A '''boy band''' ([[American English]]) or '''boyband''' ([[British English]]) is a style of somewhat to mostly [[prefabricated]] [[pop group]] featuring about between three and six young male [[singer]]/[[dancer]]s, but normally five.  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. They are similar in concept to [[Girl group]]s. Though the term is mostly associated with the late 90s, 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.

Equally important to the group's commercial success is the group's image, carefully controlled by managing all aspects of the group's dress, promotional materials (which are supplied to [[teen magazine]]s), and [[Music video|video clip]]s, the most famous boy band manager being [[Lou Pearlman]]. Typically, each member of the group will have some distinguishing feature and be portrayed as having a particular personality stereotype - such as "the baby", "the bad boy", "the nice boy" - whilst managing the portrayal of popular musicians is as old as popular music, the particular pigeonholing of boy band members is a defining characteristic of boy and girl bands. 

In most cases, their music is written, arranged, and produced by a producer who works with the band at all times and controls the group's sound - if necessary, to the point of hiring [[session singers]] to record [[guide vocal]]s for each member of the group to sing individually (if the members can not harmonize together well). A typical boy band performance features elaborately [[choreography|choreographed]] dancing, with the members taking turns singing (or, sometimes, [[lip-sync]]ing, though Pearlman insists none of his bands do) to pre-recorded music. More often than not, boy bands are disallowed from composing or producing their own material, unless the members lobby hard enough for creative control (e.g. The Monkees and [[NSYNC|*NSYNC]]).

Though some fans consider the music to be in some cases brilliant, the commercial success of specific boy bands does not tend to last long. As the fans (mostly preteen girls) of boy bands age, their musical tastes evolve and they seek something different.  If success is sustained, often one or more members of the band will leave and seek a solo career (particularly if they have some songwriting ability), though few manage sustained solo success. (Exceptions: [[Michael Nesmith]],  [[Michael Jackson]], [[Robbie Williams]], [[Justin Timberlake]].)
