And honestly, those that genuinely like their banal crap aside, I really have to assume that anyone defending the Spice Girls is basically suffering from a severe case of 90's nostalgia, because shit they were fucking awful.

Horrible pop shit from (x) years ago is always 'better' than horrible pop shit from today because you don't hear it as often. It's easy to 'remember' the Spice Girls as bearable because honestly, who's actually listened to the Spice Girls in the last 8 years?

I work next door to a dance academy where little girls dance to sections of Spice Girls, S-Club 7 and Steps songs over and over again. I honest to god some days cannot get the words to "Boot scootin' baby" out of my head.

It's actually remarkable how successful they were. The marketing involved was genuinely superb. Usually with these pop groups they hire some decent songwriters and eventually they manage to release at least one single that most people can grudgingly accept is pretty good. Britney had a couple. Destiny's Child had quite a few. Even I'll admit that Justin Timberlake had a tune or two. It never happened with the Spice Girls. Furthermore, they looked sort of like a Bulldog chewing on a Bee. Thus, whoever was behind the group managed to shift millions of copies of something with no redeeming characteristics. That's truly incredible. Genuinely, astoundingly brilliant marketing.
