I began watching utterly dismissive of the lad, but I’m so glad I stuck with it. Regardless of the fact I’m also adhd (diagnosed at 50), I was won over by his passion and open heart. Needless to say, Louis was marvellous throughout. I appreciate when my middle age bias is turned on it’s head. Great tv
I appreciate that! I hope to be as flexible and open to new thoughts when I’m 50
As someone who struggles with adhd and is also part of the lgbtqia+ community i am genuinely grateful for people like you!! It can be hard to have a balance of being understanding and also being able to have your own opinions but just keeping your mind open is the most simple way of being a understanding person ❤️ sorry if my words are confusing 😄
You're not adhd. Adhd doesn't exist. It didn't exist a few years ago it's made up for people who want to feel special and who are just not good at applying themselves
You’re lying, you obviously didn’t begin “utterly dismissive of the lad” because he didn’t really say anything you couldn’t of guessed. You started off agreeing and ended up in the same place
To be honest, my gut reaction of him is instant dislike, don’t know why, but I just don’t like him. I don’t have any idea who he is and to be honest after this interview I’m still none the wiser. I do like Louis Theroux’s work though.
Why is everyone so infatuated with everyone else’s sexuality? Who gives a damn let people be happy
Because they cant stop yammering about how fantastic being a degenerate is
If they would shut up for 5 seconds and get a hobby we would not care
@@deeznutz8320 He is being deliberately questioned about it, why should he stay quiet about who he is?
How about you stop telling other people how to live their lives? Snowflake.
That's the culture we are in at the moment thanks to the media, can't go out anymore without seeing a gay flag
@@healthiswealth1452 well that's just utter tosh. Not once have I seen a 'gay flag" on my journeys out recently.
Unless of course, you're deliberately seeking one out? Perhaps a slight peak from behind that closet door of yours? 😉
@@reecekennedy8528 I'm guessing you don't watch football
1:05 idk why but eyebrow going up made me chuckle and smile a lil I love how weird he is and he just expresses it.Remember guys like my beanie says “STAY WEIRD!”
I AM muslim and I am thinking the same way like this guy.. I dont judge people and respect everyone. I dont care about someones race, religion, s preference etc.. just be yourself and of course no PDF files.
You're very confused clearly
It's kool that this is becoming so openly talked about and I'm looking forward to the day we as a species no longer need people to explain themselves.
Like we get less than 100 years, just let people live their years peacefully.
"That's pretty normal..."
hahaha this is lit every argument that every pansexual will have with anyone who is too closeminded. xD
Everything about him is fake
What an incredibly intelligent young man 💥
He is so lovely
Let's be honest pansexual literally doesn't mean anything
It’s a narcissistic way of saying you’re bi
I love him 💖 he's really the best soul
Meh, he seems like every other person these days to me. Dyed hair, eyeliner, skull and bones clothing, platform shoes. Meh.
I said bow down when I come to my town
I thought sexulity couldnt change because its not a choice its how youre born. So does sexuality morph with time, because i dont think all would agree. Many that are straight, gay or lesbian wouldnt say their sexuality changed because they were born that way... either way Dom is a lot of questionable things (that seem fake) but i dont think he queer baits like some performers. And yes he would say the same if he wasnt a celeb and seeing celebs bait for sponsorships and a wider audience.
In ways I get his thing. In others I think he's potentially gonna mess up kids heads and leave them in some extremely vulnerable situations through their exploration if they follow his ethos.
May I suggest talking to more young people. They don’t have the fears that we older generations have. I’m saying this as a 60 year old. They just want freedom and equality and they’re not afraid of changing the world to make it that way, because they as a generation genuinely feel united across the various differences that still are stumbling blocks to us older folks
@@patiencejewel I'm a young person and share the exact sentiment as above, I don't think these ideologies are healthy tbh
Surprising interview for an ol fogey to watch. Getting accused of 'pretending to be gay'. You'd be battered if you had a sniff of gayness when I was young! Seems like a nice chap.
Am I missing something here?
He's just an irritating caricature.
