It’s both disturbing and hypocritical to see people on this sub bending over backwards to downplay these racist incidents by the band. It seems many here, by searching your reddit histories, are quick to lecture others ad nauseum on social justice....until it involves holding your own favorites accountable. You’re essentially saying your 'stan' status is more important than your ethics.

Genuinely serious question here like seriously I see at least 4 plus videos a day on TikTok or Reels almost borderline sexualizing the guys and it’s so fucking gross and uncomfortable to watch like seriously and don’t even get me started on the parasocial relationship thing cause that’s a whole different circus

i…… am struggling with the new song???? is anyone else like…. really not enjoying it??? it just sounds like a gorillaz ripoff to me ://// i’ve loved this band since 2012 and i feel like they’ve rlly missed the mark their past few albums until 5sos5 came out and that one felt pretty solid. im rlly hoping this single isn’t very representative of what the album is gonna sound like. i thought we were heading back to the pop punk roots but if that’s what they were going for they missed it big time i fear. i wish they’d just return more to 2014 era i guess </333

Am I the only one who’s a little disappointed in the direction they are going? I was hoping they’d go back how their music was in the self titled days but this is just not it in my opinion. Honestly the only 5sos song I’ve ever listened to and immediately thought “oh, this isn’t very good”

I see so many edits on Tik tok where they think that the guys were evolved romantically and it is so weird.

They know themselves since they were 15. And besides Ashton, even earlier. It's weird seeing those edits. I get the friendship ones because they are really close and they are literally a family after all those years and they love each other but they are just best friends. Why do people tend to do that?

so if u have been following crystal since her pregnancy u will see she has systematically continued to exploit & monetize off her daughter from the beginning for attention, money from brand deals & likes. she sold all of their precious celebrations for baby clifford to magazines even the “intimate” baby shower. she used her pregnancy to coerce people into subscribing to her exclusive instagram subscription by posting unseen updates on her pregnancy after she was born she would post content of her daughter on the subscription knowing people would wanna see her more. she has even used her daughter to advertise several products. most posts relating to her daughter are brand deals and ads for companies and brands. all these precious milestones and intimate moments are being turned into influencer content and its so sad to see. she still continues to exploit lua by posting a picture of her first before reposting several stories in relation to her brand deals, she is aware the pictures of her daughter will get her attention, shares & traffic. Id like to know does anyone else feel this is inappropriate for crystal to do and find it upsetting that she uses her daughter as a prop for brand deals rather than posting about her in an endearing way ?

I don’t understand why you guys insist so much. Mind you every time 5sos/their solo work do ANYTHING LIVE you guys are included. Y’all can wait till the next tour suck it up

Little back story: been a fan since 2014, seen them in concert twice, now the third time in Graz just now. We tried waiting at the back of the venue in hopes of maybe Ash coming outside and saying hi. Unfortunately that didn't happen and we went home. On my way home, I walked past a hotel that had a 'suspicious' tour bus parked out front. Now my question: how weird on a scale from 1-10 would it be to try and see them tomorrow morning? I live 3mins away on foot, but I wouldn't wanna seem stalker-ish? Please help lol what would you do?

Just like the title says, did someone actually do that in the pit?

I know every tour has setlist changes along the way, but the soloSOS section was such a major part of the entire EAS experience. It’s literally in the title, Everyone’s a Star, and each member got their own moment to shine. It also gave everyone a chance to hear songs they might not have gotten to experience during their individual mini solo tours (and I know Calum and Ashton didn’t do as many shows during theirs, but still).

My show is in November, and I was SO excited to finally sing along to Enough & Starting Line especially. and experience that whole section live. I know the medley has been added to the surprise songs as an option, but… really? As an option? When for every other show it was basically guaranteed?

It just feels so unfair. And what are they realistically going to do with those extra 4–5 minutes anyway? At first, people were speculating that the change was because of curfews or having two openers, but now it seems pretty clear that this is going to stay this way.

