Top Ten Worst Things About One Direction

Worst things about the boyband One Direction.

P.S: Not hating. Just curious. If you don't hate them, don't comment. Simples.
The Top Ten
1 Directioners A Directioner is a super fan of the British/Irish boy band called "One Direction". Directioners are dedicated to the band's five members: Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and people associated with them.

Number one is absolutely correct, they are only famous because they are good looking. I don't mind their voices. Their songs are cheesy and annoying as hell but they do have okay voices. But the directioners...annoying as hell and irritating to the max. Some of them are like "I'd cut all my limbs off just to meet 1D! " are you serious?! They act like 1D are gods. They think anyone who doesn't like them is inferior. Everyone has their own opinion they need to realize that. If someone says 1 thing bad about them, the directioners attack them and go CRAZY. You'll see the most foul language ever come from a 10 year old. They are the rudest fan base I have ever seen, even worse than beliebers. Honestly, maybe I'd like them a little better if their fans werent so rude and annoying to everyone. They need to get their priorities straight

I personally don't like One Direction, but that doesn't mean I am disrespectful to the fan base. I used to think we could all get along no matter what music we liked and the Directioners could live with people not loving 1D. But ever since Alex Gaskarth (lead singer of All Time Low) said that he didn't like the song "Live While We're Young" and the Directioners insulted him brutally, telling him to "just go kill himself like his brother did," I can't think of that fan base the same way ever again. Alex really struggles with the idea of his brother's suicide, just listen to the All Time Low song "Lullabies." I still can't get over what a horrible thing it was to do on the Directioners' part. He's an ACTUALLY TALENTED musician who cares so much about his fans, and he didn't deserve that. No one does.

2 They're Only Famous for Looks

I have 3 or 4 friends who are Directioners, but I have one that only talks about One Direction and their looks. Just the other day I said, "I don't see how everyone is so obsessed with One Direction! " My friend gasped and replied, "Uh! They're sexy beasts! " That has nothing to do with what people should be famous for! People should be famous for their MUSIC if their an artist or in a band!
Like when I heard the song "Me Without You" I had to dance and once I found out it was written by TobyMac, I looked him up and bought some of his albums. Just about a year and a half ago, I became a fan of his, because of his MUSIC! I think I've proved my point.

I would like to say all of these reasons but I think this is the absolute worst because are plenty of other people that can sing a billion times better but have no recognition. I think their fans go overboard and say they love their music in reality all they love is their looks. Many of their songs don't make sense, all of them about a girl, which I personally think is stupid but other artists like My Chemical Romance or train actually have good lyrics. This is only my opinion and if you love 1D then I don't hold it against you because you can like whatever music you want to. I'm sorry if this offensive to anyone but they are my views.

I'm sorry, but I really believe this. I have a friend who loves 1D (calls herself a Directioner etc. ) but can't name a song if I play one at random. I'm an Owl City fan. I don't call myself a Hoot Owl (that's an Owl City superfan), but I have almost every single song I can get my hands on by Owl City. If someone played a song at random, I could tell you within 15 seconds its title, album title, album number, occasionally it's placement on the album, and whether I like it or not. And then I will proceed to sing along to almost every word. Ta the. Despite that, I can't tell you Adam Young's birthday, star sign, relationship status, tour schedule, eye colour, current haircut, or anything else about HIM. I can talk about HIS MUSIC. It was only after I bought (and memorized) 2 albums that I could even tell you what he looked like. Hi, I'm a REAL band fan. I care about the MUSIC.

Yes. One Direction are famous for only their looks. That's why I buy their album, to listen to their faces. As if! One Direction are good looking but they didn't get a recording album because of that. They didn't get into the final round of The X-Factor because they are hot, it was made with hard work and talent. Which you haters must lack due to the fact that you spend your time hating on good people instead of contributing to the world. I infer, that people who think One Direction are only famous for their looks are jealous of their fame

3 They've Been Compared to the Beatles

There is some truth to those comparisons though. Their appeal is very similar. When the Beatles first became popular they mostly appealed to teenage girls. They wrote songs that were meant to attract teenage girls. One Direction does the same thing. So in terms of popularity they are similar. However the Beatles wrote their own songs, played their own instruments, and were considerably more talented than 1D. They also went on to make more complex and interesting music, most of which is considered to be the greatest music of all time. Chances are One Direction will not do that. But the comparisons do make sense when you look at it in terms of popularity.

