You can dance in your underwear or completely nude, surrounded by women, and you're surrounded by women. It also only applied to boy bands, who were clearly fucking the manager of nothing else. And yes, even the girls thought this way, in our prepuberty mindset.)<br /><br />The creepiest band was Green Day. I couldn't put my finger on it, but something always seemed wrong about them. Fast forward to the Bush era and their target audience is still 12-yeat-old girls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-37324663236271661472020-09-04T20:00:23.685-04:002020-09-04T20:00:23.685-04:00I have not picked up a teen mag in ages but I imag...I have not picked up a teen mag in ages but I imagine that these days they have to be more gay friendlyJP Aragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664852451815214352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-41355266250027543232020-09-04T10:32:23.055-04:002020-09-04T10:32:23.055-04:00Teen mag editors in the 1960s were probably aware ...Teen mag editors in the 1960s were probably aware of the existence of gay people, but I doubt they were aware of a male readership. At least they pretended that there wasn't any. Articles were all written to a female audience. Articles about boy bands today still pretend -- or believe -- that 100% of the fans are teenage girls.NYSocBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658785942817017972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-58843252909570437212020-09-04T09:24:06.181-04:002020-09-04T09:24:06.181-04:00The album cover does have a gay vague vibe I can s...The album cover does have a gay vague vibe I can see why you wanted to buy the record. I saw these on re-runs will have to watch them again- but teen idols of that era were ambiguously sexual- I imagine the teen magazines realized that gay boys were buying them tooJP Aragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664852451815214352noreply@blogger.com
