Where did all the boy bands go?

Since I’m doing the backstreet boys for the final project this time I thought I would blog about what happened to all the boy bands and question why aren’t there any boy bands around during this time period.  I mean really, they were so huge in the 90’s; N’SYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees, etc. what made them disappear, why don’t we listen to them anymore?  I really have no answer to this question because it seems like people still listen to the same old “bubble-gum pop” today as they did in the 90s so I really have no idea why boy bands seem to no longer exsist.  Well, I mean they do exisit, the Backstreet Boys just came out with a new album, but seriously, how many people acutally bought that album and how many people are acutally still listening to them?  It seems like today all that people are interested in is solo artists or actual bands where people play their instruments, which I fully agree with.  I mean that’s basically what I listen to also.  I just think its very strange that none of the boy bands can seem to make it work now when they could make it work 10 years ago when people are still listening to the same kind of pop that they were listening to then.