Is this scripted?
Yes
It's not about the gender. haha what?
This is not worth giving attention XD
The Jews find this very important these people are gonna make them a Lotta money
Facts
PROVE IT. Make out with harry styles and post pics lmfao
i like this kid, but unfortunately he is brainwashed into thinking that it‘s alright to have different sexualitys other than heterosexual
I dunno…sounds kinda sus.
Knob.
🤮
I could use the same emoji for you
@@gondalfthegay9987 let's puke on eachother
They always look like crazy
I love him stuttering and his little smirk saying "i experimented with every kinda... thing.." He's always so real and sincere. Everything about him is truly inspiring I love him sm
WHAT?
I could be his mom but I've loved this kid since Polygraph Eyes......."leave it alone mate. She doesn't want to go home with ya".........he is such an open soul willing to share his wounds if it makes others feel less alone. He is imperfect (and proud of it) as we all are and, by the way, writes kick ass music. I hope he continues to become and evolve because he is the most real, truthful musician out there today. Plus that smile is infectious.
Well said! I wholeheartedly agree.
Hes talentless. You're hilarious 😅
@@ophiolatreia93a lot more talent than you, spewing hatred on the Internet.
@@ophiolatreia93bro is angry
His honesty is a breath of fresh air
There is absolutely nothing fresh about this plonker.
He's clearly a compulsive liar and faker
He fake
I think sexuality is such a personally nuanced thing, like when people ask me mine I am sometimes lost as to what label best fits how I feel and who I am inside. If anyone feels like not labeling themselves or allowing others to label them, they should be allowed to. And any expression of their sexuality doesn't mean that's all they are or that they are limited by what society presumes them to be. I think part of what Dom is saying is that his sexuality is quite fluent and doesn't want a solid label because like my own sexuality, his changes over time. I get it completely.
Interesting... I don't think anyone has ever asked about my sexuality. Do you get asked a lot?
Wow it's really nice to see someone from the current generation of gender/sexual expression just say that it's not about pigeonholing people as L,G,B,T,Q,I or A- It's just like, we're people who just see people for what they are, interesting, inspiring, and beautiful. This is wonderful to see as it's a departure from all the work we had to do from the 60s to the 2000s where the only visible alternative identity was just GAY MAN and barely anything more nuanced in mainstream queer culture.
@K B Well I would agree with you that makes total sense. I'm privileged enough to have been working on the gay/queer scene for my whole adult life, and know that I may never understand all of it, but I don't have to to know that these are good people doing good things in the way that they want
Bowie? The New Romantic scene? Morrissey? Suede??
Yeah because it's not as if 95% of people on Twitter say such things. What an original thought.
@@kevinkibble8342 Clearly I don't spend my time wading around the cespit that is twitter.
@@vice.nor.virtue they say it in real life too. I’ve been round those people
Thing is when you're pansexual it's a free market so don't get wound up if a pan adult man has a relationship with a woman when that's under the spectrum they like.
Huh? It's a free market as a bisexual
@@lukeet331 They dont know yet there is only 2 genders
As someone (afab) who is in a "straight" relationship with a man but who is very much so Bi YUNGBLUD IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Bi erasure is such a problem within the “community.” Lesbians like to assume that because you’re (currently) dating a man you’re actually straight and had only been experimenting or with women for attention. Straight men, who we’re always told are the enemy, tend to be overwhelmingly open-minded and accepting.
The lad is bisexual. It’s hardly a breath of fresh air. Pop stars for decades have been bisexual and spoke openly about their sexuality.
YES, louder for mean kids in the back!
Respect everyone’s process of self discovery, you don’t know a stranger’s history ergo you can’t KNOW their sexuality/gender identity (not even if you’ve watched all of Drag Race, Kaylee!) and stop accusing celebrities of Queerbaiting
How about this: I don't care what your sexuality or made up gender is. No, not everyone is not entitled to my respect. ...And if you try to force me to care, if you try to make me say words I think are nonsense, or to say things that violate what I can see and understand to be true, things that violate my knowledge of reality... I'm going to retaliate and do whatever I can to make you miserable.
