Yeah I hated nkotb in elementary school because all the girls love them..they would smoke both groups
Funny how people are saying how heavily Nsync and BSB were influenced by black culture when NKOTB was literally that from the moment they came onto the scene.
They were the New Edition for white America. From Boston like NE, founded by their former manager and Donnie Wahlberg was their Bobby Brown when it came for the fukkery and "bad boy" image

I was in Kindergarten/ 1st Grade during their peak and their buzz was nauseating
Some of them even had decent solo runs during the 90s as well.
As for the thread , Nsync>BSB but not by much
Felt like Backstreet Boys never stepped out of their lane into black culture while Nsync did it late in their career but after approval (106 & Park)
