What are your opinions on Directioners?

[Name]

I don't mind fans of... anything, really. But a lot of 'Directioners' tend to go waayy overboard.

I'm neutral to One Direction because I don't listen to their particular type of music (neutral to JB too), but ALL my friends (at least the ones who are girls) at school listen to them. It gets to the point where I can't sit down and have a normal conversation without them saying something stupid, like "Nial/Niall/Nile/whateverthespellingis likes food! OMG I'M JUST LIKE HIM!!" or kiss any roads/signposts that they know 1D have walked on/by. A lot of boy bands have some loyal (read: insane) fangirls, but this is the first time where I've seen and heard the fans actively give out death threats to people who don't worship the group as some kinds of sex gods. Could be just because of how we have so many social media sites nowadays.

I'm not at all saying that all 'Directioners' are crazy, I'm just saying that the ones who are should learn to calm down a little and respect other people's opinions too. All fads will pass one day, and when it does, the rabid fans will look back at their tumblr posts and realize how childish they were acting.
