The Directioners

This week, Lauren and Sophie come to you from North Carolina in a heroic return to our favorite topic: One Direction. Last episode, we talked about the history of the fangirl. Today, we take a deeper look at the One Direction fandom and examine how this history applies to Directioners. We talk teen magazines, internet language, and the difference between Carrots and Directionators. If you love One Direction, this is your episode! As they all are, of course. CW: references to self harm and suicidal language.
