"See, my idea of cute comes with an IQ requirement. It's geeky cute. It's Rivers Cuomo, not Justin Timberlake. It's Gideon Yago, not Brian McFyden. Jimmy Fallon, yes please! Bradd Pitt, no thank you."
- Second Helpings, Megan McCafferty. (Pg 17)

"Because it is doubtful that Hum-V will be remembered in the annals of music history, I will briefly describe their contribution to popular culture here.
Hum-V is what I predict will be the last teenbopper trifle to come off the Orlando assembly line, a group put together in a desperately calculated attempt to cash in on TRL's 'NSYNC-Eminem polarization, squeezing every last bit of air out of the barely breathing boy-band genre. Hum-V's faux funky jams and toothachey ballads sound as synth-cheesy as their nonthreatening, harmonizing predecessors', but their lyrics are painstakingly incendiary. Hum-V is the first boy band to earn a Parental Advisory Warning label." (pg 21)
