The theory that in any given boy band, two of the members are gay for each other. Begun by crazed fangirls . You can see examples of this by going to Youtube and typing in a live performance by a band, and checking the comments. This is followed by name combination.
The boy band effect is the phenomenon when a group of 3 or more boys of mediocre looks are hanging out together in a bar, mall, sporting event etc. When alone the boys would not merit a second glance from a nearby female but when together their averageness combines to form a cute cluster of males like that of a boy band. Works best when one guy is actually good looking. The boy band effect pulls up the ranking of looks the same way a British accent, suit, instrument or baby/puppy would. See cheerleader effect for female equivalent.
Jessica - "Lets go talk to those guys they're cute!"
Tory - "No, look closer"
Jessica - "You're right only one is cute - total boy band effect - bummer"
a group(usually 4 or 5) sissy boys who do NOT play instruments. sing crappy pop music; stupid gaylove songs that they didn't even write themselves. only pre-teens and teenie boopers like them.
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.
