They made great pop music. You don't sell that many records just on some girl power gimmick. People loved their music. Maybe you didnt but millions of others did.

And its very different to Bieber because they appeal to girls for very different reasons. Plus his songs havent made the same memorable impact.

I think you do tbh, teenage girls are an easy target. I'm not really a pop fan as such but compared to other pop singers/groups their music was pure tripe.

because he's still around, it's only a memory after they're gone.

Well just because you say its "pure tripe" doesn't make it such. Thats your subjective opinion. As a pop fan I still love their music and I certainly didnt care about the girl power craze! And if you think only young girls bought their music then you're very very mistaken.

Just accept that many people did(and still do) actually love their music in its own right. Its very patronising and ignorant to suggest otherwise. Im sure I could find some of your musical tastes to be "pure tripe" too.

How's your bunions btw?

lmao, I don't mean to be patronizing Zippy but all of what I said is just my opinion, if you don't agree with me, that's you prerogative but It doesn't change my opinion on them. I was a teenage girl when they were popular and the the only people I knew who liked them were other teenage girls so that's where I get my reasoning behind it.

I'm sure you would think alot of what I like is tripe but you would of course be completely wrong

I hope that last question wasn't a sly dig at my age Mr.

It's fair to say that the vast majority of their initial audience didn't get aboard the wagon after some revelation about the sound of the Spice Girls.

Notice I didn't say everyone. I said the vast majority.
