My personal opinion of them two bands: One Direction and Big Time Rush.

[kseenaa]

I am just gonna get this out and get it out here. I apparently have saddened a friend, and even though I am blunt and everyone knows it... it makes me a bit sad everytime it happens.

So rant. Here. Hang on to your hats. This might get ugly. But it is MY opinion. And I am entitled to have one to, right?

I feel flooded. And damn lonely. :-/ Why? Because this last month, two last months? Something like that... My flist, my tweet-list, my plurk-list, my tumbler-dash... it is OVER-RUN with One Direction and Big Time Rush. It's like a damn plague. Everywhere. Just... everywhere... these boys, that to me... is damn annoying.

Now, I am sure they are nice and friendly to everyone and supportive to great causes and all that.

But me? I REALLY dislike their music. I sure as hell don't see anything cute or pretty or sexy with any of them. I've checked them out, oh yes. I have no choice, now do I? Since I get flooded from left and right. I've even done Google-searches to try and find out what the hell it IS with these boys... Still. No. I've listened to their music. I've looked at photo-shoots and gifs. I've checked out music-vids and interviews.

Still. No. HELLS to the noes!

And apparently... I am alone in feeling like this. And it's like you are SUPPOSED to fall for them as soon as you see them.

Now... this plague and fan-movement reminds me of something else... Bare with me. I am kinda old... well, at least not young.

New Kids on the Block? Anyone remember them? Yes? No? This fanmovement going on right now reminds me A LOT of the fans of NKOTB back then. If you didn't like NKOTB back then, you were strange and usually got bullied for it. (School-years, bullying happened for much.)

And then there were all the bands that followed in NKOTB's wake. Anyone remember them today? Take That? Backstreet Boys? East 17? Five? Boyzone? Westlife? 'N Sync? Bros? Wet Wet Wet? No Mercy?

They all still make music. But they are far FAR from their old glory. Still, the insane flame that runs around, the plague around One Direction and Big Time Rush reminds me a lot of these bands. Even their music reminds me a lot of some of the above mentioned bands. And not in a good way. It's like someone took NKOTB, dusted them off, put on a new suit and presented them again. *shakes head*

Aaaaaand I'll probably lose friends over this... :-P And if you wanna filter your posts, be my guest. Do so. But I hope I can still read about YOU. Because if I friended YOU it is YOU I am interested in and wanna read about.

Enjoy your new fandom, people. Just don't force me into it.

omg i had never heard of either of these bands. i've heard of one direction because remember that weekend i went to jersey to visit sara's little sister? her little sister kellianne and her best friend whitney are CRAZY about one direction. we had to be upstairs in front of the tv by 8 p.m because one direction was going to be on i-carly, and then we drove them to the grocery store so they could buy magazines! they were cute i think, and funny enough on i-carly. now kellianne has added the signature 'i <3 one direction' to all of her texts!! hahaha. i remember being like this with sara on the backstreet boys and the smashing pumpkins. i think i only heard one song. reminded me a lot of other boy bands except the opening riff which i could have sworn was from grease.

yeah people get so obsessive. sorry this is happening, but i highly doubt it's my journal it's happening in :P

Nope, your journal and twitter is innocent in this case. :-) It's mostly on Tumblr and Twitter it is going on. :-P Since I am fangirling over Tokio Hotel, as you know, I was told I SHOULD like One Direction and Big Time Rush to, which made me go WHAT? pretty much...

Apparently this has slowed down now. :-) So... I'll live, I suppose. I just had to get that off my chest, you know?

i really just want you to know that i just skated to sara's house and as soon as i stepped out of my house i heard the only song i know by one direction. someone down the block was having a pool party and blasting that song. how timely

*lol* Timely indeed. :-D They seem to get in everywhere!
