I'm a fan because every Backstreet Boy has the power to inspire me. Whether it's by something that has happened to them in their life, something they have done.. Or the lyrics they're singing. Also, they remind me of how things used to be.. Things that are important to remember. The music these men (as they definitely no longer fit the term "boys", by any means) put forth into the world.. It can make me happy, when nothing else can. And if it can't make me happy, it atleast helps me realize that there's someone out there who has been through it, same as I have.. Or worse. That's why I'm a fan.. Why are you?