No band will ever be as good as the Beatles. The Beatles left behind a legacy. Even these idiot directioners know how Yellow Submarine goes or Hey Jude. By the time they are adults they will say hey remember 1D and the other person will say yeah and leave it at that. No one in the future is going to know the "Best" song ever. Walking across Abbey Road is a huge NO and they should be banned from anyplace forever for even stepping on it. Even other great performers like Ozzy Osbourne have said no one will ever be as good as the Beatles and they are the best brand ever. Dave Grohl talked about his inspiration from the Beatles all the time

The Beatles worked their way to the top to become recognized, while One direction relied on some crappy reality show. The Beatles wrote all their own songs, amazing songs, still popular after 40+ years. While One Direction get their songs written for them. The Beatles played their own instruments. So comparing one direction to the Beatles is completely mindless. I see one direction as 5 teenagers with the most vocally un-unique and un-special voices singing to a backing track 'song' and all their songs are so immature and are about getting a girl, not much variation. The Beatles have and will stand the test of time... I give it 5 years for one direction.

Okay
Beatles: some of the greatest songs of all time, they wrote and performed all of their own music, they could sing properly, all their music is original!

One direction: bad songs, can't write their own music, can't play any instruments, can't sing!
So basically all one direction do Is get given a piece of paper withe lyrics on it and read it into a machine which turns it into music...well melodic sentences!

One direction should be banned or put in plain packaging (Aussie smoke joke) to prevent Kids from thinking skill is involved their music!

4 They Can't Write Their Own Songs

This argument is very outdated. When the band was first starting up, their management would hire professionals like Ed Sheeran to write most of their music. Throughout the majority of the band, they have written on most of their songs. Also, the song lyrics used as examples in comments are lyrics from singles that were written long ago. The one direction songs that are not overly played actually have some more meaningful lyrics. Using the song "kiss you" as an example doesn't show the band's full potential, since the song is only from their second album, and it is a single that was written most likely to become something popular that would be played on the radio and enjoyed by people that aren't fans of their music.

This is NOT true. All four of them are dedicated songwriters who have been writing their own music since 2013. They are completely in control of their music, meaning they make decisions and don't rely on others to craft them into the band they are today. Their producers help them write the songs, but through the years they've gotten more and more independent with their writing skills, and now all of them write lyrics, melodies and guitar chords. The band DOES write, so say what you want about them, but you can't say they don't write their music, because they do.

As much as I detest 1D, having someone else write songs does not mean you are not worth of merit. I mean look as Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Cher, even Beyonce. They are all phenomenal pop stars (well Elvis is rock but the rest, this applies) that make their mark around the world and they are all legends (even if they are not songwriters)! So please consider it.

In my opinion, songwriting is irrelevant. Anyone can write words to a song, not like it's some sort of special talent that is required.

They do write their own songs now. Their Managment would hire people to write most of their songs back then. It's quite obviously their music genre has changed over the years so that's how you know they've started writing it themselves. And obviously it's gotten them quite far because they're playing to over tens of thousands of people at each concert. I just went to one recently and everyone was more focused on the music, dancing and having a good time. I spotted a lot parents joining in to dance and sing.

5 Their Songs Are Cheesy

Yep. There are no kids at my school who like One Direction. I don't even see the appeal. I mean, everyone on the internet gushes and goes on and on about how "hot" they are, but I seriously don't find any of them attractive. Sure, I'm not into guys, but I can rate guys like a lot of their fan base has stooped to. I've been told to "evaporate" and had cancer wished upon me because I politely voiced my opinion on the band. I wasn't criticizing them like I am now, I just said I didn't like their music. But honestly, I'm tired of the angsty pmsing fangirls. Their fanbase is the most vicious that I have ever seen, and I think it's worse than the belibers. And no, don't say, "Oh, but other fangirls do the same," because they don't. Even if there was a fan base as vicious as the 1D one, that doesn't justify your actions. You fangirls say that "they saves your lives", which is great, but if they really did save your lives, why are you telling other people to kill themselves? My best friend ...more

Well...lets get this straight! It's love!
And you can say anything about us but not about them! YOU have been warned! If you come blabbing more ...then you will see!
YOU can call them anything you like and expect us to smile? Wow!
YOU all those who got time to write about the angels who are kind, sweet and caring...are ambassadors of charities and love their girls more than anything...you all are peasants! And you can say as many times as you want that Directioners are rude...like really...you started it first! And anyway we learn from the best!

This is just, this is just SO TRUE. Why are every single on of their songs about girls? Seriously? There are more meaningful things in life than dating. Love is an important part, but, honestly? I think I could name more important things to write about than only love. Their songs also could make someone feel self conscious. Honestly, they talk about beautiful girls, long hair and all those cliche things. If they actually write their own songs, I'm not really sure what they think is most important in their life.

Their songs aren't even cheesy. You're probably only thinking of their old music and saying it because it was pop. They're more rock now kind of and their music has meaning. The songs reminding their fans to be who they are and not to worry, that they are perfect how they are, to own up to their mistakes, and to live while you can. P.S.- to all of you saying their songs are all about girls that's quite actually a lie. Two of the members are forced to stay in the closet about their sexuality because of their controlling Managment.

