Boy bands were a huge fad back in the late 90s, and it seemed like everywhere we looked, another one of these groups were appearing. That was hardly a bad thing, and for a while many of us enjoyed the so-called golden age of boy bands, reveling in that 90s goodness and those classic dance vibes. These boy bands left us with some amazing hits over the years, and most of them sound just as good today as when we first heard them booming through the speakers all those years ago. It really is a testament to the sheer amount of talent that was prevalent back in the 90s.
But there are plenty of boy bands still going today, some of which are just as popular as the Backstreet Boys or NSync were back in the day. Sure, we're probably never going to see that same 90s vibe and "feel" that boy bands seemed to have in the 90s, but music is constantly evolving. That being said, some things never change. It seems like a group of attractive guys who get together and make catchy tunes will always be a guaranteed money maker in the music industry, and that's really nothing to complain about. Is it actually possible to match all these boys to their boy bands? Try this quiz to find out...
