One Direction Crowned “Worst Band Of The Year” At NME Awards

Truth rating: 10

One Direction certainly has a lot of haters.

The boy band, which was recently blasted by Boy George and British singer Jake Bugg, was crowned “Worst Band of the Year” at the NME (New Music Express) Awards in London on Wednesday night.

Not surprisingly, the singers weren’t present to accept the (dis)honor.

Harry Styles also took the title for “Villain of the Year” at the awards ceremony.

But the pop star was a good sport about the jab, tweeting on Wednesday, “And thank you to @NME for my award tonight. Gotta take the rough with the smooth eh?”

The group also received the “Worst Band” award from NME last year.

What do you think about the music mag naming One Direction “Worst Band of the Year” two years in a row?

    Dissing pop teen stars has become the thing lately with people with a fraction of their looks, money, fame, talent, charm, humor, fans.

  • Joshua

  • rocknmovie

    It’s totally deserved. They are nauseatingly bad.

  • Drmrboy

    I’m sorry but 5 gay guys singing shitty music is not a band….and they still Suck!!!

  • Janine Rusinovich

    ONE DIRECTION SHOULD BE CROWNED AS THE BEST BAND INSTEAD OF THE WORST BAND! I LIKE THEM AND I HATE HATERS LIKE YOU!

  • ab

    lol they’re obviously not the “worst” band. there is way worse out there music-wise and personality-wise. they are the most popular band of last year though. that why they’re the easiest to pick on…

  • Martina

    Well finaly an award I agree with…..

  • Martina

    Having an opinion mean being hater?!

    Having hateful opinions and encouraging bashing makes you a hater. People jumped on a trend of rabidly hating them online when they don’t deserve such nasty trashing. The media loves this because it generates more circulation and hits for them so they encourage it. Most of their haters are not even familiar with their work outside of the two songs WMYB or LWWY so their opinions lack any value,

    GC seems to love reporting negative headlines about One Direction instead of debunking gossip and false information which this site is about. One Direction has FAR more fans than haters. The article itself reflects a bias.

    1D has FAR more fans than haters. They arguable have the biggest fan base out of the boybands right now. I guess the site fails to mention all of the positive accolades and major awards they won. They recently won the Brit for Global Success and they won last year for Best New Artist. They have won 3 VMA’s, two People’s Choice Awards, three Teen Choice Awards, a Kids Choice Awards, two European Music Awards, and received nominations from practically every major music award ceremony except for the Grammy’s. They receive plenty of respect from the industry and public.

    Give me a break. The New Music Express awards has zero credibility in the industry as a serious awards ceremony. They also nominated Mumford & Sons, Muse, and etc as worst band. There are far worse musicians and bands out there. Even if you are a not a fan of 1D, if you have any decent sense…you would admit that.

    I am not going to get into yet another long diatribe defending them as a band. They can sing, Actually do some research into their work. They are also very appealing guys and they don’t deserve this level of ill will.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    Their music is not shitty. They sing heartfelt love songs. Not to mention, your remark was homophobic. The fact that their trolls and haters even deny they are a band is sheer stupidity.

  • Eupreso

    Success in this time and day is honestly not based on talent obviously,just how catchy your beats are. Their music can’t be classified as good but it’s not the worst. It’s pretty low on the scale though. And on a second note:
    Freedom of Speech, yeah?

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    Freedom of speech works both ways. I have a right to defend them. That also needs to be distinguished with outright slander and mindless hatred because it becomes fashionable to spread hate towards people who don’t deserve it.

    What an ignorant generalization. So you are going to claim that all of the successful artists became profitable just because they have catchy songs. Catchy songs can sometimes be correlated to talent. Many of them are talented and also worked hard for their accomplishments. I can classify their music as decent and even great at times.

  • rucrazy?

    How could anyone love this group and hate Justin Bieber? Makes no sense to me. Justin is smarter, way more talented, and certainly much better looking than any member of this group. Kids are hard to figure out sometimes.

    NME really ? Sorry NME . One Direction can’t hear you from the top of the charts. #sorrynotsorry ! BRING IT ON ! DIRECTIONERS FROM ALL OVER ARE READY FOR ALL THIS HATE ! go ahead judge us, you won’t be the first.

  • Caldwell

    Not that I’m hating here, but i found this hilarious. I have no hatred for the group, but i have no love for it either; basically the musical equivalent of a potato. so people; we all have our own opinions, and we should leave it at that.

  • Me

    What are you talking about?!How can they be the worst boyband?!They have MILLIONS of fans(directioners)!They are one of the most popular boybands in the world!!And how can you vote Harry as the ”Villian of the Year”?!That means you don’t know a thing about him …and let remind you that they are number 1 in 35 countries!!soo thing before saying smth like that!

  • Shweta

    THEY AREN’T THE WORST BAND I LOVE ONE DIRECTION AND ALWAYS WILL!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/jacob.bobo.9 Jacob Bobo

    they may not be the worst musicians on the face of the planet, They do however stand for the WORST part of the industry, pandering to the masses. They lack the true art that music so desperately needs to get back to

  • MusicProducer1

    do you know why the are the worst band? BECAUSE THEY EDIT THEIR VOICES IN THE COMPUTER! ON A SHOW LIKE ISNT IT ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT! Emeli sandé doesn’t! use a computer to sing beautifully

  • onedirectionaregay

    They’re still terrible, manufactured pieces of crap though. :)

  • claire

  • Jbiebs#1Fan<3

    You’re wrong… Justin Bieber has way more fans than One Direction… Get your facts right bitch. Belieber forever <3

  • http://www.facebook.com/jody.jones.5836 Jody Jones

    But if they had won award bet you they would have been there to get it. Hahaha to One Direction

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    You are a piece of crap and also homophobic. I don’t understand this level of animosity toward them. I understand different musical preferences but claiming they are just terrible and using gay as an insult is disgusting.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    Hahaha to you. They have won a Brit, Kids Choice Award, European Music Awards, Video Music Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and etc. NME is irrelevant in the world of music.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    Have you heard them live or watched any of their performances? They have naturally great voices. Quit making false accusations to justify your nastiness.

  • http://twitter.com/Miadodi Anon

    Where do you get off calling me a bitch? I got my facts right. I didn’t even mention Bieber in that post. You are jealous, crazed, and spiteful fan girl.
