Maybe because I was so sure that it was a parody and not reality.

this interview caused them to be shelved for 3 years lmaooo they were picking up so much steam with their 1D association and then moving into pop-punk bandom. it was hilarious to watch things change literally overnight. they only rly started recovering momentum in 2019 and their label had them on a tight leash but still manage to show their asshole selves every few months.

it was so rare to have one interview completely derail your career and alienate most of your fanbase.

And so entertaining.

like it wasn't that they talked about sex and drugs that was their undoing it was how misogynistic they were. the majority of their fanbase was just learning about feminism/becoming aware of social justice causes so this shit came out and people lost all respect for them. this interview was a case study in bad pr.

Yeah, it was almost comical how they thought they could be so disdainful for their fan base in an interview and expect to keep them. Talk about biting the hand that feeds
