I'm not talking about the process of becoming known. I'm talking about how easy it is for them to do well once they're already known. Boy bands just naturally attract massive fanbases of young girls that will unconditionally support every single thing they release, regardless of quality or effort.
This point isn't just limited to iTunes sales - boy bands get better results with less effort put in (again, this is once they'e already become known in the music industry). For example, One Direction's concerts consist of the five of them singing (some of them with less than perfect voices, to put it nicely) as they just stand on stage or run around and good off. Yet they get constant praise and sold out arenas. Compare that to most pop girls, and especially girl groups like Fifth Harmony and Little Mix, who need intense choreography lest they be called boring, but then once their choreography gets
too interesting, then they start being called sl
uts, wh
ores, etc. There's a very clear double standard.
Live up to your song title Fight Song!
Gonna crossover for sure
