What are the purposes of girl bands? They are there for girls to aspire to and for guys to ogle. What are the purposes of boy bands? for girls to scream at them for no apparent reason but yet still adore them. And why do they ogle and adore? Because of their looks. Their music comes second.

For as long as i have been aware of the pop world, there have been boy bands as i knew of the very first boy band - New Kids On The Block. From them generated so many spawns and then the girl bands sprung up too. Take That, Backstreet Boys, *N-Sync, Eternal, Atomic Kitten, Sugababes, Spice Girls to name just a few off the top of my head and there are so many more it would take years to name them all.

They all are good looking people and have the energy to cope with long extensive tours of the continent. Whether they can sing or not is not an issue. If they can sing it is known as a bonus. Instrument playing is not something they have to worry about because there will be too much dancing about on stage to have time to sit down and play an instrument and show musical ability. This is because of the record companies drive to get more money out of youngsters which is who these "idols" are aimed at.

Their music will be bland in the sense that it will be a up beat cheesy pop tune or a slow love ballad that has everyone singing along to the "catchy" chorus and each member will have a different personailty, therefore appealing to all different types of girls who will argue which band member is best and why. There is no need to explore different areas of music and their wholesome image must be maintained. If not only one member will be like this, the "bad boy or girl" of the group, therefore fitting a stereotype that the record company wants of them to be. Theres no originality in the image that they give, they all are copycats of each other and while the gap in the market is there, there will always be boybands and girlbands b
ecause the youngsters who haven't broaden their musical horizons demand them
