If you were wondering how the Harmonizers were going to react to Fifth Harmony's hiatus announcement, then you should have seen this coming. Fans of the band are thanking Fifth Harmony for empowering them with their lyrics and their actions, and that seems about right for one of the most staunchly feminist bands in the game right now. The hashtag #ThankYouFifthHarmony has become the main way for fans to express how much the band has done to inspire them, to make them more confident, and to give them something to believe in over the six years that the girls have been together. And if you can make it through these tweets without crying, well, you're an emotionally stronger person than most.

The band announced their separation with a tweet they posted on Monday morning. "After six years going hard, non stop, we also realized that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we do need to take some time for now to go on a hiatus from Fifth Harmony, in order to pursue solo endeavors," read their full statement.

So the bad news is that the band is breaking up for now, but the good news is that we'll be getting more new music than ever before from individual artists Normani Kordei, Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui. Fans are all up in their feelings, and, once you read their tweets, you'll be all up in yours, too.
