- BTS has ruined my life.
Do you think Zayn leaving was a good thing?
- You look like you're about to go to Camp Rock.
- They're perfect, beautiful, smell good, sweet.
(upbeat music)
- My name is Lindsay, and I'm a Buzzfeed producer
and professional fangirl.
I'm gonna be challenging myself
to wear boy band merch for an entire week.
Which isn't really a challenge, let's be real.
I stan so many bands,
but I've chosen five for this week,
okay, Monday through Friday.
The goal here is to make full-on looks out of this merch,
and not just to wear a T-shirt and jeans.
For Monday, I wanted to start
where my fangirl heart blossomed first.
The Jonas Brothers.
This was the first band where I knew their birthdays,
their ex-girlfriends, their bodyguards names,
their allergies.
Nick is diabetic.
One of my good friends has a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.
There was one she had that was like,
this weird gray, and the best part of it
is that Kevin is the center of the shirt.
Oh my God.
No shame on Kevin,
like everyone (beep) loves Kevin.
But, like, everyone knows that Kevin
is never in the front of the band in the pictures.
So, I was just like this is the shirt I am wearing.
Happy Jonas Brothers Day.
I think I have figured out an outfit.
I decided to go for a leather skirt vibe.
The fun part of this outfit is, oh!
Honestly, the Jonas brothers remind me
a lot of Texas, just because I grew up there.
They did live in Texas for a while.
It is a vibe.
And, that was a goal.
A vibe.
(rock music)
I need to clean my bathroom.
I cannot express to you enough
how in high school, I actually thought
that I was going to marry Nick Jonas.
It wasn't just, like, a oh it would be nice,
like, no, I actually thought
we were meant to be together,
and this was going to happen for us.
(sad music)
Sometimes dreams don't come true.
(beep)
What do you think of my outfit today?
- What am I supposed to be seeing?
Other than the fact that there's a
Jonas Brothers shirt with all of them looking very young.
- You look like you're about to go to Camp Rock.
And that's what makes me happy about it, actually.
- Am I ready for the final jam?
- You're doing your final jam.
What's your number?
- This is real, this is me.
- I'm exactly who I am.
Copyright.
(beep)
- Yes, yes.
Are you gonna wear this with,
when we go to the Jonas Brothers concert?
- Maybe.
I've been making YouTube videos since I was 12.
- Oh wow, oh my God.
- First one I'm gonna show you is from eighth grade.
- Puberty.
Wow.
- You can't hear it,
but it's time for me to fly.
This is Nick Jonas's voice.
- Are you lip-syncing? - Yes.
I hate this so much.
(laughter)
- And these Buckle jeans.
- It's a Hannah Montana at its finest.
- Wow.
This is like a Disney Channel dream right now.
- Yeah.
- Yes choreography.
Oh my.
(laughter)
Please send me this link.
- This is "Year 3000,"
which you can hear the song in your head,
even though we can't legally play it right now.
The fade.
- The pull out into the fade.
Wow.
- Ready for it?
My editing.
- Oh my God.
(laughter)
It's so wholesome.
- Oh, I didn't date.
I didn't kiss boys.
I made videos in my bedroom.
- It's so cute.
- I've only known how to do this my whole life.
- I see.
- It's close enough.
- I've heard a lot of people say,
"I was born to work at Buzzfeed,"
and I feel like it's never applied,
until this moment.
(laughter)
- Tuesday!
CNCO.
If you've never heard of them,
what are you doing with your life?
I got invited to their concert.
I was like, "Oh this is going to be fun,
I'm not gonna, like, get obsessed with them."
They were so good live.
We got to meet them backstage,
which was a spiritual experience.
They kissed you on the cheek
because they're Latin.
I was blessed.
How many times?
Five times.
Right here.
I really hope they're not watching this.
They have tour merch with their faces on it,
but they also have these crop sweatshirts,
that are like pink, and they say
Mamita on it.
They have beanies.
Another day, another messy bathroom.
Today is CNCO Day,
I have taken upon myself
to cut.
Yes, I said cut the shirt.
If you're offended, I apologize.
We're doing this in the name of fashion.
Did I cut their faces?
Okay, good.
I was actually planning to try to make an outfit
out of the hoodie,
but then I put on the crop top and I was like,
this is really cute.
So, I paired this crop top with these blue pants.
I kind of just love how the yellow looks with the blue.
Guys, I really like this look.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Hello. - Aw.
It's my boys.
CNCO.
You're literally on her boobs.
- Did you cut this?
- I wish everyone didn't know that,
because I feel like I cut it bad.
- No. - Oh.
- Oh my God.
- They also have this hoodie that I was gonna wear, but.
- Excuse me, where's my sweatshirt?
- Give Joyce a sweatshirt.
- Where's my sweatshirt?
(gasps)
- Can I have this?
- No.
I thought it would be fun
if we took a "Which CNCO Member Is Your Soulmate"
Buzzfeed quiz.
- They're perfect, beautiful, smell good, sweet.
- How do they smell?
- Expensive.
- I don't really have a favorite.
