Just over twenty minutes ago, at 3:00pm EST on March 3rd, 2015 (5:23am, March 4th, 2015 local Tokyo time, where the 5SOS members are currently located), the above message appeared in a tweet from the official 5 Seconds of Summer twitter handle. Within minutes, the 5 Seconds of Summer family exploded with conspiracy theories.

From the downright incorrect:

5sos are probably looking through the #5ONTHEWALL hashtag and laughing at our confusion

To the just way too true:

5sos are actually so bad at announcements like they pure drop a bomb shell then they disappear of the face of the earth #5ONTHEWALL

To the actually kind of smart:

The things on the website make it seem like a chatroom type of thing? #5ONTHEWALL pic.twitter.com/dMVYSfhlL5

Why did no one else think to check the website’s terms of use?

UPDATED

This was just posted by 5SOS:

Listening to new songs

Could the new music mean that they are putting out a new album on the website? It would be a gutsy move, but from Drake to Beyonce, we’ve seen more and more artists over the past year or so release their albums unexpectedly.

UPDATED

5sos.com has changed from fuzzy photos to a countdown, which repeats on a loop, and some amazing members of the 5SOS family have cleaned up the fuzzy images that were displaying on the site previously:
