5 Seconds of Summer is an Australian pop-punk [well, according to Wikipedia. Us fans have a different overview on it XD] band. They were formed by young Luke Hemmings (the one second from the left, the one with the lip ring and blonde quiff), who at that time had started posting videos of him making covers of songs on YouTube. Michael Clifford (the one with the blonde hair at the left) and Calum Hood (the adorable one with the beanie) joined the band after, and somehow, after a brainstorming session in Science Class, Michael texted them if they wanted the band name '5 Seconds of Summer' and because there were no other options back then, thus the name was made.
Little Luke way back in 2011 making a cover :D
The band started getting famous when they toured with One Direction, though they have grown quite a fanbase in Australia when they left to go on tour with the British boyband. They became the opening act, and it was weird because they played their own instruments, wrote their own songs, but they were an opening act for a boyband, and because they were [kinda still is, y'know. The day I'm writing this, Ashton is 20, Michael is 18, Cal is 18 and Luke is... 18] young, they are called a 'boyband' by the majority of people. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT. YOU DARE CALL THEM A BOYBAND IN FRONT OF ME IT MAY CAUSE INTO A MASSIVE FIGHT I'M SERIOUS.
5SOS and 1D [so um yea I'm part of both fandoms and this pic made me cry bye]
When their hit-single 'She Looks So Perfect' was released [yes, the catchy song 'YOU LOOK SO PERFECT STANDING THERE IN MY AMERICAN APPAREL UNDERWEAR'], it hit number one on iTunes in [I think idk don't judge] 39 different countries, and their career started growing from then on. Their first single [SLSP], their second single [Don't Stop] and their third single [Amnesia] all hit number one, and their debut self-titled album, well of course, 5 Seconds of Summer, hit number one on [ummm idk i think so??] 71 different countries [or was it 69 idk i'm SORRY I JUST REMEMBER SONG LYRICS TOO MUCH T-T].
Now the band is blowing up with over 5 million followers on Twitter, these 4 teenage boys [does Ashton count as a teen anymore bc he's definitely just a 3 year old trapped in that drummer's body] are taking over the world [YAY!]. But of course, old fans, the fans that have been here since Hemmo1996, shall always remain loyal, and keep the old references amongst ourselves.
PINK SPEAKERS AND DERP BALLS FOR EVERYONE YAY!
