I did accidentally meet 'NSync while on assignment for the local metro paper (which I wrote for as a teen) in 1999. I left my friends in the dust and I didn't fall for boy bands. Of course, unbeknownst to me, I was just buying into another marketable sect, but I righteously felt that my plaid pants and obsessions with third wave ska & The Smashing Pumpkins set me apart. As pure pop crept back to cultural relevancy in the late 90s, I rejected it outright. The primary manner in which I attempted to distinguish myself, however, was through my musical taste. Sure, I was in the marching band (duh) and an honors student, but I dressed super weird & was also an active member in the Students' Rights Forum. I tried to be as much of a rebel as I could in high school. The mere mention of boy bands makes me feel like a scoffing teenager.
