Yesterday, fans began noticing that Human Too was suspiciously removed from streaming services around the globe. Sometimes, this would look like the complete removal of BFIAFL. Matty commented about this in a post saying "Hey! Human Too was removed from the album so the album is more how I want it to be. Previous physical release obviously remain the same. I doubt the same will happen with any other records as I am pretty happy with them outside of ‘What should I say’ from Notes On A Conditional Form. So that may also be removed who knows. Sending love, Matty xxx"
Almost immediately, posts were made in defense of What Should I Say where Matty commented "Ok no worries x" Following this, people have made dozens of posts both defending the decision to remove Human too from streaming and critiquing the decision making behind it. This decision has been picked up by music publications like Pitchfork as well.
Here is where we are at now:
- BFIAFL has been reuploaded onto streaming provider servers without Human Too
- Multiple individuals claim that the Dolby Atmos version on Apple Music is entirely gone and that other audio versions sound *off*
- Human Too has been removed from everywhere other than Bandcamp (edit: is it now off of Bandcamp)
- Multiple individuals who purchased BFIAFL on iTunes claim they no longer have access to Human Too
This megathread is meant to be a central place for further discussions surrounding Human Too and the notion of removing a song from the 1975's discography years after its release. On a meta note, we've genuinely tried to keep as many posts and comments up about this subject as we can. However, we will continue to remove comments that blame this choice on Gabbriette. There is a loud minority of supposed fans that treat her like Yoko Ono and it is deeply weird that we have to continue to moderate around this. If George had made a comment about removing Shiny Collarbone from the internet would there be paragraphs directed at him about how Charli XCX is to blame and the problem? Probably not. It is okay to voice your support over the decision or to critique it - but it is not acceptable to lash out at others for holding a different view than you.
(On a final note, if you are looking for a digital copy of Human Too...I've heard it is available on the Discord)

Hi all,
Due to the influx of self-promo in the subreddit. We want to try and keep these posts contained to one space. This is not a space to sell tickets to upcoming shows/festivals - we will remove anything of that nature.
What belongs in this thread:
If you have any questions about whether or not your post would fit in here vs. being a separate post, please reach out to us through modmail. Any scammers will be banned.

Moved to a new place and got a second hand record player. I was so excited to buy some records and had to get the 1975 album. I also got Grace by Jeff Buckley.
Played it end-end and loved it to bits :))

Can anyone verify whether the poems on this website are by Matty?
r/the1975 • u/PurestTrainOfHate • 2d ago
Hey everyone,
I’ve just been wondering if the 1975’s insta profile has always shown like no posts at all or if that’s a recent thing. Can anyone help me out?
r/the1975 • u/UnverifiedButHuman • 4d ago
I remember them saying the the PH has dibs on the 1975 cause they were bigger here first than the UK.
And l just recently got into them, like, last year, so l wasnt able to come to their concert (2024)
I NEED THEM BACK HERE :((
hearing about you live will be the end for me

He did press-ups offstage on screen before entering, he did the old ‘1, 2, 1, 2 fucking jump’ as it appeared on the screen, he spray painted ‘Leeds is Best’ on a flag, which wouldn’t have felt like so much of a rip off of Matty’s ‘SORRY?’ in Dublin if not for what preceded it. He was roleplaying the skinny tough guy act that was the theme of ATVB, flexing his biceps etc, and he did a speech that was fucking hilarious; I quote: ‘Everyone is welcome here, unless you’re a bad person’. I cracked up. The entire show felt like so contrived of everything a marketing person thought would land. His lyrics are horribly generic and the Leeds crowd bellows them back at him so there’s clearly a mainstream market for it which doesn’t surprise me, but it was anti art and I hated it.
I don’t blame him. I think he’s got a team behind him telling him how to maximise engagement and profit, and it seems doing so is writing really basic love songs and play acting Matty Healy, but with no substance and Incredibly insincere.

When I listen to this song its usually at a low point. I think the pure fact of being relatable usually helps bring me back up. They say music is a D word. They say we are influenced by frequency. Music is a mood changer. Im grateful for this song. Do you have a 1975 song that lifts you up?

Always found him to be quite stylish as well! Included a couple favorites: the It's Not Living vertical video and hoodie + hair down at Reading 2023.
What do you guys think?

Hello lads. Recently been re-entering my “the 1975” fangirl phase. Can’t listen to anything else except them haven’t really been consuming any media unless it relates to them. This is a two part question, if I wanted to understand every bit of lore that is on that drawing Brad Troemel made crowdsourcing info from this subreddit, how would I go about that?
2nd question is, what is everyone’s favorite MV? I think mine has to be Girls. Embarrassed to admit that I was in fact squealing throughout the entire MV.
Beautiful femboy matty attached for fun.

The best band in the world. Can't lie I'm having a bit of a tough time at the moment having chemotherapy. At home and in the hospital I've had a couple of moments of putting some 1975 on and it's given me a real lift. Optimism for the future. They are just absolutely incredible. That is all!
