Get the off-line mug.A triumph of marketing over talent.
Normally a group of males or females under the age of 25, recruited to form a band that sing in songs that are written and performed for them.
The band will normally consist of regular band members (animated meat bags), 1 member who can sing and also 1 non-threatening rebel.
Bands consisting entirely of female members will be expected to wear their underpants to work. In all, this leaves the male population feeling that the record buying teenagers of the world are depriving the porn industry of some excellent actresses.
