I mean... They're a band, they're all boys... Why isn't Beastie Boys a "boy band?" πŸ€”

So are Metallica, AC/DC and Van Halen.

"Metallica are a boy band." was not a take I expected to find today, but I think I know exactly the right people to annoy with this.

Red Hot Chili Peppers is my favorite boy band.

what do you think the asterisk stands for??

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

I think it stands for "hyphen."

It's for the legal disclaimer they put on their album covers.

*NSYNC
