Online users were upset about the situation, leading them to react on the matter, with one fan writing, "It doesn't even matter who they're talking about, the fact that this is the way they talk in general with ease is a red flag."
"this is so gross everything i've ever seen abt matty healy just makes me hate him more," another one wrote.
"As much as I love 1975 I always had a funny feeling about their lead singer, never really liked the way he communicated with his fans, also some his lyrics are a little fishy," one user expressed.
