If you’ve been anywhere near the world wide web over the past few weeks, you’ve likely come across various eyebrow-raising articles focusing on the infamous 1975 frontman Matty Healy. He has a ‘bad name’ because, he is a person who likes to be naughty, as he proved when he shocked people a few weeks ago by eating raw meat while having fun on stage.
This kind of goblin-like behavior is completely absent from the artist, however. On his band’s current US tour, Healy is all about making fans question their own self-respect, while at the same time making them love him more for it. Some fans even printed T-shirts with the words ‘I Hate Matty Healy’. It’s really weird, honestly.
Healy is so popular on TikTok right now that it’s hard to scroll through the news feed for long without seeing him poke a camera, sloppily swig from a bottle of wine, or mutter something questionable while his voice is auto-singed. . This usually happens during the song TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME, now trending locally, with the hashtag ‘Matty Healy auto tune’ racking up 2.7 million views.
Probably the most watched moment was when the alt-pop singer yelled at security in Phoenix, Arizona for “just standing there like a bunch of dickheads” and failing to help fallen fans. You can imagine why this was so funny; hearing his indifferent denial, from the mouth of the pot delivered by a strange robotic voice.
There was also a time when a fan threw a bunch of menthol cigarettes at him, to which he replied “Don’t throw menthols on this stage” (while jumping around like a rabbit)…”You don’t like menthols”. Fans created hundreds of memes about it in response, prompting Healy to repeat his dislike of menthols on auto-tune at later shows.
Despite appearing comically unattractive, Healy is undeniably a pain in the ass. In fact, he even gave one fan a “first kiss”, which was recorded and witnessed by over 4M people on TikTok. At one show, he invited a fan on stage to get a tattoo done by his tattoo artist, while he gently barked at her and hugged her.
While the 1975 star is definitely adorable, her fans (thankfully) know how weird she is, not least because of the times she’s posed for her camera, while sticking her groin and dripping saliva into the lens. He also has a knack for annoyingly touching himself, which always sends the internet into an uncomfortable slash smitten frenzy.
There are countless Matty Healy moments, so for your entertainment, we’ve compiled a bunch of them for you below. However, don’t blame us if you fall in love and/or find yourself reaching for the sick bucket.
