Two Twitter spats in one week? We thought we'd seen it all with Lily Allen and James Bay disagreeing about the BRITs and Allen comparing the hat-wearing singer to a boring herb.
However, it seems that there's rumblings in the indie world too, as Jon McClure, lead singer of Sheffield indie band Reverend and the Makers, has been having a go at Manchester's The 1975.
He kicked off proceedings the other day by saying 'That 1975 lad does my head in', referring to the lead singer Matt Healy, then amusingly proceeding to tell him that he was more of a Ronan Keating than a Kurt Cobain.
That 1975 lad does my cake in.
Ur in boyzone mate. Ya not Cobain.
Pipe the fuck down

McClure spent the next few days continuing to rile The 1975's fanbase with tweets like this:
@copperxsugg cos he's a pretentious 🔔🔚 . Just my opinion. Get over it. Why u so arsed about it?

Yesterday, Healy himself weighed into the conversation, echoing Kanye West's tweets to Wiz Khalifa:

McClure didn't have much else to say after that, other than:

As my mam would say, it seems there's a pair of you in it, 'Rev'.
