    Genders OnLine Journal - "I Want It That Way": Teenybopper Music and the Girling of Boy Bands 1/16/12 11:22 PM Genders 35 2002 Copyright ©2002 Ann Kibbey. "I Want It That Way" Back to: Teenybopper Music and the Girling of Boy Bands by GAYLE WALD You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way. - Backstreet Boys, "I Want It That Way" [1] Among recent trends in youth music culture, perhaps none has been so widely reviled as the rise of a new generation of manufactured "teenybopper" pop acts. Since the late 1990s, the phenomenal visibility and commercial success of performers such as Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and 'N Sync has inspired anxious public hand-wringing about the shallowness of youth culture, the triumph of commerce over art, and the sacrifice of "depth" to surface and image. By May 2000, so ubiquitous were the jeremiads against teenybopper pop performers and their fans that Pulse, the glossy in-house magazine of Tower Records, would see fit to mock the popularity of Spears and 'N Sync even as it dutifully promoted their newest releases. Featuring a cover photo of a trio of differently outfitted "Britney" dolls alongside a headline reading "Sells Like Teen Spirit"--a pun on the title of the breakthrough megahit ("Smells Like Teen Spirit") by the defunct rock band Nirvana--Pulse coyly plotted the trajectory of a decade's-long decrescendo in popular music: from the promise of grunge, extinguished with the 1994 suicide of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, to the ascendancy of girl and boy performers with their own look-alike action figures.

  • One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and Their Fans
    One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Annie Lyons TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 2020 __________________________________________ Renita Coleman Department of Journalism Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Hannah Lewis Department of Musicology Second Reader 2 ABSTRACT Author: Annie Lyons Title: One Direction Infection: Media Representations of Boy Bands and their Fans Supervising Professors: Renita Coleman, Ph.D. Hannah Lewis, Ph.D. Boy bands have long been disparaged in music journalism settings, largely in part to their close association with hordes of screaming teenage and prepubescent girls. As rock journalism evolved in the 1960s and 1970s, so did two dismissive and misogynistic stereotypes about female fans: groupies and teenyboppers (Coates, 2003). While groupies were scorned in rock circles for their perceived hypersexuality, teenyboppers, who we can consider an umbrella term including boy band fanbases, were defined by a lack of sexuality and viewed as shallow, immature and prone to hysteria, and ridiculed as hall markers of bad taste, despite being driving forces in commercial markets (Ewens, 2020; Sherman, 2020). Similarly, boy bands have been disdained for their perceived femininity and viewed as inauthentic compared to “real” artists— namely, hypermasculine male rock artists. While the boy band genre has evolved and experienced different eras, depictions of both the bands and their fans have stagnated in media, relying on these old stereotypes (Duffett, 2012). This paper aimed to investigate to what extent modern boy bands are portrayed differently from non-boy bands in music journalism through a quantitative content analysis coding articles for certain tropes and themes.

  • Backstreet Boys Release Brand New Single “Don't Go
    BACKSTREET BOYS RELEASE BRAND NEW SINGLE “DON’T GO BREAKING MY HEART” GROUP SIGNS WITH RCA RECORDS OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO NOW ONLINE BSB CONFIRMED FOR GOOD MORNING AMERICA SUMMER CONCERT SERIES + KIIS FM WANGO TANGO CLICK HERE TO LISTEN AND WATCH! On the heels of their 25th anniversary, the Backstreet Boys have signed with RCA Records who released their electric new single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” today May 17th, along with its official music video directed by long time BSB collaborators Rich + Tone. “The minute we heard this song we knew it was special,” says Kevin Richardson. “I geeked out over the piano and synths. When that groove drops on the second verse, COME ON. Great verse, hook and melodies. Just makes you wanna listen over and over again.” In support of the new single, BSB will return to the Good Morning America Summer Concert Series in New York’s Central Park on July 13th. The group will also perform at a series of summer radio shows like this year’s KIIS FM Wango Tango before returning to their record-breaking “Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life” Las Vegas Residency. Tour dates below. Recorded immediately after the first leg of their highly successful Las Vegas residency, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” has the energy of a group who had a remarkable year and who channeled their excitement into a new song that hits harder and funkier than ever before. It’s hard not to think the group's latest activities didn’t shape this track. Whether it's the creative relationship with Florida Georgia Line that earned BSB their first #1 Country radio single; working with a variety of new and young producers; there’s an undeniable energy and creativity surrounding the Backstreet Boys and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” is an extraordinary new track from a group who continues to impress 25 years into their storied career.

  • Top Party Songs from the 90'S By: Nanette Pawelek with Holiday
    Top Party Songs from the 90's By: Nanette Pawelek With holiday, New Year, and post New Year parties in full swing, flavorful music, especially from decades past, often weasel their way into the playlist. Imagine, you're socializing with friends, having a drink, enjoying some delightful party snacks, and suddenly, the relatively composed guests lift their arms and catapult their bodies into the air to Kris Kross's epic 90's song, "Jump." People that you would not imagine just "bust a move," as the rapper "Young MC" coined a year before the epic 90's began, and showcase their lyrical lip syncing talents they forgot they had. Heads bobble, and bodies crash up and down on the dance floor as the words, "Jump, jump/ The Mac Dad will make ya Jump Jump / The Daddy Mac will make ya Jump Jump / Kris Kross will make ya Jump Jump" seamlessly slide off the tips of their tongues into the equally enthusiastic crowd. The song comes to an unfortunate end, and you and your friends look at each other, smile, slightly proud and maybe even a little shocked, and think, "Those were the days." You laugh a little, and then return to the contemporary moment. While Kross's unforgettable "Jump" may prompt current audiences to lose themselves in a decade past, it's hard to forget how often 90's music inspired collective dancing and even uncanny fashion selections such as the illustrious "Hammer pants." These inventive, yet ironic re- appropriation of "harem" pants, were more than just fashion. They were a way of life and possessed a distinct attitude: carefree, agile, and truly "funky." MC Hammer lit up the stage with these carefully tapered at the ankle "parachute pants," as he relayed, "You can't touch this/ Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics/ You can't touch this/ Fresh new kicks, advance / You gotta like that, now, you know you wanna dance." Everyone was on board and wanted to dance.

The airwaves were being dominated by artists such as Britney Spears, Nelly, Blink 182, Destiny’s Child and many more. The huge idea of this era was the rise in boy bands and how impactful they’ve become with such a small amount of time. A boy band can be defined as a vocal group consisting of young male singers, usually in their teenage years or in their early twenties who sing a majority of love songs, have very insync and amazing choreographed dance moves, no physical instruments being played by the members of the band, a huge fan base (usually younger girls), lastly, a couple of heartthrobs to make the fans go crazy.
