So much negativity!
In honor of the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys tour coming to Philadelphia, a writer at the Philadelphia branch of the AV Club posts an article about how this dual-nostalgia tour doesn't work, even though/especially as the author was a New Kids on the Block fan when he was 9. Fairly normal in tone and content for a website like the AV Club, and since it's on one of the regional sites, who cares, right?
Nick Carter, obviously. The Backstreet Boys singer is "not gonna let this guy dog me and my hard working 8 brothers." Hearing the alarm sounded, the NKOTBSB fans rush to defend the honor of their champions.
Musical nazis-they are everywhere. And the more people enjoy themselves with the simple pleasures of pop music, of whatever genre or generation, the more they chant and march and throw their salutes into the air. Amazingly though, the very preteen and teen aged fans who are so disparaged in this article for their blind alliance to boybands have grown up. We aren't blind, we're very aware of where they come from, who is making money off of them and who is not. They are no longer our only musical enjoyment, but by GOD, we're old enough now to not give a rat's damn about what the musical "purists" say. So rant away, I'm heading out to travel a couple of states to see the Backstreet Boys in NKOTBSB!! I Want It That Way!
You are so full of hatred and navigability it's scary. Backstreet Boys have FAR more talent than you will ever HOPE to achieve in life. You are a bitter old idiot who is most likely lacks many friends. NKOTB, BSB, N'SYNC, etc all got where they were because they have talent. Fans associate with that music, grow, appreciate it, and continue to support their beloved artists. So just because their vocal ability can't pierce your frozen, blackened heart, doesn't mean you have any business to tear them down like you have. If you don't like that type of music, shut up and move on. I don't like A Tribe Called Quest or Public Enemy, but I'm not about to write a scathing review of them or insult you for liking them. GROW THE F*** UP.
Synical ignorance, Negative oblivian, BSB as well as NKOTB are icons, they make people like myself happy and maybe just maybe if you had a brain inside your big head youd realize its not the looks or esspecially thier age that does that, Its thier art and passion for thier craft we as fans crave. Apparently you can remember the bliss you felt as a child but have lost the lust for life as an adult- listen to thier music and find a small piece of what it is that defined your career as a music writer to begin with, the love for the art.
