Old Boybands

‘IT MIGHT SOUND CRAZY BUT IT AINT NO LIE, BABY BYE BYE BYE!’ I was on YouTube, listening to some old songs today. Then I came across music from *NSYNC. I listened to some of their songs and realized I could still sing along to all of their songs like I heard them yesterday. While I was listening I got hit by about 25 thousand memories from my childhood. When I was done with reliving that part of my life I moved on to the Backstreet boys and Westlife. The exact same thing happened. I felt like I was teleported more than 10 years back in time, suddenly I was that little girl again, dancing through my room, singing along to all of their songs like Bye Bye Bye, Uptown Girl and I Want It That Way. These songs pretty much dominated my childhood, I would sing them all day long, driving my parents crazy. (especially cause my English sucked so the sounds I produced probably sounded more like a caveman trying to sing than an 8 year old girl).  

Looking at the video’s I realized something else, their outfits looked pretty.. weird. Their clothes were just horrible. I know they were very ‘fashionable’ in ‘their’ time and I’ll probably laugh my ass of at the clothes we’re wearing nowadays in 10 years too but it sure was hilarious. They looked ridiculous in their matching clothes (like orange jumpsuits with their sparkly names on the back), but that just adds to the fun. And I’m not even gonna start about their hair. They were really talented though, and they could really dance.. sort of, not something you see a lot in boy bands these days.

And in my opinion, music nowadays is.. different. I love a lot of the artists that are really big now like Bruno Mars (surprise), Beyoncé, Jason Mraz etc. But I’d choose songs from these old boy bands over songs from ‘modern day’ boy bands or artists like Pitbull anytime (not that their music is bad, its just different). In my opinion this music from the 90s is just so much better than some of the music we are bombarded with these days.