6 They've Ruined Songs by Doing Bad Covers

First, can I say that Viva La Vida, Wonderwall, and Chasing Cars were songs that they sang when they were on xfactor? That's what you do in xfactor. You sing covers.

Second, One Way Or Another was for charity. To raise money for charity. If you don't like that they covered it, then fine. But just know they did it for a good cause. :) and teenage dirtbag, well, that was something they sang on tour :) and in my opinion I think they did great. Most people who don't like it is because of the artist of that. Like with Wheatus? They're a band, and I guess people don't like that a boyband sang it. Oh well.

And how did they ruin it? Explain that to me? Because there are thousands of other covers of the songs, so why is this one bad?

I totally understand, how can they do covers and then just ruin the song, and blondies one way or another, they ruined it by a) doing a bad cover and b) adding something else to it, you don't add things into someone else's song when doing a cover fgs. And whoever said they make the songs better is talking a load of bull, covers are NEVER BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL, if you think it's better then you probably haven't heard the original because the covers are good but worse, and plus, they don't even cover the songs well, they do it so badly. Please understand that you are ignorant and understand that I am right

You might think their covers are bad, but many of us don't. They're covers are better than most covers done by other artists. Just because you're jealous of the fame and glory one band gets, does not give you the write to say that their covers are bad. And they have never stolen music, if anything people have from them.

They sing songs from their hearts not from some place like their heads just to get money. Maybe you didn't know this but, when one direction became a band they opened up girls hearts, they made them believe, they made them happy so, if you say one more thing that's rude to them, I guess you don't know how to believe.

7 They Can't Play Instruments

This is f-ed up. Honestly how are they a 'band' if they can't even play an instrument? I can play 3 instruments drums, clarinet and vocals sort of and I practically have no musical talent whatsoever. And they're supposed to be god-like? Vocals don't really count as an instrument, because if all you're doing is singing your music is boring and on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst they're like an 11. I hate that all people care about is they're looks. 'Harry's so cute, ' yada yada yada. Just shut up. No one cares other than you and their fans are even rude to each other when someone doesn't know anything. Or say their not 'True Directioners' if they don't something about them. Ever thought about their music?

They're just a bunch of idiots with no talent being famous just because of their looks. Even Death Metal bands are better than them, they play instruments, they write their own songs, their lyrics have a deeper meaning etc. They're not like these stupid cows who are famous just because of the little girls crying out there for them. One Direction has absolute no talent, none of them can even play a instrument and they still have 300 million plus views on YouTube, do they deserve it? Noo. It's just that people don't know what music is. People have very bad taste in music nowadays. Just because they're good-looking doesn't mean they have musical talent! I wanna scream so hard in those stupid One Direction fans ears, that after that they'll know what is called music.

They can all play musical instruments, just because you don't know the truth doesn't mean they can't. Seriously, do any of you do the research before speaking or do you just whine and make excuses to hate them? Taylor Swift is a piece of crap who writes songs about her break-ups, and you're saying that she's better than them? Are you serious right now?

This is true. Ok, TWO of them play like one instrument. BIG DEAL! There's like five of them, yet only two of them can play an instrument? The band Imagine Dragons ALL the members play a couple instruments. 5 Seconds of Summer, for example, all of them play guitar except for the drummer. They are talented because they learned something musical. Nobody has to learn auto tune.

8 They Are a Ripoff of the Backstreet Boys

I'm starting to think all of you who prefer the backstreet boys are just a bunch of forty year olds that have nothing better to do than listen to music that makes me gag and want to drink bleach.

No they are not. One direction is much more famous than the backstreet boys ever were. This is a fact, you can't deny! I am not talking which music was better, I am talking about the fame here.

They are they're own band and they're an amazing one. They don't try to rip off anyone. Have you ever even listened to any of their songs or are you just smack talking?

I think that no artists should be compared to others. I mean, I like 1D because they are unique, the Backstreet Boys are unique and talented in their own way as well.

9 At Least Two of the Can't Even Sing

Louis and Niall can't sing actually...

Harry can sing, but it's not special at all. His singing is the same singing like my mum in the shower.

Liam can sing, but it's boring...

Zayn is a real singer. His voice is just beautiful.

In most songs they are just talking, while the music goes on...
Sometimes, they start screaming. The girls think it's awesome, but it's really just screaming.

I'm sorry 1Direction, but it's true.

I don't want to hate over One direction. They are really funny sometimes, but that's all. It's a band for little girls, +/- 10 years old.

I don't care...

