Hi, I just want you to know that even though I've read this before, I find myself coming back to it because it stuck with me. As a 1975 fan whose been around since the beginning and has felt all the things you said here, it resonated so much for me. I've often felt alienated at times with how the mainstream music industry has become increasingly soulless and people who create music gravitate more towards what's popular and profitable rather than what moves them. To have a band like the 1975, as divisive as they may be, that doesn't adhere to what the industry deems popular or profitable means so much. Having fellow fans who just get it means so much. I haven't had the chance to do so yet but you writing this has inspired me to share my own experience with how the 1975 has had such a profound impact on how I view art and music.
