Heard of them, but couldn't name a single song or pinpoint their genre.

Checked out a song on YT to get an idea and it was literally just a generic boy band. I mean... I guess their songs rhyme? But then, so do nursery rhymes, and they haven't been my thing for quite a while now.

To each their own.

Amazing. Every word you just said was wrong.

Now this is how you troll. Well done.

"Generic Boy Band" hahahahah

I'm not a fan of them, but they are anything but a "boy band". They aren't GQ/looks driven, their success origin was spoofing rap music, they're incredibly talented/skilled musicians who have been compared to the likes of Medeski, Martin and Wood.

It's so weird how people on the Internet will see a group talking about how they all like or at least appreciate something, and the one person has to make sure everyone knows just how dumb and ridiculous they think that thing is.

I'm curious what kind of objectively better music an enlightened soul like yourself considers good.

The Teletubbies theme song was pretty cool.

Pretty much anything from a major band in the same genre is better, in my view.

Their music is kinda awful.

They're not generally what people refer to with the term "boy band".

A boy band is a vocal group consisting of young male singers, usually in their teenage years or in their twenties at the time of formation. Generally, boy bands perform love songs marketed towards girls and young women. Many boy bands dance as well as sing, usually giving highly choreographed performances.

Um, they're a band, and their name clearly states that they're "boys". Ergo, a boy band. QED.