The punks have forgotten how to be punks. The rebels have become the man. A mass of blue haired petty tyrants, telling other people what the can't, or must, say, and do. To that I have only one thing to say: Look deeply into my raised middle finger, as I am what you wish you still were.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, and for me it's not about being mean. I just feel that if a queer person has a platform, then they should use that platform, as loudly and as vericiously as possible. I've seen so many examples over the years of pop stars, TV shows, and movies queer baiting to access the pink pound, I'm still a little overly cautious maybe.
@@olzki It’s not mean to bully teenagers out of the closet before they’ve had any real life experience to figure out who they are?
I appreciate some people knew themselves to be gay very young but some of us had a lot of conflicting nonsense thrown at us (including from gay people) so it took some time to realize who we are, particularly if you aren’t monosexual. Hell, I have friends in their 30s/40s only now coming out or transitioning. And that’s as a private everyday citizen, I can’t imagine doing it in public under the scrutiny of the media and consumers with obsessive parasocial attachments. I think the landscape is very different now - sure blame corporations for exploiting queer audiences but attacking artists is unnecessary
@K B I take your point, I had (and still to a degree have) similar concerns i.e. fuelling the conservative hate mob, but also I think maybe it is a natural part of sexuality/gender for some people. Maybe “change” is the wrong word, maybe “evolve” is better? Our understanding of sexuality and gender and relationships has broadened so much in just my lifetime, I think there’s still more to learn, humans are complex. If someone is bisexual in their youth but over time settles into an asexual/monosexual relationship later in life does that invalidate who they were before? I don’t know, I don’t think so… and not everyone’s life is that complicated, but there have always been outliers and I think it’s possible some people might be more malleable
@@TMJW of course it's mean, to bully anyone, regardless of how they identify. I just look at someone like Harry styles, who is happy to cross dress publicly, happy to flirt with boys publicly, happy to wave a pride flag around in public, but isn't happy coming out publicly because he knows it could harm his career (if he has anything to come out about). I think it's a little naive to compare a "teenager" to a teenaged celebrity; most teenagers dont have press agents, and publicists, and business analysts, advising them what to do to make the most coin. I also think it's naieve to believe it doesn't happen, when it has so many times in the past. I mean look at Beckham; happy to act a little fruity when it suited him, happy to claim allyship when it was profitable, now he's headed to Qatar to earn a fortune, and ignore how lgbtqia+ are treated there; some ally he turned out to be.
Real people cannot queerbait.
First interview I saw of Dom, right after I coincidentally attended his show at Pukkelpop😫😍 Now after 4 weeks of binging all his interviews & music, I came back to watch this one again and it hit different. What a beautiful human being. I really hope he manages to keep his head straight and have the right people around to protect his sanity. Must be hella tough takin’ in all this extra pain and trauma with the growing fanbase.
🖤🖤🖤
Weird how someone so young can be so much like David Brent haha
we both know !
Defo
Example, lol?
@@wonderwoman5528 Example is like 41 so he’s in the Brent age group 👍
I'd question how much you remember or understood The Office
I feel this like ppl say biphobia doesnt exist but ppl want to cancel your sexuality bc you are going out or kissing or in a relationship with smo of the other sex. I'm still liking girls too, guys hahahaha im not hetero bc my bf at the moment is a guy 😂
Why does this guy remind me of David Brent?
If David Brent was still around he'd definitely be on Twitter putting he/him in his bio and spouting woke nonsense like this tool does.
It is if Brent did the tide challenge 😂
@@TheWolfsAcademy 🤣
Because he comes across as fake
I’m a very a big fan of yungblud I def worry about where his head is but he’s so amazing I went to a concert and know that he has pain but he’s strong
This was such a brilliant interview. Louis was so kind and yet willing to ask every possible question he thought of. Made for an engaging and captivating interview.
I loved Yungblud and his music since I heard Polygraph eyes. I was already intrigued and loved his voice. But as I started to uncover the lyrics and realise how insightful he is, as well as kind and would fight for anyone’s rights, I became totally hooked.
