Boy bands are still a thing OP.
>>78328663
There is one boy band. They stopped being "a thing" a decade ago.

weren't they a band Nickelodeon made for a tv show?

>weren't they a band Nickelodeon made for a tv show?
yep, and yet there is still people who like their music.
>>78328756
Thats like nothing compared to the late 90's boom. Hell One direction is the only one with real relevance and Big Time Rush was literally manufacture my nick. The other two are literally who's compared to shit like Backstreet bots and Nsync.

One Direction is what I was talking about when I said there was one boy band.
>>78328756
>Big Time Rush
They were ok as a show.
There was a lot better shows, but so there were also worse.
>>78328905
Whoa they manufactured a boy band?

Go fuck yourself, OP.
that is like a millenial thing isnt it?
What year are millenials? are we millenials?
im 1994
>>78329832
post 2000 is millennial, because they were born in the new millenium
>>78329832
Millenials are the generation born in the 80s-90s.
>>78329832
I've been accused of being both a generation Y and a millenial, which spans 1990 through present day. I just don't think generation groups exist anymore.
>>78329888
>>78329913
>>78329944
Make up your minds, assholes.
>>78329944
gen y is the same as millennial
Millenials were 11, younger, or not born yet as of 9/11.
>Kids today will never know of the glorious time between 1997-2000.

Gravity Falls did it very well when they had their boy band say "2013!" At the end of their song. It's absurd, but producers keep trying them out. I guess they make some money, just not enough to stick around.

>That sweet spot after "Y2K" but before 9/11 where everything was awesome.

>I guess they make some money, just not enough to stick around.
Tweens who think they have a chance of dating one of the band members will make the creation of boy bands eternal.

>I guess they make some money, just not enough to stick around.
I think the end once the members start realizing their producer/manager is keeping most of the money for themselves. They get the boot and another marketable group is produced

ding ding ding, winner
1 out of 100 will have actual staying power like Justin Timberlake. The rest will be lucky if they can eek out a living in entertainment.
>>78329944
You're actually correct: since Baby Boomers and Generation X there haven't really been specifically defined or distinct generation groups.
Everything after those are just buzzwords.
>>78330493
Doesn't mean the emmbers of those generations aren't trying to come up with one. You should hear the ones they're advocating, they reek of broke your arm jerking yourself off.
Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye

The actual answer is "early 80s to early 00s" because it's according to the Strauss-Howe generational theory, which states that each generation is 20 years and Strauss and Howe came up with the name back when they proposed the theory in the 80s.
The generation before millenials are Generation X so it's sometimes called Generation Y.
Anyone born in from early 00s to today is actually the Homeland generation.

>using strauss-howe pseudoscience
>>78330656
I'm not saying it's not entirely arbitrary made up bullshit, just that that's what the term means.
>no one wants to be grouped up with the millenials because that would mean people who bragged about the 80s and 90s world would shatter
>>78330656
I paged through their book Generations (a little outdated being that it was published in 1990) and a lot of it was practically astrology.
>>78330171

Boy Bands are still a thing internationally, if not stateside.
Especially in Asia, mainly Korea and Japan.
>thinking only America has boy bands
kpop boy bands are pretty popular
>all these anons talking bout superiority of ime periods
>tfw you can rest easy knowing that middle schoolers will always be discovering weird al for generations to come
>>78334336
That's because Korea is shit.
