We Need To Talk About The Backstreet Boys

Let's talk about this.

If you have ever heard of the '90s, you've also heard of the Backstreet Boys. They were, and are, the best boy band ever.

EVER.

But it's been 16 YEARS since Black & Blue came out. They can't possibly still be smokin'-hot hotties, right?

WRONG. BEHOLD:

It's true. Somehow, every single Boy has managed to escape the ravages of time.

Look at them all.

But let's give them some individual props. Look at Alexander James "A.J." McLean, everyone's favorite bad boy:

A.J., like a fine bottle of wine in an eccentric hat, has only improved with age.

Time has not withered any of his sexy tats or piercings.

And nothing, NOTHING, beats this man in a plaid shirt.

He even poses with fans! So nice.

Now let's move on to sweet Brian Thomas Littrell, and his blue eyes:

Brian's 2016 blue eyes are EVEN BLUER than his 2001 blue eyes. HOW?!

He is so beautiful, they drive him around on those little golf cart things at the airport.

He's so hot, he can get away with headphone accessorizing.

He grills hot dogs shirtless.

And he still appreciates relics from the '90s. What a joy.

But what about Howard Dwaine "Howie D." Dorough? He surely couldn't have aged as well, right? WRONG:

Like, 2016 Howie looks REALLY similar to 2000 Howie.

Howie still looks...pretty much exactly the same.

More like HOTie, amiright?

Then there's Kevin Scott Richardson, tall drink of water and singer of the most important verse in "I Want It That Way":

Back in 2001, Kevin had some serious locks going on:

And very recently, he brought them back!

These days, Kevin seems to enjoy Christmas...

...and lions.

D'awwww.

And, of course, we have to talk about Nickolas Gene "Nick" Carter.

Nick's 2001 hair is VERY different from 2016 hair, and so are his shirt choices:

But Nick is still very bangarang.

Sexy Sgt. Pepper.

Sexy cowboy.

Here he is with his second painting ever. It's called "Bearing Mothers Pain" and a portion of the proceeds went to children's cancer research.

But more importantly than what a smokeshow the Boys still are, the most important thing is that THEY STILL HAVE THE MOVES.

🎶 BACKSTREET'S BACK. 🎶

(Well, they never really left.)

🎶 ALL RIGHT!!! 🎶
