Older users: Did people hate NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys back then as much as...?

[Todesangst]

...people hate One Direction and Justin Bieber today? Or, were they more accepted?
Asking a 9 year old about them, and a young adult about them will yield different results. lol.

I like all

I loved Backstreet Boys and still do! I don't even think they were hated.

i`m still hating on the Osmonds

Not hate; they just felt contempt - it was usually a girly choice.
Justin Bieber gets a lot of hate though - and it is unparalleled...

No, I didn't hate them. I actually bought their CD's when I was 9 or 10 lol They were more tolerable and made catchy pop songs. I still like the Backstreet Boys & Justin Timberlake, he's supposed to be making a comeback this year in fact. As for JB & One Direction, I'm neural - Don't hate them or love them.

A bit after my time .... just a couple of years, honest ..... but they were quite popular.
