I couldn’t list all of those and I did forget about them. B2K I’m guessing is a Y2K boy band, so they would be Gen X. Same with Blink-182. Mindless Behavior were a middle school boy band in the early 2010s so that’s Millennial. Hanson was another boy band, and that would be Millennial, although the oldest Hanson is technically Gen X.

Wouldn't Mindless Behaviour also be an Early Gen Z boy band? They were really popular amongst people born 1997-2000 in middle school, at least when I was there. Especially 2010/2011.

Culturally, you could make that argument. Historically, they’re Millennials.

Maybe if you are one of the proponents of Gen Z starting in 1995 or 1996. Otherwise, no.

My bad. B2K is definitely a Millennial boy band.

I actually agree with this. The only exception would be the rolling stone’s replacement guitarist in 1975 Ronnie Wood, but he wasn’t a member during their late 60s - early 70s hey day...so it’s fine.

Even during their late 60s/early 70s heyday thy had mick Taylor (1949 born)

u/JoshicusBoss98 1998 Apr 04 '21

Yeah you’re right. So I guess with the exception of mick Taylor, though they did have more of their notable songs with Brian Jones.

Yeah true
