I'm struggling to think of anything I could possibly care less about.
What in the world is a "One Direction"??? I never hear of it/them.

This is exactly what they were created to do. They are a low risk, business model product pandering to the popular demographic. Pretending not to hear of them or bashing their music is rather pointless.
It's a much bigger sin, IMO, to be Maroon 5 or some other vapid pop that wears the cloak of rock.

I agree. Boy bands and teenage pop have been and will be around forever. Bashing them is picking the lowest hanging fruit. It's a much bigger sin, IMO, to be Maroon 5 or some other vapid pop that wears the cloak of rock.
That said, honestly I had never heard them or if I had, was not aware that I was hearing them - until I saw them on SNL.
One Direction has quite a few fun and very catchy pop songs. And their new album just added a bunch more of those to their list. I like a lot of their songs about a hundred times more than any song from a lot of the boring bands that are or have been popular lately. The guys are nice kids too, not deserving of getting bashed for no actual reason.

Agreed.
The Beatles were the first boy band
Weren't The Monkees also a put together band made by a TV network? They were fun too. I'm just saying give them a chance. They're still very young, and who knows what they will do in the future, but right now they're just making some fun music. Though of course boy bands and they're type of pop aren't for everyone.
Good for them - records are meant to be broken and U2 isn't done yet Touring is where the money is made these days in most cases.
U2 tickets will be at least 50 percent more expensive the next tour, they are just as interested in making money as One Direction anybody that says differently is living in a dream world.
Thankfully U2 is still making music that is appealing to the ear as well but they certainly aren't going to turn their nose up making a profit out of it either.
By the way Rihanna already has more "certified" album sales then U2 by approximately 14 million and shes only been recording music since 2005.
