The father band that started it was New Kids on the Block, but I’m sorry to say, that I was not THAT big into them but I do recognize them as founding a generation of pop rock. Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood, I thank you for all that you’ve given me.
When I was a wee lass, someone asked me who I thought sang the song…and I don’t know a boy and a couple of girls? I obviously was not privy to what puberty did to little boys but I mean I was super confused!
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
The real question is who is your favorite BSB? We all know what Nick Carter did for the '90s, but what has he done for us now? I mean I cannot complain about the NKOTB and BSB have gotten together for a comeback tour and I mean that’s happy, but beside the point. Nick Carter was the blond bad boy who was the heart throb who ironically had a bowl cut at some point, but he wasn’t my guy. Brian Littrell was my man…. I don’t even know what it was, maybe it was the baby face or something. I had this ‘All Access to the BSB’ book and I drew hearts all around him. And Kevin, A.J., and Howie, how can I forget the other three?
I was a later in life N*SYNC fan, point blank I don’t understand why I didn’t like them in the beginning. Bye, Bye, Bye is absolute gold! Justin Timberlake is now 100% stud and Lance Bass is freaking awesome, I wish I had the money to pay the Russians to take me to space. J.C. Chasez is awesome too, I liked him so much in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, like the whole 30 seconds he was in it and I don’t know who the other guys are. . . .
Other noteable mentions that I don’t have any information on is: 98 Degrees (You know the Lachey boys) who sang Una Noche and I Do (Cherish You) is my personal favorites.

S Club 7- I know its co-ed but they fit the bill
A*Teens: No words necessary because they made ABBA cool when I was the rebellious preteen. Their own stuff isn’t so bad either.
B*Witched: C’est La Vie is pure magic and if you wanna fight about it, let me know.
Spice Girls: Another story for another time, I own their poster and its posted proudly.
Britney Spears/Christina Aguilara…. Their old stuff, like Oops I did It Again era and what is an old song from Christina… I really wasn’t a fan of her. But Britney, she was a god!! Not going to lie I own all her older, less …. Skanky?. . . . stuff, but words cannot explain what I feel for her.
You don’t have to be male to be in a boy band, it’s a genre to describe the 90’s.
The Beatles, The Beach Boy and the Monkees are not boy bands.
Motley Crue, Kiss and Poison are not Boy Bands.
Questions?
I think the only modern band that can be classified as one would be the Jonas Brothers and maybe Justin Bieber. There might be more little poppy bands around, but unless I’m at camp and the girls force me to listen to them as a form of torture, the boy band generation is now a bunch of has-beens on a reunion tour.
