** Some fans will include in their main argument of why 5 Seconds of Summer deserves the success they've gotten is because of the fact that they essentially quit school to tour with One Direction not knowing what was going to happen next and not knowing if they were going to fail or succeed. The problem with this argument? They toured with ''One Direction''! A boyband with a ''massive'' fandom of teenage girls that were ''bound'' to take a shine to them, and ''did''! Given 5 Seconds of Summer are almost the same ages as them, they're four good looking males, and they play the same kinds of music, just with a light PopPunk edge to their sound, they were ''guaranteed'' a built-in audience waiting to spend their money on their future albums and merch. The fact that they produced over ''50'' tracks in 2 years from 2014-2015 spanning 2 deluxe albums, and half a dozen's worth of EPs, have a ''massive'' fandom of teenage fangirls, and have reached a ''ton'' more success even their predecessors have in ''their'' early years as recording artists, not only did this prove the detractors who treated that, and still do, like the ForgoneConclusion it was, it makes their fangirls suffer from FanDumb and OpinionMyopia as a result.

When you have 5SOS fans that are less familiar with rock and pop punk confusing their cover of Music/GreenDay's 'American Idiot' as an original song, there's bound to be some rustled jimmies. There's also a sizable amount of these pop punk fans angry about 5SOS fans calling the band things like "the next blink-182". These comments are either made by a very small amount of misguided 5SOS fans, entirely made up, or obvious troll fodder, but that doesn't stop that segment of pop punk fans from getting very, very angry about it.

hate dumb is Flame Bait


* HateDumb
** The hatedumb from pop acts originates from the same place as any other pop hatedumb: arguments over which act is better and anger over perceived slights one act has said in the media over the other. It gets outright scary when fans of other acts make trending topics on Twitter to either tell 5SOS fans to self harm or ''pretend'' to be 5SOS fans telling Ashton to self harm.
** The hatedumb from pop punk acts involves misconceptions of the bands gained by being described as a boy band in the media and the general rock fan distaste for pop music leaking into rock subgenres that are closer to pop than. This leads to pop punk fans specifically complaining about 5SOS not being "punk enough"...using acts for comparison like Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, and blink-182 that also get called "not punk enough". Traditional punk never comes up in these comparisons.
** Purely punk fans have mostly stayed out of it, with one big exception. 5SOS's performance on the 2013 American Music Awards got criticism from a few oldschool punks, due to Luke prominently wearing a Misfits t-shirt despite being on an awards show and being in a commercially successful act. These complaints got countercritiqued by other punk, 5SOS, and general music fans who mentioned that [[http://www.stereogum.com/1680049/danzigs-suing-jerry-only-for-putting-the-misfits-logo-on-a-bunch-of-tacky-crap/franchises/wheres-the-beef/ the Misfits are one of the most commercialized punk acts of all time]].
** Another prominent hatedom comes in the form of fans of DefendPopPunk like The Wonder Years, The Story So Far, Knuckle Puck and Transit who detest the band for "ruining pop punk" by bucking the "slice of shitty life" style of the aforementioned bands.

** Another prominent hatedom comes in the form of fans of DefendPopPunk like The Wonder Years, The Story So Far, Knuckle Puck and Transit who detest the band for "ruining pop punk" by bucking the "slice of shitty life" style of the aforementioned bands.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Prior to 5SOS, an Australian pop punk/pop rock having international success was virtually unheard of. To those that consider them a boy band, they're seen as the only one besides One Direction to have made it big in America.

* FandomBerserkButton: To put it simply, 5SOS fans do ''not'' like to hear the band's name pronounced "5 S.O.S". The correct pronunciation is "5 sauce."