If your referring to Niall and Louis, then your wrong I hate all this bull crap on how they can't sing it's so stupid! Excuse me but did they not make it through? That's what I thought they can sing. Sure nialls voice was a little weak at first but his voice matured since then.
Louis- His voice is awesome and unique
Harry- Harry can definitely sing.
Zayn- he has one of the most beautiful voices ever
Liam- Liam has also matured and his voice is amaze balls.

Basically, Harry and Tomlinson are off most of the time during live performance. The only reason I used to listen to 1D is because of Zayn, he's the only one with a good vocal. He gets even better Now, which I can see why. You can't explore different mixes of music in 1D as it's so PG13. Just check out his latest album and you will understand I'm talking about.

Who can't sing. The ghosts members. Who didn't pass the X-Factor? Zayn? Louis? Niall? Harry? Liam? WRONG GLITCH. They all got in. They do this because they always know that there is someone loving, caring, and helping them get through things. When ever one is sick he tries to get better to sing for the arena.

10 Harry Styles Harry Edward Styles is an English singer and songwriter. He was initially known as a member of the boy band One Direction. He has since become well known as a solo artist with three albums, "Harry Styles", "Fine Line", and "Harry's House", and has had multiple global hits in his solo career such as "Watermelon Sugar" and "As It Was".

Man this section is filled with 1D fangirls, please go and annoy people somewhere else.
As for this lad, he's probably the worst singer in the group with his nasally voice, looks like he never combed his hair in his life, wears women's skinny jeans and dons boots with heels that put most stilettos to shame.
Dude is desperate to become a woman, which should be easy since he already looks like a girl.
He also flirts with his fans, who are mostly prepubescent girls, a real good model here yup (sarcasm).Not to mention his fangirls are the craziest of the bunch.

Harry doesn't deserve this hate! His hair doesn't look like a wet mop. He's really very sweet and an amazing singer. Also if you look at life from his point of view he's having a really hard time. People accuse him of being gay. He's not. How would you like it if you were getting this hate? I know I wouldn't. Please leave Harry alone. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. Nobody does.

You guys making fun of Harry Styles it could hurt him. So knoe what you haters gezz get a life haters. I love Harry Styles. Go had make fun of me. I have been a directioner for 3 yrs and some amount for harry styles. Shut up you haters listen to there muisc. So LEAVE HIM ALONE! Harry is a amazing singer and cute guy,sweet. Harry isn't annoying. So yeah I look at photos of him on Google not stalking. So yeah leave him alone. So here's my friend used tease me about harry Styles and my little brother still does. I hate the dumb haters.

Don't say that, Harry is literally the cutest man alive and husband voice is amazing. I could listen to him sing all day and not get bored! Don't even get me started on his perosnality, he is so sweet to everybody. I can't even believe people have bad things to say about him. I mean you are allowed to have an opinion but nothing is wrong with HIM

The Contenders
11 The Band Members Are Bad Role Models for Kids The Band was a Canadian-American roots rock group formed in 1965 . Which originally consisting of Rick Danko (bass guitar, double bass, fiddle, vocals), Levon Helm (drums, mandolin, guitar, vocals), Garth Hudson (keyboards, saxophones, trumpet), Richard Manuel (piano, drums, vocals) and Robbie Robertson (guitar, percussion, vocals) .

YES! So true. So true. I have no idea what they were thinking. Honestly, they know that their fan base is mostly young teens and preteens, with kids, so why do they get meaningless tattoos all over their body? IT's important for kids to know that your body is something to respect, not just something you can draw on all the time. It's alright to get a tattoo, but covering your whole body is something you need to think more deeply about. Also, I've seen the drug accident with Zayn and Louis, and it's really wrong to say things like that, much less to smoke drugs. That really disappointed me, because I thought they would have better control over themselves, since they're no longer just teens. They're nearing adulthood, and they're smoking drugs. The things that they said were extremely offending, inconsiderate, and unappreciative too. Making comments on someone's race, their sexuality, and about what they have right now, is not something to be taken lightly. The fact that shocked me ...more

No, actually they are not bad role models. Some adults underestimate children. They know that smoking, and cursing is not good so why would they do it? Because One Direction is doing it? I think not. If parents think their kids are going to curse, smoke, and get a tattoo because One Direction did, then they should talk to their kids instead of hating One Direction. These boys have contributed to many charities and have recently started Action1D. They care and they want to help the world become a better place. If you don't want your kids to make the world a better place, then there is something wrong with you.

They're not meant to set an example, why should they? If they were meant to, they are doing a pretty good job at it. Their personalities are absolutely amazing and they are down to earth. They've donated so much of their time and money to charity. Louis recently donated over 10% of his net worth to "Believe in Magic" and Liam donated over another $50,000 euros. Now please try and tell me that they're not setting a good example for kids. And they've done countless things out of the good of their hearts and have asked for nothing in return. And you're complaining about tattoos and smoking?! Louis and Zayn have smoked ONCE. As for the tattoos, most artists now-a-day have tattoos so why are you picking on those in One Direction? And fyi, Niall Horan of One Direction has no tattoos. Tattoos and smoking are personal choices, not choices that they're advertising to kids.

