Zayn, you really messed up this time. Just look at what you've done to your fans.
How are we ever supposed to trust you again?
Now he gets it.

What started as a regular Ol' One Direction concert which would only be enjoyed by the thousands of screaming tween fans clawing their eyes out to get a better view, ended as something far more people could appreciate.
Harry Styles, with his long lanky locks, took a mighty spill on stage.
In another world without computers, this event would pass in an instant.
Luckily, we live in this world.

In the same vein as One Direction and Bruno Mars, Amy Schumer explores boys telling girls they look great without make up.
We hate to bring back up such fresh, deep wounds, but Super Smart Person Stephen Hawking has some words of comfort for your poor tortured soul.
Purportedly, One Direction means something to some people.
So when The Cute One/The Bad Boy/The Muslim One Zayn Malik announced he was leaving mega-popular 1D, the earth stopped on its axis and the nuclear winter that descended reflected the insides of our souls.
Here's what that looked like on social media:

25-year-old One Direction fan Anna Todd just landed a six-figure advance when Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, bought the rights to her One Direction fan fiction titled "After."
"After" imagines a bad-boy punk version of Harry Styles falling for sheltered college freshman Tessa, whose world is upended by their relationship. Todd put the story up in daily installments -- some 300 short chapters spread out across three volumes -- on the relatively new Wattpad, where it was an almost instant hit. Wattpad's Ashleigh Gardner says that even before Todd finished the first volume, "After" was registering all over the company's internal social media metrics, with fan-generated art and custom musical playlists popping up on Twitter and Instagram. When Todd mentioned "Pride and Prejudice" or "Wuthering Heights" in "After," Wattpad had spikes in the reads (how the company counts clicks) on those novels on its site. To date, "After" has notched more than 800 million reads and ended 2013 as the site's most-shared story. Wattpad reached out to Todd, helped her build her fan base during the next two volumes and guided her toward a book deal, essentially acting as her agent.
At last night's BRIT Awards, One Direction won two awards, including the BRITs Global Success award. Harry Styles wasn't up on stage accept the award though...
... because he was in the bathroom taking a leak. Cue Harry Styles running back to the stage and ascending to his second form: Hurry Styles!
And thus, Harry entered himself into a long-running line of running memes that keep on giving (Prince Charles and Chubby Bubbles, we're looking at you).
