perhaps most notably the backstreet boys beginning in 1996 with their single "Quit Playing Games with My Heart." did you think it was faggy at the time? do you recall girls falling for it wholeheartedly? what did you make of it as more and more of those boy bands were pushed by the media?

yes, "A. Incognito Johnson". not flame; that was his nom de plume when he was hiding out from the law in bali.

There were boy bands for as long as I can remember. New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, these groups long preceded my paying attention to popular music.

But I recall thinking that these bands were for pathetic olds in high school, and that my generation's boy bands, including but not limited to BSB, NSYNC, 98 Degrees, and O-Town, were superior. There was much argument in my middle school over whether BSB or NSYNC was better. Girls would fight over Justin or Lance (ha!).

I truly thought that when NSYNC sang in Pop that they would keep making music, they meant it and that this was a permanent shift in music. Alas.

the earlier groups like NKOTB tended to represent "emergent" genres, which you can see in the way that rap elements were woven into some of their singles. backstreet boys, 98 degrees, etc. were different in that they basically played "straight up the middle" for adult contemporary/pop radio.

NKOTB was big and truly the first, although I was too young then.

But then Backstreet Boys really took off. And then of course N'Sync. There were others, but those were the Big Two.

The late 90s was weird because 90s music had been a great, new rap era and alternative music and stuff but ended with like this massive Teen Pop Explosion which I guess was Millennials coming of age. The Mickey Mouse Club was basically a Disney Manhattan Project of the 90s to launch Pop Cultural nuclear bombs on America, and it really worked.
