I'm thinking they are all tripping on hormones.

It's the teenybopper thing. Have you never seen that old footage of tweens and teens crying as the Beatles took the stage? Donny Osmond and David Cassidy, I'm sure, have also caused many a tear to be shed.

+1.
My 2 nieces are devastated and that tugs at my heartstrings. I'm old but I do remember quite well the passion and love I felt for my favorite bands when I was young. Getting old sucks in more ways than one and one of those ways is that we lose our genuine enthusiasm, passion for things that are new and we become hardened and cynical.
Now got off my lawn you little *******s.

Finally decided to look them up. Not sure why they are called a "band". Seems like they are more like a vocal group.

Iirc, One Direction was spawned as a result of one of the British singing reality shows (maybe Britain's Got Talent) where each member auditioned individually, then as was the practice with America's Got Talent, some were put together as vocal bands. I don't know if they won in the year they were on the show, but they stayed together after the show and went on to be hugely popular among teeny-boppers. I don't know their material, but I have to say, there is one song they did that I quite like titled "Story of my Life". I find it to be in the style of "Home" by Phillip Phillips (an American Idol winner who is quite legitimate as a singer and guitar player, imo).

Never heard of them till some of those stupid clips were being played on the radio news while I was driving to work this morning. I hit the off button about half a second into it - I was hardened and cynical long before I left grade school so never much cared about trivialities like the affairs of pop stars and such even when I was young...lol

How devastated were the Cream fans when Eric Clapton left ? How devastated were you when you were a kid and the Ice Cream store removed Tooty Frooty as one of the flavors , give the kids a break ,

If I caught my daughter crying into a webcam like that it would be "say goodbye to the internet for a week" time.

No. They went in the direction of individual pay checks.

The glaring mistake to call the last album "four" (you can clearly count five people on the cover shot) is now corrected.

Neither one bothered me much, if at all.
