“Nope,” I whisper as I exit out of a fic with no paragraph breaks.

No excuses, folks! Change paragraphs when:

- the “camera” moves - a new character shows up - someone speaks - someone else speaks - a new idea, subject, or topic is introduced - time passes or reverts to an earlier point - the setting changes - the mood shifts - you want to create dramatic effect

“I usually see the glass half-empty, Noodle sees the glass half-full; that’s why we make a good team. Russel, on the other hand, wonders why it has to be glass and Murdoc just breaks the glass by throwing it at me.”

I doubt anyone really cares about this, but I’m saying it anyway.

Most of the 5sos fanbase seems to be in their 20s, or at least 18 plus. I just want to say that us young fans are out here. I can’t speak for everyone, but I think most of us are a little intimidated. There are so many fans who have been here since the beginning, who talk about the release of Heartbreak Girl and watching 5sos tour with 1D, and I think we’re a little afraid of saying that we’re still new compared to you all. But we’re still here.

I am 15 years old. I started listening to 5sos at the beginning of 2018, before the Youngblood era really kicked off—there still wasn’t a release date for Want You Back and we were getting little to no new content. I came into the fandom listening to songs from Sounds Good Feels Good and earlier, and it absolutely astounded me that there were people out there writing songs that were so honest. Think Jet Black Heart, Broken Home, Invisible. I can’t describe the effect that had on me as a person who struggles with depression and anxiety. By the time Youngblood was finally released, I had grown to love 5sos and the message they had.

I listened to the self-titled album and smiled knowing that 5sos were around my age when they wrote some of those songs. I listened to Sounds Good Feels Good and connected with the music so deeply that sometimes it felt like 5sos knew me personally. Now I listen to Youngblood and can’t relate just yet, but I still rock out to the songs knowing how much 5sos have grown as people. And knowing how much I will grow.

I realize that sounds a little strange, but let me explain myself. Me and most other fans my age can’t relate to the songs on Youngblood. Personally, I connect with Sounds Good Feels Good more. I relate to Invisible much more than I wish I did. But I see the boys in interviews and I hear the lyrics in their music and see how much they’ve grown, how they’re still evolving and changing. I look at 5sos now and think, I will be okay.

I see Luke smiling and laughing during interviews, even though I know the last few years have been rough for him, and I know that one day I’ll smile too.

I see Michael, obviously in love and now engaged, and I think how I’ll be able to form strong relationships, romantic or otherwise.

I see Calum singing and playing on stage with all the passion in the world and know that someday I’ll share that same love of life.

And I see Ashton, speaking so eloquently and passionately and deeply during interviews, and I’m amazed at how a person can come out of the darkest mental place and come out better. I know that I will grow into a greater person.

5sos has an influence on all ages. Us young fans didn’t get to experience it in real time, but we still saw the boys go through every trial of life and come out better for it. They’re continuing to put out music that covers real topics and real problems. We all saw 5sos take every risk and stand up for what they believe in, and they continue to do so, and that gives us the strength to go on. We look at 5sos now and know that one day we’ll be okay.

Young fans are out here. Our experiences are just a little different, and I thought it was time someone shed some light on it. We’re still just as prepared to defend and support 5sos as any of you are. So remember that we’re here.

And remember that 5sos’s influence goes deeper than we think.

this person makes valid points, but i just want to point out that the age factor doesn’t have as much to do with it as it seems. i’m sixteen and have been here since 2014, i’ve listened to every song that 5sos has released since 2011. i relate to lyrics from all over, all amongst the eras. while most younger fans probably relate to sgfg more, i personally relate to youngblood most. youngblood is my favorite 5sos album, and it has nothing to do with my age or being here for 5+ years, it’s literally just because i’ve experienced things that have allowed me to relate to the more mature-themed lyrics that 5sos have written. i’m not trying to create drama or make anyone mad, i just want others in the fandom to be aware that age should not matter and younger fans should not be ashamed of whether they do or do not relate to lyrics from any album, let alone just youngblood. your age doesn’t matter to the boys or most of us, what matters is that you love them and are here for them and support them. the boys have and will continue to impact each and every one of us in both similar and different ways, and how old you are will do little to nothing that will actually change the fact that they inspire you, motivate you, help you, love you. your age won’t change how you’re allowed to feel about them. and i’m sorry to any younger fans who are intimidated by older fans, and i apologize on behalf of the older fans who make younger fans feel as though they don’t amount to us because they haven’t been here as long or aren’t mature enough to fully appreciate the new 5sos era. i love each and everyone of you, ok? xx
