Remember when you couldn’t wait to get the latest issue of J-14 or Teen Beat or Pop Star so that you could take the staples out and cover your walls with fashionably dressed teen pop hunk? If you’re wondering how ridiculous that seems today, look no further than this collection of weird boy band photoshoots that were once suuuuper attractive to teen girls and now it’s suuuuper embarrassing that I could ever scotch tape a picture of 5 guys dressed in overalls on my wall. I have graciously broken each example down by theme.

Trends come and go, but puppies are FURRRR-ever.

We sing and do choreographed dance moves, but WE LIKE SPORTS TOO.

Don’t judge us because we like the way silk feels…

“One is silver and the other’s gold.”

Mah dressed us.

Whoutfits make us seem laid back and super casj.

Peekaboo, we wear briefs!

Denim isn’t cool unless it’s coordinated with your bros.

We Woke Up Like This

The THAT’S SO 90’s group hang

Just in case you forget who we are…Check my bodysuit OR my visor.

The smart outerwear look

Only the finest of linens

We have better jewelry than you (apparently Dreamstreet’s only styling tip)

We do Xtreme stuff! SO HARDCORE.

The “Happy Holidays, Grrrlll”

WTF. No seriously. What could possibly be occurring here?

And finally…the CLASSIC shirtless hunks with less desired members artfully placed/covered so as not to distract from the real man meat of the group:
