WHy are boy bands not popular anymore, they used to be the bomb back in 1995-200!


Question: Even as a guy, I admitt I still liked pop music in the late 90s and early 2000s. I really liked Nsyn and Backstreet Boys were alrite. But think about it, there is hardly any boy bands left today? They were so popular, and there were so many:

- BackStreet Boys
- Nsync
- Hanson Brothers
- Otown
- B44
- Aqua (they had one chick though)

etc...................

the recording industries changed, as trends rise and fall, the boy band will probably return in 20 or so odd years as a fad, i don't think it's that people "grew up", just because you did doesn't mean everyone else is the same age as you...but instead I think the identity associated with boy bands has fallen with the rise of Rap and even American Idol with more solo artists...
I actually think that the boy band has just changed from the stereotypicical boy band to a "pop punk" type boy band such as Good Charlotte,Simple Plan, and Fall Out Boy. Report It

    • psst **people grew up**
    Yeah I remember those days back in 1998-2000 I still isten to Aqua tho.
    Americans get bored real easy...
    You say that like it's a bad thing...
    b/c they suck....
    Girl bands are making a comeback
    Because times change...
    because that's when "the bomb" was a cool phrase =P
    Dare we hope that it is a sign that public taste is maturing?
    times change.....its a part of life
    boyz to men
    i want those days back!
    Just like the word "Bomb" we also don't use that
    The question should be why were they popular in the first place, two words, cultural and vacuum
    because the era of boy bands have gone down the drain now its pretty much everyone for themselves. its pretty much sink or swim for the boy bands nowadays.
    because the word bomb went out of style as soon as they did
    Because trends change and people move on. Boy bands go through phases of being popular and then not being popular; but eventually it all comes back around...
    YEAH YOUR RIGHT PEOPLE DID GROW UP BUT I LIKE THAT SONG BARBIE GIRL
    Give it 3-5 more years, there will be another boy band (assuming there are still record labels). Boy bands have come and gone in waves since the monkees. They need a cool-down period while they wait for the next crop of pre-teen girls.
    I think because times have changed and people have grown up and past those times.
    Just like slang words like "da bomb", they've had their 15 minutes of popularity (and fame).
    1st of all....consider the fact that you're gay.

    2nd if you are still calling thing the bomb maybe you should still be listening to boy bands.

    3rd....the 13 year old girls that were the target audience for those bands outgrew them. And the new crop of 13 year old girls got hooked on something else. Simple as that.
    Just as any craze they come and go
    there's still boy bands, fall out boy, my chemical romance, panic at the disco, gym class heros, etc. they're just called emo bands now (although they are really boy bands...)
    i never like boys bands
    I dont like pop, but compared to loads of music now, it was good. Now, its all emos and chavs.

    chav music= hip hop, r n b, and some tarty music
    emo=mainly rock

    I like some rock, but not emo rock, as lookig at them makes me depressed. Obsessed with death
    then came out the thing that boy bands were made up of gay men and well people started getting into hardcore rock and didnt like love songs and stopped slow dancing and such....

    personally saying, i was like 2-9 back then, but i really like boy bands; but since the ones now are emo, im obsessed with japanese boy band idols! arashi rules!!!!! 8 years and running!!!!
