Boy bands have always captured uninhibited teen joy and the deepest, darkest doom. Listening to them right now is an instant dose of serotonin — a flashback to a patch of sunny teenage joy
Photo: Getty Images During my time inside, I have been coping with activities I used to find incredibly comforting, like playing Super Nintendo and reading cookbooks cover to cover the way I did as a kid. I’ve also been listening to boy bands, even more than I usually do.
Sure, these bands have been made fun of for being cheesy or untalented . But get past that and you’ll realize that these albums are perfect for the wild mood swings I know I’ve been going through hour by hour. Turn on ’N Sync’s No Strings Attached, which recently turned 20, and bop around your kitchen to “Bye Bye Bye,” desperately trying to remember the choreography. Then, if despair starts to creep back in, listen to “This I Promise You,” just six tracks later, and cry.
Prettymuch, based in L.A., have been together since 2016 and have released a few EPs since then. Their first single, “Would You Mind,” is a certifiable bop, and the corresponding dance visual — set atop a parking garage — is high art. As with so many boy bands of the current era, they all kinda look like young hypebeasts you’d see in a Supreme line, but don’t let that dissuade you from listening to them.
