I've always found how media engages with disbandment to be absolutely insane, to an exhausting extent. That we either derive blame to the individual themselves, as per engagement: it's usually one person who's either most open about the disbandment, or they orchestrated such tenacity by leaving themselves.

I already have an issue with how media engages with celebrities - Chappell Roan being the most popular example of such matters at the moment. You have the world, and you're kicking it away when it throws itself at you with congregations of cameras, where within each crowd people hate you - dismantling the confidence you have through correlations and contradictions people are too insecure to realise are not true. These people, mirrored by the thousands of cameras, and there's something different in each reflection thrown back at them. This is undiscriminating - but it's perpetuated more when you cannot fight back - or when you do, they can accuse you of so much more.

I find disbandments entail such derivatives because it's easier to acculumate groups then singular people , it's easier for labels to curate drama, managers to write stories - it's imminent in its impact when groups are involved, because of how compacted they are. When you have bands like One Direction, when Zayn left - people were crazy. As they were with Geri from Spice Girls when she left. When disbandments are individualised, people don't mitigate by researching or having the decorum to take time to see why it happened. We ask what's happened via other members, and trying to create tension where they may have not been previously, or during the point of leaving. (we know, however, the spice girl thing...was...messy, don't ask Mel B her thoughts....anyways...) We want to hear others perspective to make sense for the absence of that band member, alone. Even when we know the management is meticulous in mitigating the band creativity, their slop is decisive to how they succeed. Even when we know the label is lamented fraudulent - treating its employees like shit across the board. Even when we know the industry profits of sexual assaulters and those who will stand beside them.

Furthering this point, it is astounding the amount of times I have seen the Yoko Ono effect happen to bands - or are narrated to be as such, as the terminology I've aforementioned is utterly fucking bullshit from some pampered prying cunt who's ability to assess astutely is circumvented by the cells combusting from their cranium, which sorts it smooth rendering them impossible to talk to. Agencies use this, labels use this as a marketing strategy - people fall for it every time. No, Yoko Ono and by extent, Linda McCartney were not the reason The Beatles broke up. Correlation is not causation. Wolfgang Kuhle was not the reason Frankie Goes To Hollywood disbanded, nor was Sharon Osbourne the reason Ozzy left Black Sabbath. Each of the groups would have dismantled, the media's recording of their relationships is derivative to their disbandment. Holly Johnson, singer of FGOT was suing his label and won - on the grounds of their mistreatment of him and his partner, Wolfgang, who was his manager. Ozzy Osbourne, also by all accounts, was going to leave from Black Sabbath; Sharon was already successful too. The Beatles were already having issues - and their relationships, especially Linda McCartney who by all accounts had a happy relationship with Paul wasn't the grounds of disbandment. The others in the Beatles? We'll leave that for now...I won't touch on literally any other wife of the Beatles. Not now.

If we internalised this into bands themselves - there are myriads of personal problems that can split the band up. The media however conducts this to blame to belittle individuals themselves. Which is fucking stupid, because half of the time - the bands are stationed by teenagers and young adults, who are proportionately not the most professional - nor conducted to alleviate from public pressure and the competitive industry they're in. Further perpetuated by cultural, familial and social constructs: that can be hard for a group of people, in the same exact position as each other to deal with collectively. It's a lot easier to distingish what makes you different from people, then your similairities - our humanity is vulnerability. Humans influence each other, yet the concoction of such influence isn't known by the influencer. No one can tell you how to take the news, that's your choice to be upset as a fan. The news and how it details disbandment, it's for the audience, the viewer. When someone has shown their musicianship, their writing, their composing - the derailment of their talent for "drama" for views is inhumane - unhinged. Having people at your door because you left a band is fucking stupid; criticising the music industry and people sending you death threats is fucking stupid. Yes, it's unheard to kick the world that's blatant in giving itself to you because of your influence - but if that accumulates a culture in which obsession is acceptable as you should have anticipated it. Doesn't that speak to our lack of listening, our lack of respect to other people's boundaries? No one owes you anything, including their lives for your entertainment, not at the cost of theirs.
