few, they're pretty nice. But there are a LOT that I have encountered. I have never said any such offending thing to Directioners or One Direction, but I went and told a few Directioners in front of me, me not knowing they were Directioners, I told them that I never really enjoyed the music of One Direction. I literally said it in that manner, not viciously, not cruel, just speaking my opinion in a soft tone, nicely. They threw a bunch of death threats at me and told me that I should die and that I should just slit my wrists to death since they had now considered me emo since I disliked the band. I found it a bit pathetic but I felt taken down anyway. I am a really weak person. I could speak but in the inside, I would collapse. I didn't talk back. I was sulking in my mind, thinking of how I had hurt more people, but that was only back then. I have kind of looked back at it and I would still feel pretty bad for no apparent reason. For once I have now believed that I was the victim but I still could barely think clearly. So not everyone is like this, but I know there are a lot out there. To those who have, it hurts. It hurts really bad. Unless someone had done something to the slightest of extremes, please just try to work it out or ignore it. There is no need for death threats for an honest opinion.


    Secondly, I will talk about the band. So some haters of the band say the band never likes the fans back. I do not agree. I think the band would love their own fans. What would be the reason not to? But of course, they can't marry every single one of their fans, if that's where the haters are going at then that's true. Ok so moving on, I really don't enjoy their music very much. So I hate them as a band, but I think they are pretty cool as themselves. I think their life is pretty steady. I envy them. They have eachother while I'm having extreme problems with my "friends". Some would say One Direction as people are gay, hates fans, everything you could think of. I don't believe their minds are as complicated as that. I don't think anyone would take all the time and effort just to reach at an extreme popularity point just to get fangirls that love them but hate the fans' guts.


    Then now, I will talk about the music. This will probably be the most offending to most in this whole passage but I will try to keep this steady. I think their songs are lively and all but it's just hard to enjoy for me. I prefer bands like: OneRepublic, Green Day, Imagine Dragons, Owl City, P!nk, etc. I like songs with power and feeling with great meaning. Those are the artists I admire the most. So some have said One Direction has saved their lives. That they were going to commit suicide then listened to One Direction's music and felt not to. I find that hard to believe for me because I see millions of other songs, telling you not to give up, you are valued, telling you are going to be the strongest, ones with great meaning and sound. I honestly don't see why songs from One Direction would do much. This is when ones that understand it comes in. Why do you enjoy One Direction so much? What makes One Direction so famous above all? I have heard answers like, they're nice, they have a good heart and all but what makes them above all? I've seen many bands with good hearts. Some seem with ones that are even stronger. So what's the big deal of One Direction to you?


    So yes, you may call me a hater, but I will continue to be this way because opinions are natural and I tend to speak my mind a lot. You may hate if you'd like but I have tried to speak these words in the nicest manner that I would do.


Hope you have enjoyed reading this....?

I used to hate them and their fanbase but now they're just comedy fodder for me. Seriously guys, look at them before. Then look at them now.

I guarantee you'll laugh.

In the words of PMRants, in the next year or two there's only One Direction they're headed.

I agree with you a lot on this and coming from a Directioner I have to say many of the people within the fandom scare me slightly. They were the reason I used to not like them but i listened to their music more and they grew on me. (huge pop fan haha) Most fans overreact when someone doesn't like their favorite bands (applies to many fandoms) but I feel like Directioners take it a bit too far with things like : "Your emo loser" and stuff. It is kinda annoying and embarrassing to the normal fans.
Now I really get annoyed when people blame 1D for things the fans do. It isn't their fault their fans are crazy. They aren't responsible for what the fans do the parents are though. Don't blame the band for the failure of parenting. 
But I mean I see how people can dislike them and like them I say people are free to chose and not everyone should like them. The only thing is the bashing but that's inevitable

I just let any girl who prances around with dreams of wedding one of these guys that if it does happen, they're gonna be stuck in a harem the size of China's male population.  Still, the band does irritate me to the point that I leave the room the second someone starts chatting about them.

Well now this makes me feel bad because of those girl's behaviors. They shouldn't have said those things to you!