They taught they're fans that it's okay to be different, to try again after you failed before, to be different, to love yourself no matter what people say, have fun and ignore the hate/drama. That's not bad for kids.
If your're talking about their image then you're being prejudiced. Not because they have tattoo's makes them a bad person. Like Harry is the nicest person EVER, but just cause he has tattoo's it makes him a bad person? He's the guy who spends his day off by buying 2-3 grand of pizza just to drive around town by himself and give it to homeless people Yet, no one knows cause he doesn't demand people to write articles about him.. And just because he has a few tattoos, it's ignored by people.
If you're talking about smoking, then you can't do anything about it. I guess it's addicting and is difficult to stop. At least they're trying. I don't know about Zayn though...
You have to know more about them before judging, If you're judging them right now, that's the reason ...more

12 Their Songs Have No Meaning

Actually a lot of their songs have meaning.

Little Things- telling girls not to be insecure and saying their beautiful.

Diana- Telling people not to hate theirselves

What Makes You Beautiful- Telling girls no matter how they look their gorgeous

Gotta Be You- That some boys should treat girls better

There's also hidden messages in songs:

Where Do Broken Hearts Go? - To own up to your mistakes

Illusion- Not to be so heartless that you hurt people's feelings

Alive- Do what you want no matter what people think

You have to look deeper than just the beat to find meaning you know.

A couple of the lyrics that I've heard (or have been forced to hear) are relevant to their 12-year-old audience (smart techniques by their managers, targeting tweens. Justin bieber pulled it off nicely. Why should'nt you? ), but other than that it's awful. I find it way too childish. I hate criticizing since it's just how these guys make a (very, very wealthy) living, yet I don't feel too guilty since they don't write their own songs. I have nothing against these guys, it's their crazed, ignorant fans that I'm upset with. You can't claim that their songs give you reason to be aggressive/"protective" to others that breathe of 1D. They're company is just spitting out whatever garbage makes you think that these boys are "so romantic, so sensitive, or so hurt by the world. " give me a person who's feeling true emotion, and I guarentee they'll write 10x better, more meaningful songs.

You people seem to be misunderstanding the point of this list! we're criticizing them because they were compared to the legends the Beatles which they do not compare to in any way...I can't say I have much against them either...but the fact that all you pacifist directioners weasley your way in here to defend "your boys" is just annoying and in one way or another...disrespectful to us who want to read the list and here other people's perspectives. Seriously! Everyday it's shoved down our throats how great one direction is! I personally think that one direction is overrated...I don't like people comparing them to the likes of the Beatles...so what's it got to do with you?! honestly! Go play hero somewhere else!

1D haters are the ones that can't use their brains to find out secret messages the boys send to their fan. They are very straight forward people. The people who write a song about their fans while singing it to them. Lyrics like
Don't forget where you Belong- "If you ever feel alone, don't. You were never on your own and the proof is in this song."
Through the dark-When the night is coming we'll find a way through the dark."
Diana- " Let me be the one to life your heart and save your life." (cause she commit suicide)
Little Things- "If I let you know, I'm here for you, maybe you'll love yourself like I love you."
IWTWYAS- "One to make your heart remember me, so every time I'm gone you can listen to my voice and sing along."
Guys it's because you don't listen to their albums. You probably just listen to their singles. You have no right to judge if you don't even know the rest of their music. (free of Spotify) Anyways, they're doing fine and are already on their 5th ...more

13 Their Song "Best Song Ever" is Not the Best Song Ever

Obviously you didn't listen to the lyrics. They are not referring to THAT song as the best song ever. They say 'we danced all night to the best song ever, ' not naming the song. Looking back they've forgotten the song, but they remember dancing with the girl. It was the girl that was the 'best'. The song is arbitrary, made special by the encounter!

This might not be the best song ever, but its not bad! It's catchy and makes you dance to it (at least it does that to me). And besides that it doesn't say "this song is the best song ever". It says "let's dance all night to the best song ever". And also, this is so not a good enough reason as to why you "hate" one direction

This song is absolute crap. Seriously, I can't even understand why people like this. All those fans talking about how all their songs have meanings, you do know that all of these songs are composed to sell? A catchy beat, lyrics perfect for you to waste all your money on.

Well see the title over there.
Best Song Ever? Can't you believe that? Most of the music is talking about music.
But the title says that it can prove the best but it fails.
One Direction are groups and the companion to Justin Beiber.
I hope they can go to other direction.

