They are in good shape and have a well-worn charm. The main stage with vertical and horizontal geometric lines has infinite and far-reaching vision, and the auditorium of carrot light sticks is empty. When weird things become the norm, there are at least some songs from the good old days that connect directly to a simpler era without thinking. 
BSB in 1999 was probably not the greatest, but it was the most commercially successful band on the planet. This year, the Orlando-based boy band released "Millennium" in 1993, which sold more than 1 million copies in its first week of release. One of them, "I Want It That Way," stood its ground in time, beating The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" and The Beatles' "I Want You Back" two decades later. Want to Hold Your Hand" was ranked number one on Rolling Stone magazine's "Top 100 Boy Band Songs".
Louman was inspired by the "New Kids on the Block" of the 1980s to create BSB. After the success of BSB, he set out to form Super Boy, but based on the business thinking of "where there is McDonald's, there is KFC", instead of letting others make another BSB to make money, it is better to make the money for himself. Louman knew that the focus of boy bands was on "boys" rather than "bands." Boys will grow old and youth will fade away. We must race against time to let them light up the sky like fireworks, make girls scream, boys imitate, and make one after another golden songs constantly, so that the bigger the feast, the better.
Regarding the definition of "boy band", if the conditions are relaxed a little, the Beatles can be counted as the ancestors. The members of the boy band need to be young and beautiful, with a harmonic bloodline carried over from the "Barber Quartet". The most important thing is that they must have various characteristics of the dream lover, and a few people together form a rainbow of dream love.
BSB is more of a "boy band" in today's context. They are a carefully crafted product of the music industry, recruited rather than spontaneously formed by entertainment companies; members play no instruments on stage, rarely write their own songs, and are highly dependent on the music industry system that created them.
They look approachable, and their good looks aren't too good to be out of the ordinary, which means there's a good chance you've got a boy like this around. They live between reality and dreams. The personalities of the members are not so distinct that they tear the whole, but there is enough room for fans to develop their own preferences. Longtime BSB songwriter and songwriter Max Martin contributed. He wrote a dozen hits for them, and they continued to exist for more than two decades after they walked off the altar.
Backstreet Boys' "Black & Blue" sold 24 million copies in 2000, and "Never Gone" dropped to 10 million five years later. Things got even worse when Kevin Richardson left the band dissatisfied with the poor resources the band was getting. 2007's "Unbreakable" sold 1.7 million copies, and "This Is Us" (2009) halved.
If you told someone in their twenties and thirties that the Backstreet Boys never disbanded as a band and was 29 years old this year, that person would probably be surprised. Everyone disbanded. There is no boy band in middle age who still sings songs that are superficially happy, seemingly incomprehensible, but with emotions that transcend semantics and melody to pieces. Even if the hormones are no longer splashing, the later BSB still got the resident show in Las Vegas (a good home for "old" artists with high morals and high reputation), and from time to time, they will participate in the grand cruise concert with die-hard fans, and it was also held in 2018. Back on tour. In 2019, BSB's ninth studio album "DNA" reached number one on the Billboard Albums Chart, but sales were a fraction of what it used to be.
Two years ago in March, when the world entered a vicious circle of stagnation and shock, the members of the Backstreet Boys held an online concert together in their respective homes. The five people are framed in different backgrounds, and they have grown into middle-aged people visibly to the naked eye. Of course, the harmony will not be perfect. Five people appear in five frames that are out of reach of each other, showing the appearance of deep love and righteousness. Although we know that the relationship between the five is more complicated than it seems, the tacit understanding still exists. Only between people who have spent countless hours in the same physical space can there be such a tacit understanding that no matter what happens. It can still be felt across the screen, and the lacrimal gland responds first before we notice it, expressing our desire to be with the real person. "I'm with you" turns out to have a more urgent meaning besides love.
It's a bit laborious to install five people in a vertical screen. You have to get used to it or not. What else can't you get used to.

There is a scene in the American drama "Tokyo Vice" (Tokyo Vice) in Tokyo in 1999. Jack, an American who is a journalist in Japan, and Sato, a Tokyo gang member, are driving on an elevated road with the "Backstreet Boys" in the car. Boys, referred to as BSB) songs. Sato sings along intoxicated, calling BSB the greatest band on earth. Jack looked a little funny, a little contemptuous, with a tolerant expression, noncommittal to the admiration of this young Japanese man.BSB in 1999 was probably not the greatest, but it was the most commercially successful band on the planet.

Born in the afterglow of the 1990s pop music industry, Backstreet Boys was created by notorious but gifted entertainment mogul Per Lowman. Louman's sixty-year-old life has woven a riddled Ponzi scheme, and BSB and Superboy ('N Sync) are the few good things he left behind.Louman was inspired by the "New Kids on the Block" of the 1980s to create BSB.

The design mechanism of modern boy bands is similar to that of smartphones, and the expected service life is not long. Iterative updates are recommended in three or five years. Although the rules are clear, it is more difficult for the parties (whether it is the star himself or the fans) to accept it. As everyone knows, falling from a height is also part of the original intention of the design. Without frustration and tears, there is no possibility of changing with time in the future.Backstreet Boys' "Black & Blue" sold 24 million copies in 2000, and "Never Gone" dropped to 10 million five years later.

A lot of people have a sour nose, especially people who have forgotten about the band as adults. They are thinking of their youth and old friends, but not me. The world's first online concert of BSB's special edition in China just happened, with almost equal weight in words and songs. Backstreet Boys and Westlife are connected as partners rather than competitors. The screen is full of feelings related to youth. As a non-fan who has never bought a tape, there are more familiar songs than expected. Thanks to the pervasive broadcasting of the streets, radio and television in those days, making collective memories possible.It's a bit laborious to install five people in a vertical screen.
