Bye and thank you!
This is sort of a goodbye and thank you letter all in one. So, iām thanking you for reading/following/asking/etc immediately in case you donāt want to read the rest of this.Ā
First of all, sorry for dissapearing out of nowhere. At some point I decided I didnāt want to log back andĀ then I fucking forgot my password lol. But decided to try and remember it so I can give you all a proper thank you and goodbye and close this year and leave this blog behind with 2019.
Back in February I created this blog because by the end of 2018 I started reading this kind of blogs and I thought it was an interesting outlet, and also one where I wouldnāt bother my friend with theories.
I thought about leaving it back in March but I stayed to analyze media behavior about the boys (reason why I discussed about their relationships, since Modest! is really romance-driven about their clients) and also because new music was being released and I shared my opinion, so I stayed for a little while.Ā
To be honest, I never had some sort of intention with this blog. I just wanted to put my thoughts somewhere and that was it.Ā As much as I enjoyed engaging here and making posts with silly, unfunny, dry puns, it isnāt something I look forward anymore.
And also, while I still like the music, the boysās enviroment itās really tiring. It can be really drama driven, toxic and just overwhelming at times. I appreciate them on their own, and to be honest, those of you who have been around since forever, you truly deserve a medal, because while we can separate them from their music, their personal life stains their career a bit (whether is their choice or not). Your dedication and patience is admirable.
I donāt know if Iāll leave the blog up forever (it will stay for a while though) or if Iāll give it away (if I find someone who I find fitting and has similar thougts and ethics to me, I guess)
But whatever I decide, I encourage you to not change your opinion to fit the crowd. I encourage you to share it and make outlets if you find it necessary, and discuss stuff with responsibility and respect. Look at things from all points of view, especially if youāre seeing this industry that is really toxic and manipulative. People look to the other side but there are so many cases that have come out about mistreatment and so many that will come out eventually, sadly.Ā
I also encourage you to analyze the news youāre told. Not only about 5SOS (hey fucking assholes at dailymail that donāt know how to write proper titles), but everything else media show you because thereās always some interest behind. Donāt get too hard on it, but if itās something that concerns you, try to look at the bigger picture before making judgments.
Also, donāt get down the rabbit hole. Do it with responsability. Itās easy to get caught up about things about the boys because something is always happening to them because of their partners or friends, so know when to take a step back. Take care about your mental health! Many people can mock and think theyāre the biggest person because you care about your band, but itās nothing bad while you know your limits. Itās okay to get feelings involved with bands or art in general, because at the end of the day, theyāre sharing a part of them with you. Just donāt get extreme about a boy or the whole band or to the point where youāre not taking care of yourself.
And last but not least, I hope those guys get a proper management soon. Theyāre gems. Their music is fucking great and theyĀ were stuck with two rich kids who play with a computer to create music. It was disrespectful to them and their career, so their management can eat shit. The boys have been putting out great music since they began, but their career has always been shadowed by their love and sometimes personal life in general. Iām pretty sure thatās the reason why they arenāt bigger (though they are big but for some reason they donāt hit like other artists). I hope they get to understand (or maybe this is more about ashton) that they donāt need to put out an specific music genre to be taken seriously, or go on tour on arenas with another band for it. They just have to embrace who they are and their fandom. If itās mostly females, it doesnāt fucking matter because having aĀ āfemale fandomā is only looked down because of sexism.Ā
I hope that in 2020 and with the next release, itās all about them and not their partners putting out a show like it happened with youngblood. If you love someone, you gotta be respectful to them as a whole, which includes their craft that happens to be their job. I hope they do great with 5sos4, and hopefully thereās a 5sos5 without charlie puth (sorry i just had to) or any pressures from a label to sing about certain topic and in a certain genre.
After my final rant lol, I just have to say Iām forever grateful for those of you who asked, commented, chatted and corrected me. This little community here is really nice and Iāll always appreciate the outlet where we had respectful discussions and exchange of points of view. Iām not active in the fandom because itās really off-putting to me, but here I found a place and it meant a lot. I hope I could make you see things from other perspectives as you guys made me do. And I hope this place served you as a safe enviroment to give your opinion.
With all of that said, I wish you a happy new year. I really really hope you all have a wonderful 2020. Thank you for everything! :)
