“Who’s to say that young girls who like pop music — short for popular, right? — have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy?” the 23-year-year old responded.
Journalist Katherine Speller posted the excerpt online, with the caption, “My kink is Harry Styles respecting teen girls and their pure unironic enjoyment of things, thank u.”
Gaskarth reposted Speller’s post about Styles’ comments, writing “He nailed it.” In a follow-up tweet, the singer wrote, “Been asked questions like this before: Do we worry that some of our fanbase is young, etc. as if it carries some kind of negative connotation.”