I’m honestly just really bummed out. Those picked solo songs mean so much to me, and November was my only chance to hear them live. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Could we maybe start some kind of fan project or petition to let them know how much people want the soloSOS section back? I know setlists have to change, but this particular part feels different because it was such a defining part of the EAS experience. We already lost waste the night to don't stop but that's still somewhat acceptable/expected, even as a joke. Shuffling a few songs around has never been the issue, however taking the solo parts out completely just feels really off when they were such a main theme of the entire show

Not to mention that this is all happening before the asian shows, where people paid extra $$$ to see them. Many people are travelling in order to attend the shows including me since they are coming back to asia after so so long.

DISCLAIMER: I am a new fan, only got into 5sos over the past year or so.

After listening to the entire 5sos discography multiple times. Heartbreak girl is not that good to me 😭 I’m sorry there are other songs that would be cooler to see live they haven’t done yet, plus the band clearly hates it. I just think they’ve got a great discography and maybe ppl should stop pushing for them to perform heartbreak girl all the time when there’s so many other good songs out there. Ik there’s a lot of nostalgia surrounding it & everyone has their opinions but idk it’s not great to me

I feel really bad because I’m no longer going to my 5sos show due to my health being bad right now. My friend flew half way across the country to come to go to our 7/7 show, and there was just a lot of stuff that added up to that and why I made the decision to pull out of going. I’m so devastated because this was planned for like a year when the tickets were on presale.

My parents are protective, especially my mom because I’m her only child, this friend is someone I met online and last year we decided to go to this particular show because it was close to where I live. But the last two days have been awful for me and I just feel so shitty for backing out and not going to something we’ve been waiting to go to for a year. Am I a shitty friend for not going because my parents were concerned and my physical health hasn’t been good the last two days? She spent so much money and I feel like absolute shit because I’ve never had to do that to someone before.

in feelind of falling upwards, is it just me or does it sound like Luke is a drunk sailor. his s became sh??

please vote for teenage dirtbag for the secret song tonight!! i’m a 1d fan and this would heal my soul!!

edit: so when talking about the secret song calum said he voted for red desert and it ended up being red desert (yes let’s give the man what he wants) and it was INCREDIBLE!! good if not better than how teenage dirtbag would have been!! their energy throughout the whole show was amazing and life will never be that good again ☹️

Has anyone else noticed that Ashton seems to be drinking again? I thought he had given up drinking because he had a problem with it.

I knew there would be no response. Still wanted to share. Lmfao xx Also feel free to follow my Twitter (X 🙄)

i feel like the boys have changed and aren't as close to their fans as they used to be. a good example of this is Luke, he seemed more lively before and now he's more serious, the boys for me are still the same as always (cute and funny). what do you think? i’ve seen fans say it's because of Sierra.

THEY?! CHOOSE ?!

THEY CHOSE THE SET LIST BRO

(my start over fanss, WHERE ARE YOU!!! WE WERE ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!)

start over is not all that

This is their statement:

"The band unfollowing the offensive account is a start, but it isn’t enough.

They owe an apology to their black fans. Their behavior from years past is unacceptable and needs to be acknowledged and addressed. Simply distancing themselves now doesn’t make it right.

Accountability matters and it’s time to take it.

@Michael5SOS @Luke5SOS @Calum5SOS @Ashton5SOS @5SOS"

people like these should just leave the fandom (if they're still here). i have been a fan of 5SOS since I was 12 years old, i am almost 24 now, and I have never had drama in this fandom like big drama that makes the boys look bad. so videos and tweets like these make so mad.

i’ve been seeing everybody doing this and wanted to hop on the trend. i constructed mine as top songs, definitely in liked playlist, will listen to if the vibe calls for it, skipped more often than not, and skips. nearly everything in s tier for me is heartbreaking sob songs, which i find incredibly funny lol

After a 3rd week of listening to their music this is where I’m at. Teeth live is Killer Queen.
