A boy band (or boyband) is loosely defined as a vocal group consisting
of young male singers, usually in their teenage years or in their
twenties at the time of formation, singing love songs marketed towards
young women. Many boy bands dance as well as sing, usually giving
highly choreographed performances.Some such bands form on their own.
They can evolve out of church choral or gospel music groups, but are
often created by talent managers or record producers who hold
auditions. Due to this and their general commercial orientation
towards a female audience of preteens, teenyboppers, or teens, the
term may be used with negative connotations in music journalism. Boy
bands are similar in concept to their counterparts, girl groups. Boy
bands' popularity peaked four times: in the 1960s (e.g., The Jackson
5), in the 1990s and early 2000s when acts such as the Backstreet
Boys, *NSYNC, A1 and Westlife, among others, dominated the top of the
Billboard and pop charts, in the early 2010s with the emergence of new
boy bands such as JLS, Big Time Rush, and One Direction, and in the
late 2010s with pop groups such as BTS, CNCO, and PRETTYMUCH.