Since then I have enjoyed every single song he’s written or covered. He’s talented and for me, the best musician of all time. And I’m a child of the 80’s who grew up with all the greats from the 70’s, 60’s and 50’s.
More please!
why is sexuality so important?
How dare you - Greta Thunberg was here 😅
Such an interesting/artistic lad,… He would definitely be someone I would Invite to my dead or alive dinner party 🤓
Wow he’s really sincere and definitely not just saying what is trendy today
Why does anyone care about this guy ?
People actually care about this?
He’s so open, and so sincere with his words
He’ll always be my favorite I think ❤
I really don't understand this new 'queerbaiting' idea people have about artists. It feels like this anxty scarcity complex coming from young people who have little life experience. This idea that a singer has to be fully gay or fully straight to talk about certain themes, as if them singing is taking away from another, gayer person. It's silly to me, because we're seeing various gayer artists emerge now. Theres room at the top for all of it. And policing artists who are by definition experimental feels like the antithesis of everything we've been working towards for the last 70 years. The biggest example of this was when they came down on Billie Eilish for 'queerbaiting', when she was so clearly gay af! It's the same witch hunt mentality we had in the 2000s & before, disguised as social morality 😂
It's because they're using the word wrong. Queerbaiting can never be done by a real person. It's a term used to describe shows that make characters interact in a way that a lot of fans grab hold of and ship, but never follow through with making them anything but straight
youre either a man or a woman depending on which ge itle hou were born with and youre either straight, gay/lesbian, or bi. its as simple as that…
Extremely ambivalent on whether I like him or just think he’s full of shit supporting what’s “trendy” for his own popularity
When musicians try to hard to be wacky and crazy it's cringe. Naturally crazy is Ginger Baker. This guy is like a even annoying version of David Brent. Proper Italia Conti kid
Ginger baker was a great drummer but a awful human ,read his book ,watch beware of Mr baker!
@@lagcossy7354 he was mental , the real deal.
This is awesome. He's come so far.
The still for this video makes him look like a character from the league of gentlemen. We'll have no trouble here...
Loved this theroux episode , yungblud came accross as so down to earth what a nice role model he is , he talks sense
Met him on the streets in Athens and he was exactly how you'd expect, a nice lad!
He's fake
Is this Pete w/ Tourettes from ‘Big Brother’ or Billie Joe Armstrong from ‘Green Day’?
It has always been about respect. People don’t care to educate themselves about people that are different.
Ah man I love Jade Goody! Never knew Louis interviewed her! Gone but never forgotten
Pretty forgotten tbh
But LOL
You are so right Dominic 👍🏻 and surely Harry has no problem kissing you 😘
A person in entertainment being pro trans/equity.
How brave and contrarian
God doesn’t make mistakes. If the birth of a child is a gift from God God who created earth he also created trees dogs rain Mars The heavenly stars billions of miles above. God loves every thing he created from the ants in your backyard the cows who give us milk And the 2 guys who live together across the street. God created life for all of us
See that’s a sentiment I can get behind when it comes to people who believe in god… you’re not hurting me & I’m not hurting you so whatever we are doesn’t matter.
This guy is insufferable
He looks like the child of Jade Goody and Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day
made me smile
I don’t know anything about Yungblud but he looks like a cross between Keith Flynt and Billy Idol.
Nice guy YB, but Louis Theroux looks bored out of his mind.
Apologies to the yung'ns but there's nothing new here, and no one is more aware of it than Louis, as he practically phones in his questions.
Utterly tedious...
May Allah guide us and keep us safe for all evil. Allah is one, Islam is the truth and the final. Prophet and messenger I Muhammed peace and blessings be upon him
He reminds me so much of Freddy.....craaazy. I love him so much man...🖤♾️
Don’t insult Freddy pahhhhhhhhhhh Jesus Christ
I like him, but its not true that you are what you say you are. If I identify as a millionaire, it doesent make me a millionaire you know? Also, you can be unsure about your sexuality, but it doesent just change. Its something that you are born with.
why doesn’t this have more likes?

