Yeah but according to MTV Justin Beiber also results in news worth hearing . . . 

*VOMIT* 

I don’t think Boy bands ever really left… there has always been boy bands around since the start of them… We as adults just don’t see them as much as now they are put on TV on the kids channels. I don’t know if I like their song, as I cannot listen to it here. Shh I am at work lol.

They look like a hipster pop boy band…

MTV has lost all credibility.  They should change their name to reflect their programming: SRTV (Shitty Reality Television).

@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength@xanga - VOMIT UPON MORE VOMIT.

… ummm MTV started out as being Music Television - too bad that they barely even play music anymore so who decided to give them credability?

I absolutely adore The Wanted! Don’t get the hate for boybands on here… They (boybands) deff aren’t the most creative musicians out there or even the most talented… But, they are catchy and that’s what pop is all about.  And no, boybands won’t make it here. Still waiting on One Direction though.

@callitwhatyouwant - Check out my page for some REAL music.

Ah…but this group seems much better than Lance Bass’s…

@kurohime - True!

@needmoreink@xanga -  I agree

Give me a minute.. Im going to crawl into a hole and die now

i love the wanted, but i love one direction even more<3

My ears are bleeding. This shit is only good when you’re eight years old.

The Wanted are pretty big in England. I like them. Bands like One Direction are also pretty big here as well.

Honestly…. Not the greatest. And if I was really honest, I would have probably wanted this cd if I was like, 11.

And seriously, if I was taking my music cues from MTV, I’d be into rap and Justin Bieber.

@sarah213aquarius@xanga – Couldn’t agree more. One Direction infection

@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength@xanga – LOOL@ “real” music. I’m not into the heavy metal scene. Gimme some grunge or pop-punk and I’m fine. But metal, just no. I listen to very little metal.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

None of them are the Backstreet Boys. One Direction aren’t talented and are ugly. Big Time Rush can’t sing but at least a couple of them are cute.

@callitwhatyouwant - Pop punk is crap.

Real music: Tori Amos, John Coltrane, Jaco Pastorius, Opeth, Primus, Therion, Leaves’ Eyes, Tarja Turunen, Israel Lopez ‘Cachao’, Miles Davis, Claudia Acuna, Obscura, Cynic, Larry Graham (either with Sly & The Family Stone or his own Graham Central Station), Aretha Franklin, Amorphis, Bob Marley, Katatonia, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, classical music…

I could go on. Bottom line: Almost none of that is considered mainstream or very accessible. Why?

Read up.

And, of course, my own music is something I’m proud of. It’s unique, and it’s not something any average Joe with a bass could play.

boy bands really haven’t gone away–at least not in some parts of the world. i’m highly doubtful of them coming back into the american market, but they seem to be doing a pretty awesome job over in south korea. hahaha. i’m a little biased, but i really think if this does become a trend, it’ll start with the expansion of kpop internationally.

omg waaaaay tooo much autotune

I LOVE BOY BANDS

It sounds really bad. I can tell they’re not singing from the experience of going through a love battle, they’re just singing.

NSYNC FOREVER hahahah

I also had a soft spot for Big Time Rush because I would stumble upon their show once in awhile when channel surfing. They are adorable (and I believe my age), and their songs are catchy. 

@written_conversations@xanga - yesss one direction. so cheesy but so good!

And also…

The Wanted’s song “Glad You Came” is such a bigger tune than the ones you listed here! Party Anthem!

@pika_whoosh@xanga - Gold Forever was also pretty big when it was released! I loved that song the first time I heard it.

Not any different than some of the solo artists… 

@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength@xanga - While I definitely don’t like this cringe-inducing new wave of boy bands, my tastes are slightly different, though how could I not adore Primus, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley…

I would cite Modest Mouse, The Pixies, Bush, Explosions in the Sky, Hammock, Monster Movie, Portishead, Massive Attack, Neutral Milk Hotel, Caribou, anything classical or classically inspired, Radiohead, Tool, Carole King, The Who, Portugal. The Man, The Snake the Cross the Crown… as a few of my most often listened to groups. My Zune got stolen earlier this year and not having portable music makes it difficult for me to listen to new stuff. That, and my car stereo also got ripped out (bad luck this year!) so that’s really lame also.

But I get what you mean. Most of the very best music is made by very talented people whose work will go largely unappreciated because most of us don’t really dig deeper past the fluff to get to the really awesome music. :/

@blackspiders@xanga - That’s cool. I know most of the bands you mentioned, but some I didn’t know – which is a good thing! That means they’re very likely “off the radar” as far as the mainstream goes. I was just listing some of my favorite artists, most of which are also not (nor have ever been) at the top of the charts.

I mean when I was a teen, I also was in love with a boyband which was called US5. However, now I am 22 years old and yeah I am proud of the memories and also posted it a couple of weeks ago in my blog but I guess I am over it now.
Don’t get me wrong: I love music! I adore music! Music is my life!
Nevertheless, I won’t fall in love with a boyband ever again.

I love the memories I have with US5 and that is all!
