In casual conversation with someone the other day I was talking about my favorite music and mentioning groups. I mentioned the eagles and for a second he said "you mean the sports team" and I was like "no the music group". Then he said, "oh you mean that boy band from 40 years ago?" and I was like "yeah, but they weren't a boy band".
technically you could call them a boy band since they were all dudes in there 20s/early 30s but when I hear the word "boy band" I think of wannabe hip hop white guys like New Kids or NSYNC. Has anyone here heard them called a "boy band" before?
