Yeah same. I don't hate them, I just don't get it, looking back. I think when you're a kid you sort of buy into whatever you're told is cool and you just enjoy loud noises and bright colours and whatever else popstars have going on for them... but they were seriously dreadful for the most part. Their songs are so of their time and to me, it just seems like they got incredibly lucky rather than breaking through because they were talented. They rode the wave and Geri Halliwell at least knew when her time was up, the rest of them learned that lesson a year later. The fact they've remained so omnipresent in pop culture baffles me though. If it weren't for that bizarre fascination with them (tbh it's probably largely down to Posh and Becks) they'd have been involved in this Big Reunion stuff, I guarantee it.
