5SOS's Ashton says Instagram is the best social media platform: 'I like visual things'

Aussie pop-punkers 5 Seconds Of Summer are very active on social media, but member Ashton Irwin has now shared his favourite account to use. 

Earlier this week, drummer Ashton Irwin told Rolling Stone magazine that he prefers Instagram as his social media platform of choice because he's quite a visual guy:

"I like visual things, so I think Instagram is more appealing to me than things like Twitter or Facebook."

He also revealed his favourite IG accounts and named InstaAnimal as one of his top picks, admitting that "they just post photos of cute animals all day". He also name dropped Alexander DeLeon's account, adding "he's from the band the Cab, and he just posts endless awesome photos".

His final favourite is Zildjan Cymbals' page, which he described as "posting videos of drummers in different bands all day everyday, so that's a cool thing for me".

5SOS, meanwhile, recently told Shazam Top 20 that they occasionally stalk their followers on Twitter and look through their posts and photographs, so their social media habits aren't limited to just Instagram.