14 They're Not Even a Band

Why aren't the many people who write songs for them and play the instruments in the "band"? 5 average singers whose success is due to aggressive overexposure (bankrolled by their puppeteer Cowell) and emotional exploitation of teenage hormones does not equals a band. To call that a "band" is an insult to all artists and musicians who actually MAKE music rather than having others do all the work.

These pretty boys try to classify themselves as a band. Bands play real music and don't go around doing the same thing over and over again. These guys need to listen to Jethro Tull, Rush, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, The Doors, Cream, etc. Music needs soul, not hairspray.

None of them are playing an instrument at all! (Except for niall and his guitar) The only thing the are doing is singing (barely) and dancing. I'm okay with a vocalist or 4 but they are definitely not a band, they are a group and that's all they'll ever be!

They are a band and one that's amazing. If you don't like them, then don't listen to them. But honestly, have you ever given any of their songs a chance, or have you never listened to any of them because they're by One Direction?

15 They're Ruining Music

I'm a 13 year old girl, and I have had my friends tell me that One Direction is probably the greatest British band that ever was. Upon hear this, I feel like I'm about to cry. There are so many other British bands that surpass them in all the ways I know: The Beatles, Mumford and Sons (my favorite), The Who, The Rolling Stones, etc. One Direction was never, nor will it ever be in my opinion, able to live up to the milestones in music history that these other people have left.

Their success is symptomatic of a desperate and shallow music industry that has decided that marketing manufactured garbage is more important than investing in true musical and artistic talent. The tactics of the people who are behind them (Cowell and co) have led a generation to think that "talent" is looking pretty and having your faces on cheap, tacky merchandise. Their fans try and use their fake, manufactured popularity and the resulting awards as proof of their "talent". Thank god I grew up in an age of Blur, Oasis and Nirvana and not now.

Their whole Fandom is saying that all of the songs have "meaning", and sure that's true, but they all have the same bloody meaning! There is a distinct difference between art & music, one direction are musicians, not artists. Every single song is about how beautiful girls are on the inside and how you should always feel good about yourself, now I'm not saying that's a bad message, I'm just saying they need to get a new message instead of saying the same thing in every song but with different lyrics.

As a 12 year old, I can confirm the "Directioners" at school are very annoying. I (personally) do not like One Direction. I don't listen to their music, I listen to things that I think are better, such as Queen, The Romantics, Simple Minds, and if course the legendary Pink Floyd. I was told "I wish you would die." By a Directioner. Okay... Thanks.

16 They're Not Original

They've copied The Who, Queen, definitely Leppard, The Clash, Grease, Backstreet Boys, Tenacious D. They ripped the Ramones' logo, copied a scene on Blink 182's music video, "All The Small Things". These are only a few examples of their unoriginality. Hell, the entire concept of their career is just a copy of the old boy bands like Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Westlife and the other various boy bands of that age. If there's anything One Direction is not, it's original.

I am done with all of this rudeness! You people need to stop being idiots because it makes everybody frustrated and annoys everybody. Seriously whoever made this list of things to not like about them is an idiot. Mind your own business and find something else to do when your bored. It is rude and nobody likes it. And I am sure nobody likes the person that wrote this lists of rude things. STOP HATING ON EVERYBODY!

They're just another boy band that is only famous because of their looks. Their music is unoriginal; "What Makes You Beautiful" is just another song about guys singing about girls looks. Where is the depth? They'll go out of style eventually.

They stole the Ramones' logo, the riff of It's Not Your Fault by New Found Glory, Pour Some Sugar On Me by definitely Leppard and so much more. In my opinion, that's a crime. Steal my girl? More like steal your song!

17 They Had to Go Onto the X-Factor to Actually Make Something of Their Life

Well, about this one. What do you mean they had join the X-Factor to make something out of their life? You make it sound like you join a national television music competition everyday. Seriously, what's wrong with that? And, even if they didn't end up as singers, they have their lives planned out they said it themselves, they know what they wanted to be. And what are we doing, exactly? Oh, that's right. Fruitlessly voting on a poll on what things are the worst about them while they've toured the world and all that shiz. Let's not be so dumb here. Like, " they joined the X-Factor? Eww! " God. If you're gonna dislike them, better be for something *rational*.

The X- Factor is the biggest challenge they've done. They had to practice somehow in order to go audition and not embarrass themselves in front of t.v. They didn't pass, yet they continued and went looking for a music management that would start their career. If they wasted their time, they wouldn't be known today. Now tell me, did they make something of their life? Cause their name is chanting from screaming fans everyday.

I agree with this one out of all of these reasons why 1D suck. All they had to do was go on the X-Factor and they were signed in no time. Real bands like The Beatles had to work to be a band which was what they wanted, they played gigs at small clubs and lived off little pay before getting to be the best and most influential band that ever has existed.

