New Kids on the Block

I cant believe us slackers didnt define this better sooner!

A group of 5 pop singing hotties from Boston who caused mania in pre-teen and teen girls worldwide. They gained popularity in 1988 producing multiple awards, #1's and top 10 hits until disbanding in 1994. After the band split, blockheads (NKOTB fans) were left with empty hearts, and buttons, dolls, shirts, and albums were placed away into their personal time capsule.

Time caplules were opened up in 2008 A reunion tour and album was made. Expected by some, very unexpected by others the NKOTB have been causing mania once again, in their female fans. Fans NKOTB shirts dont fit anymore (Though some try) but years of memories, photos, buttons, cassetes, videos, and emotions have been brought back out.

The band membersare all still delicious looking. They are Jordan Knight, Jon Knight, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood, and Donnie Wahlberg.

They have done an amazing job at welcoming the fans back into their lives, and have made alot of effort to meet their fans, something that was just a dream the first go around.

A belated urban welcome back boys!
Lyrics-New Kids on the Block-1986
"Cause once we start to jam, you'll be in a state of shock
Clear the way party people, we're the new kids on the block"

New Kids On The Block

The starting point for an entire genre of music that is defined as complete shit and short lived. Often called boy bands.
One Direction is the New Kids On The Block for 2013.

New Kids On The Block

The template for all the shitty pop boy bands that are here today, gone tomorrow. They started out in 1986 and ended in 1994. They lip-synched and pranced around on stage to a drum machine that they DID NOT program or know how to.

NOTE: Menudo from Puerto Rico was an early 80s predecessor. Like NKOTB, only t(w)een girls like these lip-synching losers.
1. N'SYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, etc. are successors to New Kids On the Block. They had their famous 15 and are assembly line made and they suck suck SUCK.
2. Those new K-pop bands of today are just Korean versions of New Kids On The Block. Fuck them all. Check out the K-rock band 57 (pronounced 'Oh Chill') instead. I've seen them, met them and they are AWESOME.
3. Why? Why am I alive? The world is filled with hate, death, pollution and New Kids On The Block!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
