What is the point of groups like the Backstreet Boys if they aren't popular anymore? Aren't they just cash cows anyways? I don't geddit...

Are they really still going? I thought the boyband (or manband or whatever the feck you wanna call 'em these days) market had died out somewhat...?

That market has long been dead, but they're attempting a comeback, regardless. Good luck to 'em.

What may surprise you is that many people still go out to see them. It's the lasting fans that keep them active. They've kind of gone into the "Hanson-style" of music. Generating fans and money while remaining under the radar.

I bet the people who go to see them are just nostalgic late twenty / early thirty year olds who wanna re - live a bit of their fading youth... and before people get all pissy with me for saying that, i fall directly into that age bracket...lol...

why is this even on this board?

Backstreet Boys aren't "music"; they're cartoon characters.

Millenium was the first album I ever owned

I guess we all have to start somewhere... my first album was a Richard Marx album, so, really, that wasa terrible start for me. I have gone on, (I think) to much better and brighter things...

My girlfriend wants me to go to their show with her. Admittely, I kinda dig some of their music even if I really shouldn't. =P Definently a guilty pleasure.
