This is hilarious.

I was actually one of those who never got into the boybands so I was just WTFing at all this, lol. A girlfriend dragged me to an NSYNC concert when we were in high school. It was probably the worst night of my life.

Haha yesss. I never realize that they all looked pretty terrible... outfits-wise. The glitter one was funny though, it looked like they just took a swim in a pool of cocaine.

OMFG...that last one of Nick Carter totally took my back to jr. high.

And omg I can't believe how ridiculous 90's fashion was...woah (a-la-joey lawrence)!

I gave up at #40.

I am dying at these pictures.

LOL at the tight baby tees. I loved NSYNC way more than I liked BSB back in the day, but man oh man, their outfits were TERRIBLE!! come to think of it, their music was terrible too, I guess.

I want to interview them and specifically ask them wardrobe questions. I bet looking back they have pushed this ridiculousness into the back recesses of their minds.

I'd also like to know how much control they had over what poses they were photographed doing. Whoever had creative control in that department failed badly. I totally forgot how horribly cheesy every boy band picture in existance is.

I'd also like to say that I feel old-ish since I considered The Monkees more of MY boyband. Ah! I had a thing for that Davy Jones.

i did have a New Kids and Boyz 2 Men thing as well though.

Oh my, JT was a walking Tommy advertisement back in the day.

I lol'd at Justin's top ramen hair. Ick.

blgrout · August 2012

wow. I really like how they had to point out that the giant objects in their hands were cell phones in #41.

And Justin's ramen hair is priceless.

I'm with you Anna. Though had Bo & Luke Duke had a band, they would have been my first choice.

Me neither. I also don't remember them looking that young when they first started out, too. Like the last photo of Nick Carter. I would have sworn that was taken long before they got big in the USA.
