Do You Know What These Mysterious Harry Styles Posters Mean?

Calling all Harry Styles fans! It appears the wait for new music from the "Kiwi" crooner is basically over — or that's what his super sleuthy fans think, anyway. Apparently, black and white posters that mention "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?" Have been popping up in cities around the globe. And yet mentioned posters never have Styles's name written anywhere on them, fans insist they've cracked the code. Let's dive into the clues, shall we?


For starters, NME pointed out that while the posters lack the One Direction star's name, they do include the acronym "TPWK." To casual listeners of Styles's music, this could might not mean much. However for those who attended his last tour, those four letters have a much bigger meaning. "TPWK" actually stands for "Treat People With Kindness," and this was a message Styles included on much of his previous tour merchandise.


Another major hint that these cryptic posters belong to Styles is that each one features the logo of the singer's music label, Columbia Records. Then, obviously, there was the confusing, single-word tweet that he published on October 5, which sent his followers into an immediate panic. The word "Do" meant little at the time, however that two-letter word is the first word on all of the posters that fans have been spotting, so perhaps it's one of these things that only makes sense in hindsight.


After being presented with the evidence, these eagle-eyed fans actually make a good case. And nevertheless we'll have to wait for Styles to confirm that new music is on the way himself, that definitely hasn't stopped his devoted fandom from freaking out online and theorizing about what's for now been dubbed "HS2." See?


Clearly, fans are eagerly anticipating new music from Styles. And trust us once we mention they are not alone.