It changes everyday.
Maybe depending on if they post
a shirtless pic that day,
that's my favorite.
What's your favorite CNCO song?
"Pretend" is definitely mine.
What do you usually do on Instagram?
Lurk on my crush.
(laughter)
Me.
I lurk so much.
- You're a lurker. - I'm a lurker.
Pick a boy band.
Oh, (beep).
- Do you know who B2K is?
- No.
- See that's for those black fan girls.
- I'm gonna obviously have to choose "Pretty much."
- B2K.
- How would your friends describe you?
- I would put talented for you.
- Oh, thanks.
You're like the most caring person at Buzzfeed ever.
- Aw!
- Joyce is literally, like,
all of our therapists.
- 'Cus I'm nosey.
- I told you.
- You got Richard.
- I knew Richard.
Love you baby.
Ain't he a good father?
- I got Joel.
Here's the thing.
Joel, is I think the most like me.
- Yes he is.
He's innocent,
has repressed sexuality.
(beep)
So I did an outfit change.
Going to a fried chicken opening.
I wanted to dress comfortable,
so I put on the sweatshirt.
This is the comfiest sweatshirt ever.
- 'Cus my boys are the bestest!
- One Direction.
I don't think words
could fully describe how much One Direction means to me.
They have made me laugh through the hardest times,
pretty much got me through college, basically.
They're the reason I have some of my best friends
that I have today.
That was the first time
that I really felt like I was part of
a fangirl community,
and I felt like we were part of something,
just like, bigger, than ourselves.
I know they're on a break,
they're not broken up, okay?
I'm not one of those fans
that "You said they're broken up".
No, they're coming back.
I have one official merch,
and it is the 2012 Up All Night Tour.
The UK one.
I have a little bit of armpit sweat under there
because I've worn it so many times,
but it's vintage.
It's One Direction Day!
Listen, I had the roughest time this morning
figuring out how to style this shirt
because I've worn it so many times.
I decided to go for a bucket hat situation.
And then I have these fun pants.
I don't know if I totally love it as much
as I've styled this shirt before,
but it's a different vibe and I'm comfortable.
(relaxed music)
What do you think of my outfit today?
- Aw.
It's what makes you beautiful.
- Ah!
- I love this look.
Literally, like, 20, 30 years from now
like, this shirt will be worth a lot.
- Not for a million dollars.
I'm not sellin' this shirt.
(laughter)
- You might for a million dollars.
- Welp.
- You always look great, Lindsey.
- Aw. - Yeah.
You know how to style.
- You could be in a boy band Gutio.
- I should, right?
- Show me some moves.
Show me some moves.
(energetic music)
Hey!
Harry's my favorite, obviously.
I mean, you can probably see that
seeping through my skin right now.
He's all over my life,
like, I am a firm believer in surrounding yourself
with things that make you happy.
So, I surround myself with Harry Styles.
Math.
Who's your favorite member of One Direction?
- It's Zayn.
- Harry.
(gasps)
- Good job. - Good job.
- I really just love the Jonas Brothers.
I was never a One Direction-er, so.
- Direction-er.
- What did I say?
- One Direction-er.
- Isn't that what you call it?
- It's fine, Ryan? (laughs)
Rapid fire One Direction Q and A.
All right, first One--
Oh my God.
Harry back then, or Harry now?
Oh.
Harry now.
Do you think Zayn leaving was a good thing?
Yes, and no.
Him leaving was the right thing to do,
but you shouldn't have left
during the middle of a tour.
And that's the tea.
My favorite song is probably "Perfect."
Worst One D song?
"It Stole My Heart."
You can't convince me otherwise.
I hate that song.
What is your favorite fanfic involving the members?
I wouldn't say I have a favorite fanfic,
but let's not forget the viral
imagine from the hospital you woke up
from heart surgery, and Zayn was like gone
because he gave you his heart.
(beep)
Thursday is for Prettymuch.
- Who assigned me Thursday, bro?
- You look like a Thursday.
- So, I started liking Prettymuch in the Fall of 2017.
I told our celeb editor at the time,
"Hey, if you ever get a pitch from them,
I have an idea for a video."
People are like, oh what are they like in real life?
They're like, exactly what they're like on video.
They're crazy.
(laughs)
Since then, we made three videos together,
and I've been showin' a little shoulder ever since.
- You show a little shoulder?
- So these boys have so much merch.
They sent me a fanny pack,
a purple T-shirt.
I've worn that lots of times,
mostly to bed, it's very soft.
A white hoodie, with bubble letters
that say Prettymuch.
And, they gave me specific instructions
that I should color in the bubble letters.
I am not a good artist,
but I feel like for this,
and for them, I will do it.
All right, so I'm about to embark into coloring.
Not gonna lie, I'm nervous.
I feel like I'm not in much
of a creative mood.
So I'm just gonna color how I feel.
Let's do this.
(upbeat music)
Happy Prettymuch Day!
Am I an artist?
No.
There's a reason that I make art,
on the computer, and not in real life.
That's a boy band pun.
