Boy Bands

A problem I have recently had.

As every 13 year old girl and I know, the latest of the Backstreet Boys discography hit stores a week or so ago. It's real lame (awesome), and I wouldn't listen to it if I was paid (I blast it through my headphones every night.)

Why are boy bands so damn catchy? When I liked the Backstreet Boys in my younger days, I was able to blame it on my immaturity. As I grew older, I had girlfriends (whom I loved) to confirm that I wasn't in fact gay.

But now, I'm 20 years old. The Backstreet Boys come out with a new album, and its got some hot tracks (I will say that it is not a solid album on it's own, but it definitely has a few sick grooves.)

How does this happen? Am I really the only one? 



Don't answer that.

    Hahha, I watched Conan O'Brien a couple nights ago, and his musical guest was the Backstreet Boys. I really think they should be called the Backstreet Men, or Haggard Middle-Aged Teenager Wannabes... or something. There was something really sad about watching a bunch of thirty years olds using the same dance moves that captivated the hearts of so many middle school girls ten years ago. I guess it wasn't that long ago, but it didn't keep me from actually laughing out loud.

    I confess to being in the 11th row at a concert of theirs last summer... Its not something I admit to people often. So no, you're not alone.

    this is similar to the tour that the spice girls did real recently. I think its a nostalgia thing too-- don't be ashamed haha, we all got our guilty pleasures. i still listen to technotronic pump up the jam fairly often

    It seems that in this scary world we are looking back towards a safer one.
