| | Boy band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In addition to pop music, boy bands also sing RandB songs and sometimes hip-hop songs as well. | | | Boy bands tend to be heavily criticized by certain musical press for appealing only to pubescent female teenagers and for emphasizing marketing and packaging over quality of music. | | | The Blink 182 music video for "All the small things" is a parody of boy bands. |

| | The two decided to start a band that was different than their hardcore punk roots, and more similar to bands they listened to growing up such as Green Day and Saves the Day. | | | While still unnamed, the band asked the audience at a college show what their band should be called, and an audience member yelled out "Fallout Boy," the name of superhero Radioactive Man's sidekick on the animated TV show The Simpsons. | | | The band claims that, at the time, they were unaware of the character. |

| | Boy band revival - smh.com.au |
| | There is a new breed of Australian music hopeful: young teenagers who dream of being in a boy band. | | | Not a rock band with two lead guitarists and a manic drummer but an out-and-out pop group, designed to strike poses in video clips and perform harmonies at the drop of a hat. | | | "Boy bands are looked down upon in the music industry," said Gavin Scott, editor of Smash Hits, the teen music magazine. |

| | ALBUM REVIEW: 2Gether -- Boy Band Bliss |
| | Though they have the same sound and harmonies that all boy bands have, their lyrics are a bit different. | | | The album is crafted to give the appearance of a legitimate boy band album, but it doesn’t actually contain anything that a typical boy band would sing about. | | | A new boy band has hit the airwaves that will replace all the boy bands of today -- Backstreet Boys, N&, and 98° -- and that band is 2Gether. |

| | How to Start a Boy Band - The Writer |
| | Boy band songs are classics, so your first song should be your greatest and forever more your most memorable song ever. | | | Okay, you finally face the fact and realize that boy bands are horrible and a waste of music, and your band is having no success whatsoever. | | | First, before writing your lyrics, consult with the other band members and have a nice conversation regarding what the topic and basic meaning of the song will be. |

| | But with grunge music dominating the '90s music scene, there was a void of hit boy bands by the middle of the decade. | | | Not only did the band turn pop music on its ear, but it also set many of the cultural and social trends of the 1960s. | | | As the Beatles matured (along with their message and audience) and eventually broke up, a number of new boy bands followed. |

He gave a mean rock show with "Just Want You to Know." Kevin Richardson played the piano when he concluded the set with "Never Gone," which he had written in memory of his father. |
