We're both too young for New Kids on the Block Zea.
i think my sister listened to them but she's closer to Woody and Linny's ages.

Haha, I guess that is true Wings. Though I'm not adverse to listening to older music I think New Kids On The Block and the whole boy band movement in general flew right by me. We are but wee babes in comparison to the old geezers that are Linn and Woody

I've certainly heard of New Kids on the Block though.
N'sync and Backstreet Boys was more our gen.

yeah I've heard of them but couldn't name a song.
yeah defintiely nsync.
though now for me boy bands is all kpop. cuz yeah. they took the boy band idea and did it better than we ever tried to.

Kat: I was too late for those as well. I think that Justin Bieber and One Direction were/are more my particular age range because I was respectively a tween and then young teen when those particular acts really came into focus, which I guess is the target demographic.
I've had an awful lot of embarrassing phases, but for whatever reason boy bands was never one of them.

The only 'NSYNC song I know is 'Bye Bye Bye' and that's mostly because we incorporated it into a flash mob last year haha!

Other countries have done boy bands pretty good too. I know some spanish songs.

That song really made a splash so I'm sure it's still known years later!

Kat: Yeah, 'Bye Bye Bye' is honestly so iconic. It came out when me and most of my friends would have been two or three and yet I know so many people who still get bopping to it. Definitely one to reflect the musical scene of the late 90s/early 2000s in years to come.

lol so true. america kinda just flopped on that. but korea has really done it quite well

and yeah that song is super iconic. it's like the NSYNC song.
just like I want it that way is the backstreet boys song

Funny how that stuff became so iconic.

i was actually only 7 when they were really big and i was mad at my mom for not letting me, a seven year old, go to a concert hahaha she said i couldn't because she knew what happened at concerts after she went to a Poison concert. i thought and still think that Poison and NKOTB are on VERY different levels but whatever lol

well see, that was also my generation as well. they were big when i was ending middle school and into high school. it's all perspective

yeah those two are definitely very different.

definitely kinda a crossover for when kat and i were kids and you were a teenager. but i think our teenager thing was not boy bands but punk pop bands like Fallout boy and MCR and P!ATD

mcr = my chemical romance or middle class rut?

and yes, those bands do seem more your generation and less mine. like i was just leaving that era when it began

mcr is my chemical romance.

i'm still baffled by fallout boy being back and like there's this new generation of teens being raised on them, but it's not the same songs. so weird to me

yeah, fallout boy is back. It's interesting.

middle class rut?? Is that a thing?

Why you little whipper snapper!!! I totally went to a Backstreet Boys AND Nsync concert when I was in 6/7th grade. Like a cool kid! I got over them really quick....but I still listen to the Nsync Christmas album ;) NKOTB was before my time. I was a wee little thing when they were popular.

To be fair, I made up for those concerts with a Meatloaf concert that same year.
*Sings*

And I would do annnnnnnny thing for love! But I won't do that!!!

Middle Class Rut? Yah, isn't that basically #firstworldproblems ?

I remember that song! "I would do anything for love" <-- that one

Hey Salvete! Congrats on Admin's Pick! I just saw your avi the other day when I briefly came on (lurker) and thought it was cute. :D :D

It's a good song. Perfect for epic road trip sing alongs!

thank you so much, woodlandnymph! <3

I really love the heart fireworks with that background you have <3

lol yes Woody. you're always lurking!

Thanks! They're from the very first Event I was around for! I joined in the middle of the Valentine's event and was thrown right in the middle of all the fun!



Maaaaaaaaybe Wings ;)

Sorry I didn't reply.
I was working on day yesterday on homework cause I had math class today.

I have quite literally never heard of Middle Class Rut

Why did ya'll talk so much while I was making dinner?!!

But I think I'll listen to that song when I'm back in my room.

Ooh, I didn't know Sal won Admin's. Very nice.
