Complete Mess came on while I was in Publix and let me tell you, it is a bit weird to hear a band playing in the store while you’re listening to them on your phone (and also to hear a song that came out over a year ago)
No, I totally feel you, every time I have a random encounter with them in a store I'm like
Because it's always the most random moments? Like it's funny you say complete mess because the 2 most recent situations that happened to me were with cm and it was the weirdest thing ever because I went into the same store in different days with like a week between visits and cm came on while I was there on both times and I was SO confused. Slsp and youngblood are the songs that startle me less, because they are big, I also got easier and teeth a few times, but back 2019 right after teeth came out, I was in a random ice cream shop and more came on. I legit froze. I had no idea how to react to the situation (turns out the person controlling the music just let a youtube mix play and since the playlist had teeth, easier, yb, and some random rock songs I guess the algorithm thought it was a good fit? I was disappointed, I thought that was the day I was gonna find a 5sos fan in the wild lol) but honestly is so so so weird considering they haven't released anything new in over a year and 5sos5 didn't have a big radio hit.
these are around the timeline of the show (so like 2020s)
Nick and Imogen grew up together and therefore developed similar obsessions over things in media - Nick became a directioner and Imogen became a 5sos stan. (She's a hardcore Luke Hemmings stan)
When they were first getting together, Nick would sent various 1D/Solo songs to Charlie. Charlie's favourite 1D song is Clouds
Charlie was a Percy Jackson kid and he'd spend his lunchtimes as a Year 7-8 in the library re-reading the books. This is where he met Isaac, who was holding a copy of a novel that was adapted into a film that Tao liked, and the group was born.
Sai also read Percy Jackson when he was younger, and he used that to bond with Charlie when he initially joined the rugby team.
The two of them get Nick to read the books, and he gets HOOKED, then reads to Heroes of Olympus series and gets hooked on that, but it's because Nick has a type and Percy Jackson is part of that type
The group has a huge sleepover whenever they want to watch a new film, usually at either Nick or Tao's houses due to the bigger spaces. On occasion they'll go to either Elle or Imogen's houses.
They watched Saltburn and Challengers together.
Isaac gets them to watch Red, White, & Royal Blue one evening and they all LOVE it
Charlie develops a crush on Nicholas Galitzine
When The Idea of You comes out, Nick & Imogen has the August Moon songs on repeat
Nick often drives some of the group to and from school, and they jam out to throwback songs
Hey bestiiiiiie!! did u get a chance to listen to 5sos? and if you did, which are your favorites?
Hi babes!! Omg yes I've started my quest to become a 5sos fan! I've only listened to youngblood and a few of their collabs so far, but youngblood is such a great album and very much my style! I didn't realize I've heard a few of the songs before so that was a fun throwback. My standouts so far are:
I'm almost caught up with 2024 albums I want to listen to and then I'm gonna do a full discography listen for 5sos 😊
What are your faves from youngblood? You might have told me in my post from awhile back, but I can't find it for some reason
Be realistic about it, this is not about hope is about if you think there's a real possibility. And I think any song they haven't played since before 2020 could count as a throwback. They didn't dk a throwback on wwj but like, bringing the only reason back counts yk?
