I thought this was about boy bands, not MTV's affect on the music scene.

Granted MTV plays a large part in a band's exposure but it does not turn a rock/punk/rap group into a boy band. The boy band tag implies bubble-gum lyrics, synthesizer driven "music" and cute little line-dance numbers.

Metallica, Guns 'N' Roses, and several other bands were/are big-time MTV sluts but they are not boy bands.
