“Do you ever wonder why, this music gets you hot? It takes you on a ride…” – N’sync

Just yesterday I was sitting here on this lovely Mac computer instant messaging my dear friend Justine when she sent me a few youtube links. Much to my surprise when I clicked on them I realized I was watching very OLD videos from N’sync and the Backstreet Boys. I just have to say, videos back in the mid 90s, not to mention the European releases, were not all that good. Kind of cheesy in fact, but still it brought back an array of memories for me.

Almost 21 now I look back to my pre-teen years and I remember the songs that I loved so dearly at the time. The words are just complete crap. I mean, if any guy really said the kind of things they said to a woman they would either get:

A. Slapped
B. Kneed in the crotch
C. Laughed at
D. All of the above and then some.

For example:

“If you want it to be good girl, get yourself a bad boy” – Backstreet Boys

Come on! Haha. Even though I think those songs are pretty lame, I still love them. They do have pretty catchy rhythms and melodies. Even though I don’t dance, not in public anyway, they make me dance in my seat in front of this very screen.

I am not ashamed to admit I was an avid teenybopper. I bought all the magazines for the delicious posters that became like wallpaper. Out of all the boy groups out there I have to say my heart belonged to the Backstreet Boys. Those boys were the first to bring back that whole boy group thing and they did it right. They can really sing their butts off! I was a Howie Dorough fan; up until he straightened his ever-growing long hair then I left him for another longhaired man named David Eric Grohl.

The song Pop by N’sync has been stuck in my head since yesterday and I blame Justine for that. I love how even the silliest of songs can bring back the best of memories. The songs from my past were fun and they still are pretty fun. It was nice to look back on those fun days. But, I am glad of how much I grew from that period. Apart of me will always been a teenybopper at heart.

BSB FOREVER!
