Ahh, I see you missed the very light, subliminal text at the top of the e-mail, before I went into breaking down the bands... the part between the well-placed *cough* messages....

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye?

Time to demonstrate my extreme age.

Backstreet Boys starting the trend? Puh-lease. The man who created them (and N'Sync) admits they're a copy of "New Kids on the Block".

And THEY were a copy of Menudo.

*Cough* NKOTB *cough*

Their success (prior to going rap and trying to burn down a hotel room) opened the door to Boy Bands in the '90's... N'Sync, 98 Degrees, BackStreet Boys, and all those others that I am growing to not be able to stand anymore... it showed that an all-male group, without them playing instruments during the shows, but instead putting on a well-choreographed dance act... but honestly, they've been there for a long long time...

The Pretenders. Barbershop Quartets. All male bands that showed how well several voices all singing at once in harmony could sell. A Boy Band (or a solo teenage female singer) is really nothing new... unfortunately, they're all falling into the stereotype that society has drawn up for them the past several years, and playing the part very well.

Boy Band = Pretty boys... must occupy at LEAST 3 teen mag. covers... wanted by at least 80% of the under-16 teenage female population

Britney/Christina types = physically perfect (usually involving some sort of cosmetic surgery) skinny girls that have to be lusted for by a minimum 65% of the male population... first ranking on the list is pedophiles and men in prison for 10-to-20.
