I would often get made fun of for liking the band. I held no shame at school for my interest, but other kids believed I should have. If it weren’t for her, I probably would have joined the One Direction hate train that was going on at the time. Sometimes, her mom would leave on the MTV channel after a workout, and we would get to watch their music videos. I remember watching their X-Factor auditions and tour videos on the big TV in her basement. The girl next door, my best friend, would indulge in these activities too. There were many times when I would sneak downstairs to secretly watch YoutTube late into the night. This was also where I watched all of their music videos and more compilations of funny moments. I would make lists of the songs I liked, so I knew what I wanted for my birthday. On the special occasions when I was allowed to use the family computer, I would pull up an iTunes tab and play samples of all the songs I couldn’t purchase. Up until that point, all I had downloaded on my iPhone 4 was her music and Meghan Trainer. I had limited access to things like the internet and music streaming, so it was a treat when my Mum would let me buy a One Direction song on iTunes. My first memory of this obsession was of my neighbor showing me this compilation video, “One Direction Funniest Moments.” From that point on, the band was all I thought about.īefore the days of Apple Music, the only way I could listen to music was if I bought it on iTunes. It was 2015, and I was in third grade when Made in the A.M. When I was eight years old I found the band that changed my life. FEATURESOne Direction press photoCredit: R.J.