* AwardSnub: Subverted. Although they were snubbed for Favorite Music Group, this exclusion is justified so that Nick would not have to nominate them against One Direction and risk either group having a loss on their record. This dilemma led to the creation of a Favorite New Artist category so 5SOS can get an award without having to worry about 1D, and vice versa.
** 5SOS lost to Fifth Harmony in the end despite being the overwhelming favorite to win the category.
* FandomRivalry: With Music/FallOutBoy. Many FOB fans detract 5SOS for being a punk-pop "boy band" and their 1D affiliation. It hasn't been nearly as bad from the other side, though.
* FriendlyFandoms: With Music/OneDirection, especially outside Australia where most 5SOS fans are Directioners who haven't abandoned 1D despite their newfound love for 5SOS.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Prior to 5SOS, an Australian boy band having international success was virtually unheard of. Especially in the U.S., considering they and One Direction are the only international boy bands to have made it big in America. What's especially exciting is that they broke a seemingly impenetrable monopoly that 1D had on the boy band market.

5SOS lost to Fifth Harmony in the end for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards despite being the overwhelming favorite to win the category.

though. This mostly one-sided rivalry gets even more stupid since Fall Out Boy ''likes'' 5SOS, even going as far to get into contact with John Feldy when they heard something Luke said in an interview taken out of context. Pete also [[http://insincerelypete.com/post/92800550669/i-felt-like-i-wasnt-going-to-address-it-but-i-see called out Fall Out Boy fans]] who were getting on the cases of new fans who got into FOB due to 5SOS.
* FanMyopia: Part of the backlash against 5SOS from some pop punk fans comes from this. When you have 5SOS fans that are less familiar with rock and pop punk confusing their cover of Music/GreenDay's American Idiot as an original song, there's bound to be some rustled jimmies. There's also a sizable amount of these pop punk fans angry about 5SOS fans calling the band things like "the next blink-182". These comments are either made by a very small amount of misguided 5SOS fans, entirely made up, or obvious troll fodder, but that doesn't stop that segment of pop punk fans from getting very, very angry about it.
* FriendlyFandoms: With Music/OneDirection, especially outside Australia where most 5SOS fans are Directioners who haven't abandoned 1D despite their newfound love for 5SOS.
5SOS. Some level of beef still occurs, though most fans don't get into it.
** Same goes with fellow Australian pop rock act The Vamps.
* FollowTheLeader: It's hard to see [[Music/{{McFly}} Mc]][[Music/{{Busted}} Busted]] touring with One Direction as a attempt to capture some of the buzz that 5SOS got when they toured with 1D before.

* HateDumb
** The hatedumb from pop acts originates from
the same place as any other pop hatedumb: arguments over which act is better and anger over perceived slights one act has said in the media over the other. It gets outright scary when fans of other acts make trending topics on Twitter to either tell 5SOS fans to self harm or ''pretend'' to be 5SOS fans telling Ashton to self harm.
** The hatedumb from pop punk acts involves misconceptions of the bands gained by being described as a
boy band market.in the media and the general rock fan distaste for pop music leaking into rock subgenres that are closer to pop than. This leads to pop punk fans specifically complaining about 5SOS not being "punk enough"...using acts for comparison like Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, and blink-182 that also get called "not punk enough". Traditional punk never comes up in these comparisons.
** Purely punk fans have mostly stayed out of it, with one big exception. 5SOS's performance on the 2013 American Music Awards got criticism from a few oldschool punks, due to Luke prominently wearing a Misfits t-shirt despite being on an awards show and being in a commercially successful act. These complaints got countercritiqued by other punk, 5SOS, and general music fans who mentioned that [[http://www.stereogum.com/1680049/danzigs-suing-jerry-only-for-putting-the-misfits-logo-on-a-bunch-of-tacky-crap/franchises/wheres-the-beef/ the Misfits are one of the most commercialized punk acts of all time]].
* OlderThanTheyThink: Wait, people aren't sure if 5SOS is a pop punk band or a boy band? Are we talking about [[Music/McFly Mc]][[Music/{{Busted}}]]?
**Music/FallOutBoy and [[Music/{{Blink182}} blink-182]], two of 5SOS' talked about influences, also had "boy band" and "not punk enough" thrown at them back in the daydespite both bands having a stronger punk pedigree than 5SOS.
