Boy bands are even creepier than you thought
Think Progress takes a closer listen to your favorite boy band jams and realizes things are creepier than you initially thought:
- The Monkees are dismissive to women.
- The Jackson 5 slut-shames.
- *N Sync defines textbook negging.
- The Backstreet Boys are straight up needy.
I just had this necessary followup with our culture blogger & author of the piece Alyssa Rosenberg:
Me: What about LFO?
Alyssa: They’re mostly just horrible, less creepy
Me: Really? I’d say there’s a little creepiness.
Alyssa: They’re oglers rather than controllers
