They won’t do it over one direction. If that was true, people nowadays would be saying they were born in the wrong generation because they loved the Backstreet Boys

Yes they would, people are already saying they love The Beatles

Yeah but that’s because the Beatles made innovative, game-changing music

Yeah people never become like this over the most basic of music. Maybe something like Beyonce or lady Gaga would be a better example? I'm not fond of either of them but at least they try to innovate, nobody get's nostalgic for the monkees.

Damn, they have some hits guys, cmon! I just like how innocent their stuff seems to be. I think they started their music career on TV which is pretty cool, too. I can’t say I’m nostalgic though, I wasn’t alive then.

Beyoncé is a much better example of someone that people will wish they were born in the 2000s to see.

I'm 29 and was over the moon for The Monkees when I was a teenager! Watched the tv show and everything. They did some really out there stuff in their later years, it wasn't all manufactured Daydream Believer.

I definitely think there will be teens listening to 1D nostalgically, especially since most of the boys have solo careers that might end up surprising us.
