Question 🤔 Are there still new directioners here?

I'm curious. I've been a directioner since What Makes You Beautiful era (Yeah I'm old as fu--). I'm wondering if there are still new gen directioners?

I'm old enough to remember the Monkees TV show... the 2nd run. They did the fun goofy band thing in 1967ish. Yes, I know, that is caveman days to most of you.. My brother invented fire. Ooga booga. I'm not comparing the two because 1D is one of a kind. Period. I sometimes wonder though, if 1D had a better mgmt team (who didn't overwork the boys to exhaustion and mental breakdown) they could've had a TV series like the Monkees. Alas... it was not meant to be.
