The silly videos, the way they laughed in interviews, Harry sitting behind Rihanna at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards and casually peeling an orange. Whatever crazy things happened around them-95,000 fans packed into a South African soccer stadium, the Directioner who forced his way into Liam’s hotel room to steal his boxers and wear them around for a day, a shrine to where Harry got sick on the side of the LA freeway-the boys maintained an approachability that made them seem a little different. He eventually returned to the stage, but not before establishing a precedent: One Direction was a boy band, one of the most successful in pop history, but that didn’t mean they were going to dance. In a watershed moment in 1D history, Zayn Malik bailed on The X Factor’s dance segment because dancing made him feel weird.
