growing up i listened to smashing pumpkins, stone temple pilots, pearl jam, etc. then i got into the whole hip hop thing and at that period of time and i was really closed minded about the type of music id listen to. yeah, dumb. i remember i used to think the backstreet boys were corny and things of that sort.. until i actually listened to their songs and i thought "oh my buddha, i was so wrong." i had my parents buy me everything that had anything to do with bsb. see, music is music and good music is good music. doesnt matter what genre, doesnt matter what the color of their skin is, doesnt matter. i still listen to stp and mosh at concerts and i still dance my ass off at the clubs to t.i. and weezy. BUT im a fan of the backstreet boys because they changed the way i thought AND im a ten year die hard fan because they have talent and they never fail to produce and deliver GOOD MUSIC. very general, i know but seriously, what am i supposed to say? aj, nick, brian, howie and kevin, theyre all freakin sexy as hell, we all know that already right? and they all sing like freakin gods so what the hey.. there you go, thats why im a fan. a big fan. a huge gigantic fan<3
