*NSYNC | Pt. 1: Their Music & Influence

PART 1 OF 2. Ana & Ceci are joined by friend Teena to break down the music and cultural influence of *NSYNC (Ana's favorite boyband). We start off discussing our *NSYNC origin stories as well as other pivotal moments in our lives associated with them; seeing them in concert,  waiting in line for their CDs, and watching their TV concert specials. We then do a deep dive into their self-titled 1998 album. *Warning: This episode leans VERY heavily on the musical abilities of JC Chasez, and also gives a lot of credit to the talents of Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone. NSYNC’s 2003 Bee Gees Medley: https://youtu.be/kDgh0Tlw5I8

Om Podcasten

Connecting with a pop group when we're young is often one of the most defining moments of our lives, but why are we so afraid to talk about it? This podcast is devoted to exploring the importance of pop music, including the music of boybands. It’s also a critique of society looking down on music many genuinely enjoy. Fans of boybands (consisting of mostly women and LGBTQ+ folk) often feel a stigma if they express their admiration for certain groups. Additionally, despite their talent & popularity, no modern boyband has won a Grammy. We explore all this on This Must Be Pop.
