i hear ya. i do think the 'boy band' phenomenon has shifted to cater a more 'alternative' crowd.

case in point being my 21 year old 'teeniebopper' pop culture boy-band obsessed friend wanting me to go to further seems forever with her and getting into jason mraz, and the whole "punk" thing, etc. while it might be true that some of these bands originally had a more indie non-mainstream following, this is becoming the new cool.

the teenieboppers, pop culture freaks follow the trends. but the fans that have remained in the scene or the music long before them aren't necessarily worshipping the new boy bands either. it pisses me off when i see trendie girls at indie shows :P you can spot them from a mile away.
