A music group of young men that produce popular music that usually appeals to a teenage female audience. Boybands may or may not play instruments, usually the difference between a band and a boyband is with the behavior of its fans. Fans of boybands are more attracted to the members(visually and romantically), and fans of bands only typically care about the music.

Characteristics of a boyband:
-Signed to a major record label
-All music is not written by band members
-Fans are focused on individual members, rather than the music
-Boybands usually promote a product (ex. holding a contest through retail company like Target or Walmart, or being in commercials that advertise something unrelated to their music)
Girl 1: "That new boyband, 5 seconds of summer, is all over the radio."

Girl 2: "Omg! No! They're a pop punk band!! I'm literally dying right now, how could you be so stupid?!?! Go to hell!! You're a bitch!!"

Girl 1: "They're actually a Boy Band, they don't write most of their pop song's music. They're signed to Capitol records, one of the biggest record labels in the world. They appeal to teenage "fangirls", and their concerts consist of obsessive girls screaming the members names."

Girl 2: "Shut up, freak! You're just stupid and jealous!!!!"

Girl 1: "I'm supposed to be jealous of a boyband that has annoying fans and who is hated by real pop punk bands?"

Any group of young guys who sing/play songs that talk about respecting women and love. Are called gay by haters because they don't talk about bad stuff like hate and violence
Mother: "Guess what is on the invitation our daughter used to invite me to her meeting? Nickelback!"
Father: "That gay boy band?"
Child: "Nickelback aren't a boy band! Just because they get airplay on pop stations doesn't mean they're a boy band!"

the new boy band is just as sad as all the abandoned ones from the '90s, but disguised better as an actual band. called "emo" sometimes, also thought of as "pop-punk"-- (there's no such thing as pop punk!!!) Usually characterized by whining voices about lost Love and hipster fuck outfits, the new boy bands might be worst than the first, outright fakes in that they are in denial and won't admit their own sorry commercialism conformity.
"I'm not in a boy band! I'm emo man. We're true to our music."
