5 seconds of summer are an australian pop band who gained success at a young age because they posted mediocre videos of themselves on youtube and toured with one direction. they gained popularity at first because girls thought they were cute and could be a new boyband. they got world famous quickly because of the fans and attention that one direction brought on to them.

5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) are an Australian band (not a fucking boyband) who enjoys teasing their fans and seeing them suffering. It consists of Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, and Michael Clifford.

Just another boy band for teen girls to drool over. They got famous after touring with another boy band, One Direction.
To claim this is not a boy band because "they play instruments" is just a way for their "fans" to justify their infatuation with another group of attractive boys.
The real reason for the band's popularity lies in their ability to be good looking and create generic pop hooks. Just like every boy band, ever.

Another manufactured boy band thrown together by a money-hungry corporation to get a quick buck off gullible 10 year old girls. Much like One Direction, they're songs are the same thing: make an anonymous compliment to some girl, so every 10 year old girl on the planet will go: "OMG! He said that to me! I have to go buy more overpriced 5SOS merchandise now!" And that is the goal of these people. They're fans say, "They're not a boy band! They play instruments! Boy bands don't play instruments!" Yeah, honey, they do. They can't play them WELL. But they do play them. So does OneRepublic, and they're a shitty boy band.
Fangirl: "OH. MY. GOD! 5 Seconds of Summer released their new EP! And it's only $340! Can I get it mom?! They also have this new 5SOS jacket! It's only $150!"
