The late ‘90s and early ‘00s brought about a pop music surge that included boy bands, pop princesses and girl groups. They were the pillars of a golden age of MTV’s Trl and brought about a new brand of fandom among a certain generation of trucker cap-wearing adults. Lance Bass lived through this era as a member of *Nsync, one of the hugest boy bands in the history of pop culture. With the fanatic glitz and glamour of it all, Bass should have lived like a king with stacks of cash, but the new documentary The Boy Band Con: The Lou Pearlman Story directed by Aaron Kunkel sings a different tune.
Lou Pearlman became a super-producer during the early part of the 21st Century, curating boy bands and girl groups, but it was *Nsync and Backstreet Boys that blew up and served as a foundation of this distinct pop era.