They had the guts to pursue their dreams, even knowing they could embarrass themselves in national television. I wish I could do that. Liam even auditioned twice. He perfected his voice, and appeared singing beautiful. At such young age he already knew he wanted to sing. If not, he wouldn't have come back and tried again.

18 They All Act Like 2 Year Olds

So what if they act like 2 year olds? They are at least being themselves. I would much rather have a immature band rather than a mature band. Plus Liam is mature, so he puts them in place when he needs to. If he doesn't need to, he is also like a child. They all have a mature side. Harry always acts like a little kid, but he also cares deeply about the people he loves and can turn mature easily, along with everyone else. Lmfao if they dress like 2 year olds, I want to meet 2 year olds that wear skinny jeans a graphic tee's. They don't steal songs. They may use a tune of the song, but other artist do that too! Stealing a song means stealing the lyrics and tune, not just tune. Not to mention, we all know if they did a cover or not.

Yes, and people who say that the haters act like two year olds are idiots. We have created a list of arguments against the "band" and why they create bad "music". What do their fangirls say to defend their favorite "band"? Nothing. All they say is that the people arguing against them are just jealous that Zayn is hot and that a lot of girls like the "band". Which is stupid because we also argue against bands that are of this type. Can you back up at least 50% of these reasons? I doubt it.

Ohh so you're 13 and you are pretty much feel like you're a woman and grown up! So you feel like that ha?
Well being like that is not natural
But them being funny like that is their instincts
So what they are funny
Does a BOY BAND really have to be serious and only sing their songs without any fun or somethin?
A star must have fallen on your horn

So what? Like honestly live life. Your are probably just a serious old dude with no life. Stop criticizing people you know nothing about, they had far much more success than you. You could be immature and still be a nice person.

19 They Didn't Even Want to Be a Band, They Just Got Lucky

"They'll never be famous again" means that they aren't going to last long. Take for
Example Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Backstreet boys, Queen,ABBA and many other artists are legends that are probably going to be around for years. Not 'One direction'.
Honestly, just five years of being together and already one member broke up from them. Already they say they want a 'break'. The above mentioned bands were pretty famous too, never did they tell us that performing was exhausting or that they wanted a 'break' until the end.

They definitely never planned to be a band, but they wanted to be a SINGER. They got their dreams. But if you're saying that they got it by being lucky, then you PARTLY correct. They had the courage to go through the auditions. The made it through all those rounds in the X factor. You really think that they just HAPPENED to be number one on the top chart?

Dude, that's how the X Factor works. It's not they were fighting because they hated each other. They had something called "talent," that caught Simon's attention. He knew they were special, and he was right.

How'd they manage to win over Simon "I'm barely impressed by anything and like to be snarky" Cowell? That guy seriously is hard to impress.

20 They Didn't Even Decide to Be a Band Themselves

All they did was go on the X factor and from there, they wee techncally FORCED into being a band. They can't sing, dance and their fan base only likes them because apparently it's the new 'thing' to become a directioner. They don't even have a bond, they only act camaraderie and they aren't even handsome. They don't even care for their fans. Words never cease.

This is true, they didn't even meet each other before, they were forced into a group, it was their chance to keep on X Factor, but anyway, now they can give it all up if they want and make a solo career.
They were forced to be friends, it's not a good thing for me, but they get along very weel and that's great!

This is their dream, to be famous singers. So what they got put in a band, they could could have said no if they wanted. They're a good one too, they sell out stadiums. So instead of trying to hate on them with not even auditioning as a band you could possibly try and find a life

Yea they didn't choose to be a band! One of them had to try 3-4 times to actually get through and they only came 3rd! Little mix Actually won the X factor and there not as popular!
This also shows that I agree with N.1 that they are popular because of there looks!

21 They Are an Embarrassment to Good British Bands

First of all, One Direction is not a band. They stand in a circle and sing at their concerts while other people play instruments for them and get absolutely no credit. It's pathetic.

Next, Beatles, Stones, Who, Floyd, Zeppelin, Radiohead, Queen, Clash, Fleetwood Mac. The circle singers are no match.

EXCUSE ME! Wow whoever wrote this comment oh so your a big time British band manager who knows all the top bands I doubt it so here's a tip if your a hater I'm not gonna debate or prove you wrong I'm just saying lisen to all the British bands and figure it out cause I bet you haven't heard all of them.

