Mixer's Notes: Made for
waywardmixes' Round 14: Journeys. I chose to interpret the theme a little differently than most, by going on a journey through time. I struggled with this one until this came to me. It would be hard to go through and explain each group I used, so instead I'll explain the boy band phenomenon. A boy band is a singing group of three or more young men who perform the most saccharin of pop songs, while typically gaining a fan base of prepubescent girls. They usually see a really strong beginning to their career, but their popularity wanes as their fan base ages, and the next group comes along to woo the next batch of preteen girls. Also, I was only able to produce a Spotify playlist by the time posting closed, due to my computer being out of commission right now.
