Here’s the most interesting part: a huge number of people are supporting both. It’s the “McBusted” generation. These fans have the emotional maturity to enjoy the chaos and the calm.
They were the kid who owned A Present for Everyone and Wonderland. They don’t see a war. They see a spectrum of pop-punk joy. They want the James Bourne energy for the first half of the night, and then they want the Tom Fletcher tears for the second half.
This is the coolest group, honestly. They understand that you can scream “Crashed the Wedding” in the car and then cry to “Transylvania” later. It’s called emotional range, people.
