lol - I should be more knowledgeable on this kind of stuff. There are even picture aids just to clarify it all 100%

They're very insolent to dress like men in their late teens/early twenties after all.

LOLLL at the suit one. I can't. HOW DARE THEY WEAR GENERIC BLACK SMART SUITS. Those cads! Those shameless clones!

And the red angry circle of shame around the Louis / George stripy shirt has literally made my day. Thanks for that.

lolz!!

This picture is really funny indeed.

I say let's wait until they release their music to see what it's like, but they seem to be aiming at the same target demographic.

How about we move on from this "fight" though?

I was responding to your criticism of the 'chinny,chin' line and bringing Union J into the conversation becaus this boyband will be using some of the same writers that One Direction have used and they will no doubt be using some corny and ridiculous lines themselves. It is 'Pop' music and has been going for years. Some of the most popular songs in history have some of the daftest lines of words but they are still great 'pop' songs.
PS - I always thought I was one of the 'nicer' people too.

Exactly. Jake is just as lame and derivative as he thinks 1D is. He's a walking cliche with ZERO originality and the massive ego of your typical music snob.

P.S. I listened to a few of his songs after I saw his shit talking. He's just as packaged and image driven as the 1D boys are. It's just his image is "indie" musician. EVERYTHING in his videos were SO contrived it's hilarious.

He's up there with "credible Cardle" with his foot in mouth syndrome.

Yeah, I bet she was fuming when Alvin and the Chipmunks covered it back in the day too.

You young people kill me with your snobbery over music everyone was listening to the past. You don't deserve a cookie because you can name drop Debbie Harry.

Jake Bugg and his fans need to learn that a sad-faced WGWG with a Noel Gallagher haircut doesn't not equal talent. This child went in on Mumford and Sons too, you know. I don't give a f&*K about Mumford and Sons. He just hates on successful people and is looking for press.

Whether or not 1D hate themselves remains to be seen.

For the last time, no one thinks you're cool because you hate 1D. You hang out on the XF forums and root for people like Cher Lloyd, Union J and other flops not worth mentioning. You clearly aren't the bastion of good taste.

Actually loving this thread.

Youinchild, apologies, please come back.
Sorry for dragging you down Arty, you are one of the nicer ones.

arty is...

niall tweets: "Really buggs me that artists we're fans of, flip on us in the press !"

Good on him to make his point without insulting anyone.

1D are terrible though, they are the most annoying, overatted boyband ever! they are crappy crap crap, and have killed a good Blondie song. They are everywhere! it's soooo annoying, wish they would just sod off to America and bloody stay there.

lolz!! that's your opinion

Of course it's mine.

I don't know whether to find it funny or to be irritated by the amount of times it pops up on twitter by admittedly what seem to be very young Directioners. I guess I can't really be too harsh on them in that case .

But I don't think it's worth arguing over One Direction/Union J when the latter (well, Josh is, at least) are big Directioners themselves - although he would be bringing his general cringeiness to a whole new level if he actually said that. They think One Direction's output is great, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind having the odd cheesy line here and there.

No Japan would be better as it's further.

Dont worry though - they are half way through their timeline as a band.

Very true, and they can take their nutty girly fans with them!

Frank and Elvis were timeless singers. One Direction are not.

no need to take any fans anywhere!!: they have them everywhere and these fans can network thru social media thank you!!

I agree, I still can't believe 1D are compared to The Beatles! what an insult!

I remember seeing that comment on this forum - it made me laugh!!!

So certain singers are allowed to have songwriters writing for them. Musical snobbery in full force again on here.

Same I mean what a bloody insult, I bet John and George were turning in their graves!

Of course, it's called double standart!
Celine Dion can have writers, Rihanna can have writers, but it's not acceptable if 1D does!

Between this and having a crush on the gorgeous Rachel Shenton, I'm starting to think Niall might be the classiest one in the band.
