Boy Bands

I am definitely not a fan of boy bands, surprise surprise. But those who still like boy bands and feel it is a "guilty pleasure" may have their reasons. The pleasure part is obviously because they like the music, but why is it guilty? Part of the reason is probably because almost nobody still likes this music. Another reason is that it was so over played when it was popular, that most people are probably just annoyed by it. The person feeling the guilty pleasure knows that this music irritates and annoys most people so this is why they feel guilty.

I also disagree with the fact that they do not play their instruments (if any real ones are even present at all in the song) or their own lyrics. I believe that music is about expression: An expression of YOURSELF, not of some lyricist who is selling his work for others to perform. I guess if they mixed their own computer beats that could be one form of them expressing themselves. Many would argue that the dancing is a form of these boy bands expressing themselves. I would agree but only if they invented the majority of their dance moves and put them together themselves. If they just learned a bunch of moves that a choreographer made, then they are just expressing however the choreographer was feeling when he/she invented the move. Either way, if you like boy bands that is ok. To each his/her own. Just please please please do not play them near me :)
