The boy band phenomena is something that has always astounded me. I always wonder why the appeal is so strong that these girls take on a mob mentality. One could link it to the fact that its almost always young teenage girls, and thus its their hormones and maturity level. But what purpose does mobbing a band serve, to bowl over everyone? And I haven't even heard of B5 yet.
