DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was looking for something in regards to ONE OK ROCK, when I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/jpop/comments/2vl0rk/one_ok_rock_a_boy_band/ It's interesting. Do you agree with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerySappy 600 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Aside from the fact that Taka is a former member of NEWS, I think they are not a boy band. Maybe it's because of their huge female fanbase that they are labelled as a boy band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuu-sus 847 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 no, just cuz they are good looking and having lots of fangirls doesn't make them a boyband although I hate their Lincoln Park sounding shit, that user is super condescending thinking whatever girls like is frivolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
초췌 270 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Are you promoting your post on reddit? lmao If people can admit 5sauce is a boy band, why can't they admit that OOR is one, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myth 6,602 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF This is idiotic. This really has nothing to do with the stigma of the term 'boy band'. They simply aren't one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

�幸� 1,488 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 They used to be a legit indie band. I should know. I was a fan from their FIRST release (I was really excited partly because I was a NEWS fan and was so intrigued what's up with Moriuchi - yeah we used to call him that). But they're an idol rock band now, let's admit it...still their music is very good. I'm also following the rock band of another ex-NEWS member Kusano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByeByeGlenn 55 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Doesn't matter. Either way, their music beats out 99% of boy bands out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzokusan 38 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Then you might as well call Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Simple Plan, Taking Back Sunday, and all those pop punk bands with a large female following boy bands too lol. My Chemical Romance would be a boy band too. Put a bunch of attractive guys together and therell be a large female follwing basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I love Poison even though I'm a guy, myself. Their song "Sacrifice" was my jam growing up thanks to my parents and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenElizabeth 1,470 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I do consider them a boyband, but like manzokusan mentioned I consider groups like Fall Out Boy or Green Day like boybands as well so that probably just that I think boybands are something different than most people do...

DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 I gave "Wherever You Are" a 4/10 on Arama and I was called a trashy gay with a bad personality and a scumbag who should suck it. This is confirmation via their fans that they are in fact a boyband. Even the most rabid Arashi fans there don't do this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzokusan 38 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Lol ya'll candown vote all you want but it's true. I was heavy into those emo/pop punk bands and the fans really aren't any different than boy band fans. They ship the members, write fanfics, and are very possessive over the band members. Like all the "real" rock fans would complain about how those bands were all a bunch of gay sissies because their fans were mostly teenage girls. I don't think those bands are boy bands though, since they're not manufactured and write their own music. Most of them are really talented musicians and songwriters too. (Not saying boy bands don't have talent but whatev)Their fans really arent much different than 5D or whatever. I mean back in the day My Chemical Romance even made it to #1 on TRL (yep, showing my age right now...do kids nowadays even know what that is? Lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
