I wouldn't even call these "bands" because they play no instruments and can barely sing. To make matters worse, every one follows the same formula:

-- the good looking guy;
-- the talented guy (the only one who can actually sing);
-- the shy, quiet guy;
-- the "older brother" type; and
-- the "bad boy."
Boy bands are creepy. Here's 5 guys in their late-twenties and early-thirties who sing love songs to 12- and 13-year-old girls! Boy bands make R. Kelly look like the Patrib Saint of Chastity!

Michael wouldn't get off the phone with his girlfriend, so we all showed him our boy bands to distract him.

Get the Boy Band mug.
A group of "musicians" who rarely play their own instruments, consisting purely of reasonably attractive males who appeal to girls ages 10-14. This term does not apply to all bands that are comprised solely of males. It is used in reference to a specific genre of music artists who perform for a pre-teen audience in a mainstream pop/rock style.
N'Sync is a "boy band"

Boy bands are nothing but a bunch of no-talent, 30-year-old pretty boys who like to bend each other over!
