Besides, New Kids are a full generation of garbage pop removed from the Spice Girls.

I would much rather hear cheesy 90's girl bands than listen to some of the crap on the radio today. Let's face it, the spice girls are miles better than folks like Lily Allen.

Anyway look on the bright side - At least they're not Steps.

Let's bring back the 80s, because back then mainstream bands fucking SHREDDED it up and rocked out. Like Whitesnake, and Motley Crue. They were so awesome. They could play instruments and stuff.

Shut up, that isn't even funny.

You have summoned them

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. I don't feel comfortable saying they were worse than the modern equivalent, but I sure as hell cannot claim that they are in any way better.

At least we know that Lily Allen is a foul mouthed little whore, that shit sells records nowadays.

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 agree. They are a triviality except for one thing which sort of intrigues me.

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.

GRRL POWER!!