Such a beautiful human, in every possible way. Love to see him get his rightful recognition
Yup, Louis is pretty handsome.
@@finchisneat I agree😂but I meant Dom
I hate him and his bunch of misfit weirdos.
This is a strange interview, he says that the voice isn’t put on. Yet he is talking very differently here..
Makes no difference...I love ya ❤
Yungblud is a sweetheart and believes in total equality. 🖤🖤 He’s a gift to this generation. Honest and wickedly talented! I have never been judgmental about other people’s sexual orientation. I only care about who I’m sleeping with.
You don't need to respect anyone's sexual habits, as long as it's between concenting adults, You shouldn't care about it
Exactly, his sexuality is none of my business, and I'd rather not know anyway. Why is he so worried about people "respecting" it. We don't care mate!
I just to bee pan now im omni so i completely understand him for me its also about personality not gender i dont mind whit who i am
Why are people saying he’s queerbaiting when he said he’s pan sexual. Not to mention seeing this dude compared to someone liek Harry Styles and Charlie Pooth. I don’t see how you can say he’s queerbaiting. The other two idc what your opinion is or mine but I can see how but this dude it makes no sense. I wish people also talk about why people use the term queerbaiting and why people are very defensive about it. I feel like it’s a bigger issue than this. It seems from everything you can imagine. Especially being treated unfairly. It’s a crazy thing to think and learn about. So many different angles.
To briefly say my opinion. No one is ordered to say what their sexuality is… but I think the only problem is how we come about showing it. I’m not gonna go into detail but it’s the grey area between expressing your self/sexuality, what you do and how you react to things about your sexuality, and how you normalize it to it being personal rather than a marketing tactic. Peoples main problem is straight men using gay people when it benefits them and not helping gay people out in return. Example is it’s now common for young straight men to “act gay/sus” mocking feminine gay people… yet they’re the main ones bullying, abusing, etc to gay people. It’s a grey area but people need to start being light with the word. This man doesn’t use it for marketing schemes or anything so idk why he’s in this topic.
B/c society is telling him what they “KNOW” he is. Just like Shawn Mendes. Only certain ppl go through this. It’s so invasive and a comment about how somebody “fits in” or doesn’t from the world. Society merges gender expressions and sexuality all century long 🫥
So long as you’re not hurting anyone then who cares.
He’s such a well spoken young man
He's so intelligent and articulate 😆
Poor kids growing up with this poppy crap and nonsense, wrapped up like a philosophical endeavour.
This man is an amazing interviewer.
Love how no one is bi anymore. The L's & G's get lumped in with the BTQ's and I guess now P's. No problem being an ally to LG. Not my orientation but I understand some are hardwired. No reason to hate or discriminate against. It just is.
The ever growing flavor of letters however... have 0 desire to be concerned with or hear about.
Yeah the freedom of when an octopus looks just straight into your eyes... and you feel that love. You just feel it. And gotta have it.
this is a joke of course.
Love this
I think people think he’s queer-baiting cause he seems like he is , and it’s important to not take up the spaces of others who would better use the platform.
BUT I don’t know him well enough to judge -
People think it is hard to use they/them pronouns. Is it hard to use names instead of she/her or he/him?
Remember when yungblud flashing Louis at the end of this documentary
You know what I think? It doesn't matter what I think. Doesn't affect me so I dgaf

That's why you need NordVPN!

I honestly can't stand this "queerbait" word. It doesn't even exist to begin with, it's a made up word. It'd nowhere to be found in the Oxford dictionary 💀☠️I honestly can't stand this generation and how exhausting they are.
Yup, they keep demanding respect and recognition for things that we don't even care to know about them.
Hes such a great role model.. and thats coming from someone who is slightly RIGHT leaning (cant stand liberals in general) but this guy transcends politics with his amazing attitude, kindness and overall generosity of spirit!!!
If you were genuinely right leaning you’d know this little twerp is anything but a great role model. He’s psychotic.
