The Evolution of Boybands
Were The Beatles a boyband? This question has sparked heated debates across the social media platform, TikTok, with opinions split between those who see them as the original boyband and those who argue they transcended the label. The term "boyband" itself carries a mix of admiration and stigma—often associated with manufactured pop groups, choreographed performances, and devoted teenage fanbases. But as the music industry has evolved, so has the definition of a boyband. From The Beatles to BTS, each generation has reshaped what it means to be part of this phenomenon, challenging the idea that boybands lack artistic credibility. Additionally, the perception of boybands is often tied to their fanbase—specifically, the intense judgment directed at "fangirls."