Because my shirt is so beautiful,
and my drawing skills looks like a third-grader did it,
I went for more of a I'm in third grade
in the 80's vibe.
Very good quality scrunchies.
They are tight.
They are secure.
They are present.
When I think of Prettymuch and their style,
I think of color, so I think this is definitely
doing it justice.
I hope.
Oh, look who it is.
What do you think of my outfit today?
- You mean that sweatshirt
that you were viscously coloring yesterday?
- I think it's cute.
It's simple.
It's chic.
It's colorful.
Yeah, you look cute.
Prettymuch.
- Oh, here we are again my friend.
(laughs)
I love this one.
Wait is this hand made?
It looks good, but you have a lot of time on your hands.
- Yeah, it was a long time.
- Wow, you did a really good job.
How long did this take?
Probably too much time.
- Yeah.
Woohoo!
- Woo-hoo!
You gotta' say it right when you say woo-hoo.
Woo-hoo!
That's how Prettymuch says it.
Yeah, it's Prettymuch! - You have a Buzzfeed.
You have an ice-cream, a cow,
a donut, a wiggly, a banana.
- You can tell it's a donut?
- Oh, it's great!
I would buy this.
Let me see the front. (gasps)
- You gotta' start your own design thing.
I want something like this. (gasps)
But I know damn well I'm not gonna do it.
- I mean if you pay me money, I'll do it.
- I'll pay you. - Oh!
I'm just super into the fact that, like,
you can create merch
but then also have the fan put themselves
and their creativity in it.
- Are you vlogging?
- Maybe.
- You're cute, bye! (laughs)
- Their merch might be some of my favs so far.
That's the tea.
BTS has ruined my life.
I did not sign up for this.
I did not have time for this.
I have a full-time love for Harry Styles,
and I did not have time to like another boy band.
Like, okay.
I'm shaking right now.
From a very new army,
I went to their concert at the Rose Bowl,
not knowing much about them at all.
That was probably the seed that got planted in my heart,
and then ever since then it's just been,
(joyful music)
BTS has what I think is like,
I don't know the Walmart or Target of merch stores.
It's massive.
There's tabs.
There's categories.
You can buy their shoes.
So, what I decided to pick out is,
it's a Love Yourself Tour T-shirt.
It's just white.
It has all the boys faces on it.
There's some flowers, it's pink,
it's very cute.
Got the J-Hope earring,
and it has a little cuff,
and then there's like, a little star.
I really wanted to really go for the
you know, Love Yourself theme,
but I think love just threw up everywhere.
Like, is this good?
I'm struggling so hard right now.
I feel like Jungkook would know what to do.
He's literally good at everything.
You know what, today I'm gonna
practice loving myself,
even though I feel I little uncomfortable right now.
I mean, I do like the beret,
I do like the lipstick,
I just don't usually wear skirts,
and I don't usually wear red.
Today is the day that J-Hope and the Becky G
music video just came out,
so, like, the fact that today is my BTS Day
is very odd.
In the last five minutes that I've talked to you,
I've gone from hating this outfit,
to somewhat, oh I actually think this is
a good outfit.
And, if people don't like it,
that means you're doing something right,
because that means you're doing something different.
Their whole message is preaching self-love,
and I feel like they're the first band
that, like, truly has inspired me
to be a better person and work harder.
I texted Ryan this morning and was like,
"Does this look bad?"
and he was like, "It's cute,
but it's not really your vibe."
And I was like, "That's why I'm nervous."
- But that's the point of the video,
is you're suppose to be styling,
and putting yourself past your comfort zone.
- Yes. - This is it.
(laughs)
- What band is this?
- This is BTS.
- Oh, wow.
- You smell so good.
- Oh, thank you.
- Love it, I could see you in Paris,
on one of those canoes.
Or, is that in Italy?
Where they have that little lake,
and the canoes that do that shit?
(beep)
- We're on a mission.
We're going to Starbucks,
and we're going to order some of their fave drinks.
My bias is Jungkook.
Apologies if I'm saying this terribly.
I'm new, my bias wrecker is RM.
- So this is Jungkook's order.
Matcha latte's and caramel frappuccino's.
- Oh my God.
I love both of those things.
We're meant to be together.
Just kidding.
- J-Hope, I like him.
- We all love J-Hope.
- Flat out, vanilla latte.
That's me.
- Can I have a tall vanilla latte?
And a tall caramel frappuccino?
Cheers!
- Yum. - Jungkook is sweet.
He's the baby of the group,
so it makes sense he gets something like this.
- J-Hope is the hot one,
so it makes him get something like this.
- [Together] They're all the hot one.
(laughs)
So this day I get a lot of people being like,
"Aren't you too old to fangirl?"
like, a lot of hate.
And I always just remind myself,
that there's nothing wrong
with surrounding yourself with things
that make you happy.
At the end of the day, fangirls just love to love,
and there's nothing wrong with that.
And, you should be proud, if you're one of those people.
Let me know in the comments,
what you're favorite boy band is.
Peace, love, Harry Styles.
(dramatic music)
