Episode 4 | 90’s Boy Band Oral History

The Adults Aren't Alright Season 1, Episode 4: 90's Boy Band Deep Dive.

Was there anything more perfect than a 90’s boy band? If your answer to that question is, “Absolutely nothing,” then this episode is for you.
I sat down with one of my best friends and fellow boy band authority, Sabrina Osborn, to do a deep dive into that intoxicating time of chair dances, The Era of the Music Video, and more floor humping than you could shake a (disco) stick at.

In this episode:

  • BSB and how they got started
  • The Backstreet/NYSYNC rivalry and what really caused it
  • Some discography (for pop-loving playlist building)
  • So much floor humping (it was an epidemic)
  • NKOTB
  • LFO
  • 98 Degrees
  • 90’s pop princesses
  • The painful art of stalking the girlfriends
  • The British Boyband Invasion: 5ive, BBMak
  • The importance of the 90’s music video
  • Back when the VMAs mattered
