Bands like 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction are a prime example of why we need feminism. Now you are probably like, Abby what the hell, those bands are both made completely out of males, why are they an example for why we need feminism. If you look at both bands, they both have a fan base prominently made of females. In the music world, both bands are not taken seriously. All of One Direction’s albums have gone straight to #1 and their newest single “Drag Me Down” is currently #1 in over 80 countries. 5 Seconds of Summer’s debut album went straight to #1 in 13 countries and their newest single went straight to #1 in multiple countries. One Direction has broken the Vevo record numerous times, and both bands have recently crushed the record for fastest song to go to #1 without preorder on iTunes. Both bands are currently in the middle of their world tours, playing to thousands of people and having sold out or close to sold out shows every night. So as you can see both bands are very successful, but their success is belittled by the fact that their fans are mostly females ranging from age 13 to age 20. When these bands have success it is dismissed on the account that their fans are “obsessed” and “crazed” and the bands don’t have real talent, they are just pretty. Do you think millions of girls who are in High School and College, making minimum wage, would spend their hard earned money on an album because the people who made it are “pretty.” No they have better things to spend their money on. People buy their music because it is good, it makes them feel good. If roles were reversed and One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer had mainly male fans you would see them getting treated with respect and getting the attention they deserved, not overlooked for the fact that females like them. Why is it so bad to have a mainly female audience? I can tell you why, society runs on the sole purpose of making everything women enjoy look like a joke. You have seen it with Starbucks, yoga pants, iPhones, even something as simple as Ugg boots. So now we have these two very talented bands not getting the respect they deserve, because females enjoy them, so obviously they are stupid and that is complete and utter bullshit.