I'm a directioner but I understand where you're coming from, not everyone has to like them or their music.

I'm so sorry that had to happen to you.


As for why I like them so much, it's because I love pop music a lot and they are the first boy band that I really stuck with, so i guess the're special to me.

And secondly, they've helped me through some really tough times by just thinking about them or listening to their songs. I don't know why

but it helped, but that's just my reason though.                        

  

btw, I love all the artists you listed in your journal!

I have to say, I am a "hater" too. I think you are right in every way possible. 1D is not: OMG OMG! THEYRE THE BEST EVRRRR! EVRYBODY NEEDS TO LIEK 1D, OR ELSE THEYRE STUPID.

Last year, when I was in 5th grade, we had assemblies every Friday. My teacher blared the 1D song: "What Makes You Beatuiful". Sure, I get the message the principal that she's try to send is everybody is diverse, and should appreciate themselves...but...really? This is school. Not every kid there will go bananas for them.

About the music: yup....nope. just no. I don't really like that poppy stuff. And I also loved how you said there are more powerful songs (in meaning) than in 1D. Because it's just too true.

(sorry about this long comment )

D'aaw thanks x3 Yeah same My school is flooded by 1D fangirls. Not that I have much of a problem with them but it just gets a little bit messy when everyone is singing What Makes You Beautiful every 5 minutes ^^" Though some of the best people I know at my school are directioners

Artisticbunny6 In reply to Crystelite [2014-01-09 01:22:49 +0000 UTC]

Same here, but they don't sing/talk about it every 5 minutes. They're too busy with their "drama".

About the last sentence you typed, people should judge people by what music they like

it does get a little annoying when people sing songs (not specifically 1D) though

The first time I heard about One Direction, it was in a Nostalgia Chick video where she hoped that these new idol bands would be as funny to see as the lame 90's boy bands (Back Street Boys and such).

I thought that'd be cool after the Justin Bieber craze, sadly it wasn't. It'd made things a lot more tolerable.

I would like to start by saying that I am not a Directioner, but that I don't have an issue with One Direction either. Having said that, and this goes for members of any fandom, some of these preteens and teenagers scare the hell out of me with their blood thirsty need to treat their idols like faultless objects of worship and crucify anyone who says otherwise.

Secondly the people that say these big-market artists hate their fans aren't entirely wrong. Of course, artists of all sorts love to hear from, meet and see their fans, but there is a line that very often gets crossed by fangirls/boys when their idols are in the area. As a stage performer, I know from firsthand experience that the insane fangirls/boys that throw themselves at me, want nothing more than to touch me, attempt to climb onstage or sneak backstage, or are convinced that surely "we are meant to be together" are irritating as fuck. Excuse my language. Artists love to meet fans that they can connect with and have real conversations with, not the fans that only want to tell them how attractive they are and make rape-y eyes at them.

A lot of fans don't realize what they're doing when they're acting crazy because to them this is perfectly acceptable behavior to them and their friends. It is not. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and it is not fair to crucify someone because their opinion is different than yours. Trust me, Harry Styles would much rather have you respond to someone that isn't a fan of 1D with some integrity, than for you to tell that person to kill themselves. Be mature, children. Please.

I'm not big on that genre of music but I think the guys in One Direction are okay.i definitely do not like Justin Bieber, for a lot of reasons, but that group doesn't have a repulsive personality as a whole. Maybe as individuals they would have issues but it must not be anything major since they're obviously very good friends lol.

Fallen-Magnolia [2014-01-07 03:43:25 +0000 UTC]

I guess it's just a matter of some people's music preferences (I like what you listed out though <3 those are some good artists >v<) 

I personally don't care for 1D either, I thought their music was fairly decent at first, but they got WAY overplayed, and the fans quite frankly, scare me to death (let people have an opinion, come on!)

;; Don't ever kill yourself though, or cut, cutting is a bad thing to get into, it's really hard to get out of.

Kinda reminds me of Bieber fans, some are okay, others

will destroy you if you even give the slightest hint you dislike him.


I guess it depends on the fans themselves, some fangroups seem very childish or some are more mature.
