limelight

fans of a famous boyband by the name of 'why don't we'. they're known to support the five boys; jonah, corbyn, daniel, jack and zach (from oldest to youngest). they support the band and have helped them travel the world on a sold out tour but are also well known for creating drama. they like to assume personal stuff about the boys and bring them and their families down. this is not acceptable..

friend: 'have you heard of the limelights?'
me: 'yeah, they're the ones starting drama right?'
