Summary:
"The music, the fans, the choreography, the clothes, the merch, the hair. Long after Beatlemania came and went, a new unstoppable
boy
band era emerged. Fueled by good looks and even greater hooks, the pop phenomenon that dominated the '80s, '90s, and 2000s has left a long-lasting mark on culture, and it's time we celebrate it. Written by super fan Maria Sherman, this is the definitive guide to
boy
bands
, delivered with a mix of serious obsession and tongue-in-cheek humor. Larger Than Life begins with a brief history of
male
vocal
groups
, spotlighting The Beatles, the Jackson 5, and Menudo before diving into the building blocks of these beloved acts in "
Boy
Bands
101." She also focuses on artists like New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, One Direction, and BTS before ending with an interrogation into the future of
boy
bands
. Included throughout are Tiger Beat-inspired illustrations, capsule histories of the swoon-iest
groups
, in-depth investigations into one-hit wonders, and sidebars dedicated to conspiracy theories, dating, in-fighting, haters, fan fiction, fashion (Justin and Britney in denim, of course), and so much more. Informative, affectionate, funny, and never, ever fan-shaming, Larger Than Life is the first and only work of its kind: the ultimate celebration of
boy
bands
and proof that this once maligned music can never go unappreciated."
