I saw someone on TikTok describe 5sos as a 'trust the process band' and I need to know your thoughts

That's an interesting concept! I could be way off base without knowing the OP's context, but taken at face value, I interpret that statement as meaning that fans may not always understand the creative choices that the band makes but if you hang in and "trust the process," those decisions end up justified and proving to have been worth the risk. And I think that is a good and interesting point and has definitely proven to be true!

#i could write an essay about how unnecessarily cOnTrOvErSiAl everything about the wwj/calm era was with most of the fandom at the time #and now not a day goes by without me seeing some kind of extra 🕯️ justice for CALM 🕯️ hyperbole on one platform or another 😅#that's just one example but there are many!#it's so interesting to think about #the kneejerk reactions vs the consensus when the big picture comes into view #something else that i think plays into it is the fandom's tendency to joke about the band doing things bc they like being 'random'#or that they're just chaotic/bored/led by flights of fancy when they make certain choices #this is literally their job and they've been doing it about half their lives at this point #i promise they're smarter and more skilled than most give them credit for and every decision is a thought out one!#so that's my take on the matter 😌#thank you for asking 🥰😘#ask #anon
