Lecture/ Boy Bands/etc etc

I'm really glad I missed that phase in my childhood in which I went through the boy bands. The closest I ever got to them was the Spice Girls haha!! It's interesting to see through the ages, the types of boys that get attention from the tween girls. From Rudy Valentino, to Elvis, to Danny Jones, and finally ending at >dry retches< that guy from Twilight. A lot of my cousins were in love with Hanson, I never really understood why to be honest. I was too busy with Rammstein and Orgy in the 3rd grade. I did however succumb, for about a week, to Blink 182, which I feel is a boy band. Granted they didn't dance nor attempt harmonies, but their image was boy band enough for me. I believe a lot of bands were boy band-esque bands even though they weren't remembered as such. Blink 182 is one. They appealed to that audience that was just outgrowing the love of boy bands and was looking for a new obsession.
