Pop groups are not as popular as they used to be. The peak of pop groups was in the 90's/early 00's

Glenn. 19-04-2010 08:20 PM

They died with the nineties euro/pop trash.
My sister used to love Steps lol

Alphabeat are. Scissor Sisters are.

Lewis. 19-04-2010 09:28 PM

I think he means like... Cheesy pop bands... Alphabeat are cheesy but I wouldn't consider them as being as cheesy as sclub etc... I agree though... They were very popular back then... I think the public have just gotten into a different kind of pop music

Mrluvaluva 19-04-2010 09:46 PM

Mary mungo and midge? Midge died actually. It was a selfless Ure.

No they aren't. Not in the vein he is talking about. Under your logic anything popular is pop. He is reffering to pure pop pop. As in the genre of pop. That cheesy, manufactured, noughties bastion of noise.

Anyway, unisex pop groups went the way of the dodo in favour of 'serious' pop acts and Reality TV dream sequences.

andybigbro 19-04-2010 10:01 PM

To be fair Scissor Sisters are pretty cheesy as are Alphabeat.

Beastie 19-04-2010 10:05 PM

Ey Conor. I know what you mean. I hope in the next X Factor they put a unisex group into the live finals! They have never done that before.. well okay with Same Difference and that 2 to go was it? but yeah bring back the unisex cheesy pop groups!

True enough but they make their music, I guess that's the difference.

I can't actually think of a completely manufactured unisex pop group. Same Difference?
