A boy band ( American English) or boyband ( British English) is a style of pop group featuring between three and six young male singers who are usually also dancers. They also sing R&B songs as well and sometimes hip-hop. Often, they evolve out of church choral groups, or are put together by managers or producers who audition the groups for appearance, dancing, and singing ability, and often seen to be prefabricated. They are similar in concept to Girl groups. Though the term is mostly associated with the 1980s onwards, antecedents exist throughout the history of pop music. The Temptations, popular in the 1960s, may be considered a boy band, while The Monkees certainly were prefabricated, and Latin boy band Menudo was founded in 1977. Boy bands often achieve great commercial success. ...more on Wikipedia about "Boy band" Pure shortopedia. Pure Information Power. shortopedia

Devo 2.0 (also known as Dev2.0) is a quintet of child actors created by Walt Disney Records who sing, dance, and (in their music videos and photo shoots) pretend to play instruments along to re-recordings of Devo songs, performed by Devo's five original members. The lyrics to the songs they perform are also heavily edited, to make them more " family friendly" and remove all of the innuendo typical of Devo songs. (In "Through Being Cool", for instance, the line "eliminate the ninnies and the twits" is changed to "eliminate the time you waste in cliques", and the innuendo-filled "Girl U Want" is completely re-written and sanitized as "Boy U Want". The song "Beautiful World" remains mostly unchanged until the end, where the line "it's a beautiful world ... for you, but not for me" becomes "for you, and for me too".) ...more on Wikipedia about "Devo 2.0"
