Boybands are generally created by a record company for the sole purpose of selling records to children. The band members don't start the band themselves. They're hired by the label to sing and/or play songs that are written for them by someone else affiliated with the label.
And the guys themselves may not have even known each other before they were thrust into the spotlight together. Real bands, on the other hand, are formed organically & write their own music. They generally consist of a group of friends who grew up together, or, at least, a group of guys who knew each other before they got famous.
Whether or not they're pretty boys who all the girls chase around doesn't matter. That's not what makes them a boyband. People often confuse that, however, especially when they call the Beatles a boyband.
The Beatles started their band themselves & wrote their own music. That's a band. Not a boyband.
Same goes for Arctic Monkeys. New Kids on the Block were a boyband, and it wouldn't have mattered if they'd played instruments or not. They were a manufactured gimmick designed to sell records.
Boy bands are mostly known for the boys and hardly for the music. Bands are known for the music and not for the singer's,of course you could still know about the singer's but the fans of bands care about the music AND the singer's or just the music. Meanwhile, boy band fans only care about the singer's and not the music.
Like Imagine Dragons that's a band EVEN though all of its members are guys. One direction is considered a Boy Band because you're more likely to recognise the singer's instead of their music.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
