bittersweet and delicate

"it's cold and old but in my mind i am miles and miles away."

I don't really get why anyone would think 5SOS is a band worthy of so much attention. Just another unattractive unoriginal band of boys that no one will care about in a year. I appreciate that everyone has thier own taste in music, I just don't understand what is so captivating about this band. —Anonymous

First of all, I hate these types of messages and really do not like the people who send them. Why do you need to try to start arguments? We’re a peaceful fandom who keep to ourselves, why does this need to happen?
But since you’ve asked, I’m going to answer and touch down on various points you’ve made. So I’ll lay it out for you, from my perspective, in a few simple categories:
unattractive you say?
how
are
they
unattractive?
I don’t understand
moving on…
They care about their fans an incredible amount and show it whenever possible.
honestly, if you look through their twitters, watch interviews or videos of them meeting fans, they make sure we all know that even if we think no one is there for us, they will always be supporting us and there to help us through anything.
please listen to this audio post x
They are all literal balls of sunshine.
and they’re completely normal guys (albeit a bit dorky sometimes)
and the one things that really bothered me was when you said they were ‘unoriginal’ and implied that they weren’t talented.
I’m just going to ask you to watch/listen to any of these x x x x x x
and really listen to their lyrics.
have you ever watched them perform?

they
put
EVERYTHING
they
have
into
EVERY
SINGLE
SHOW
their music has helped so many people in so many different ways.
these boys got the chance to do what they love and they’re fucking brilliant at it, I think.
So I’ll leave you with this tweet to summarize everything and I hope this helped you understand “what is so captivating about this band”