This is so damn true okay most of the bands that have come out of our country are amazing but one direction are just a marketing scheme. Targeted on girls with low self esteem. Also the way they describe girls is frighteningly vague

Wow, this just takes this to a whole new level. If you don't know, the queen has met them herself, and so many times, the british and Irish people have said how much proud they are because of one direction. Jeez

22 They Insult All Gays

Since when did they do that or say that! Please stop writing these senseless reasons! Don't think that if you write rubbish people would agree with you because your not worth it! And stop insulting other bands.. ( I mean 1D)

Some haters are like:
"One Direction hates gays"
"They are gay"
"One Direction is only famous for their looks"
"They are ugly"
"One Direction doesn't write their own songs"
"Their songs are crappy and cheesy"
It doesn't make sense at all.

They insult all gays, how? If you didn't know two members are actually forced two stay in the closet about their relationship because their Managment doesn't want to lose their money they're making off one direction

IT is an insult to gay people to act like them when actually you are just perving on little 7 year old girls. They act gay to attract the attention of children and I think that is seriously messe up.

23 They Use Autotune

Auto tune everywhere. On concerts? Don't have to expect them to not sing without it. They can cheat whenever they want without people knowing it. Seriously? The other fans are deaf enough to not know what they sounded like. And they are not being serious while practising, that is your idol? More like trash idol. Laugh out loud.

The only thing they actively contribute to their music are their vocals and even those are fake! We're heading into an age where anyone good looking can be an "artist" if they have money and industry power to support them. Musical ability and artistry is an alien concept to their easily fooled fans.

Tell me this, on X factor did they use auto tune? All of you guys are jealous that there traveling the world singing (cause they can sing) while you hiding yourself behind a computer screen. Oh and by the way go listen to there music acoustic or live then talk to me.

Well they stopped using auto-tune in most of their songs since their third album, they either re-record the entire song or use multitrack recording, which means overdubbing the incorrect vocal pitches by re-recording those specific notes or sections.

24 They Try Too Hard to Be "Funny"

I mean, have you seen their video diaries? One if my friends who is a Directioner showed me one and went "See, this is how the boys really are. Just a bunch if goofballs! " But all they did was do really weird unfunny things like pour a bunch of sugar in a hat an wear it. They really try too hard with almost everything they do.

To be honest I used to like one direction, until I heard the song 'Rock Me' Which was cleay talkimg about sex. come on! This is supposed to influence girls! But frankly, they screw around too much and try too hard, not really taking anything seriously. Had they not been famous, they wouldn't have lasted a day in my home town.

They were just doing fun things and hanging out while being filmeD. And what they did actually did make me laugh.

This one is so true they try really hard you can tell! I mean why did snl let them on T.V. !

25 Directioners Hate Taylor Swift

Hello? Taylor wasn't even referring to Harry... Get your facts right. The song, I knew you were trouble came out BEFORE they even dated. And directioners think that "harry dated taylor so she's stealing my boy away, lets hate on her! ' What kind of thinking is that?! And I'm actually ok with 1D, its REALLY the fans. They piss me off so much. Some people just say ONE thing that they hate about 1D and all the fans start cursing, using vulgarities, like what?! Its worse than Beliebers. Now Taylor gets so much hate just because she dated Harry. So do all of you directioners want the boys to be single for the rest of their lives?! If you go hating on EVERY SINGLE girlfriend they have, they are going to be single. I'm sure of it.

1) I love both 1D and Taylor
2) This is just stupid. Why hate her because they broke up? Swiftieh don't hate Harry! Plus, I bet most of them are just like 'Oh she stole our babe. Let's hate on her! ' Then when she does leave him alone, the hating continues! WHAT EVEN?!
3) Directioners can get over-aggressive and defensive but not all of them are
4) Most of the songs she supposedly wrote about him (eg: Style, I Know Places, Wildest Dreams etc.) are all really mature and inoffensive. Notice I didn't say I Knew You Were Trouble because it came out BEFORE they dated!
5) Get your facts right: the whole band DOES NOT hate Taylor, so don't accuse them of doing so. Even Harry claims he has no hard feelings about her.
6) I have taken a very neutral stand in this. I hope it helps clear things up. Like I said earlier, I love both artists and respect their music equally. Goodbye.

They do hate her. Like not so long ago she liked a picture saying something like she had an inmature boyfriend. Directioners only have 1D on their minds and directly snaped back thinking that post was about Harry like
1) she probably liked that pic because it also said that she was (referring to Calvin Harris) that she was now happy with a man she chose.
2) She had 6 serious boyfriends making the probabilities of this post refring to him are the same go rolling 6 on a die.

Do you expect harry to stay with taylor if he's not interested? do you want harry to live the rest of his life with someone that isn't right for him? I agree with the fact that my fellow directioners are way over the top with the hate, but seriously. if taylor's not the one for him, it was better that they broke up. but to be relevant, all I'm saying is the band doesn't hate taylor. harry even acknowledged her and her talent with writing songs AFTER tjey broke up.
