NKOTB girls- help me out

I am trying to figure out why I was never into Joey, Donnie and crew.

How old are all of you who are head over heels for them?

I think I may have missed this by a couple of years. I even had a friend in HS from Dorchestah (Dorcester) who knew some of them, and I never leveraged that into a meeting with them at all. Weird huh?

Re: NKOTB girls- help me out

  • I remember being all about them in 4th grade and fizzled out with them by the end of 5th grade.  In 4th grade I was 9

  • I was in 6th grade.  I was 11.  Then in 7th grade it wasn't cool to like them anymore!
  • Sorry, ladies, I should have been more clear--- how old are you now?

  • 27 and I felt myself swooning when I saw them on the today show. 

    My love runs deep.

  • I'm 31.  I was in 6th grade when it started.  I have friendships that were formed solely b/c of mutual interest in NKOTB.

  • 27. I think I was prime NKOTB age.
  • 32.  Liked them for the first album but was kind of embarrassed about it.  By the second, forget it.  Don't you mean Dahchestah?  ;)
  • KAG I think the entire purpose of this post is to say you "could have met them through your friend" but didn't b/c you're so much cooler than that.

    Go blow.

    I heart NKOTB 4eva b1tches!

  • Carrie- I tried on the Dahchestah....my husband is from Hingham, he usually helps me with my phonetic Masshole town spellings, but he was napping when I wrote that :-)
  • Nope, you're wrong...the purpose of this post is to figure out if my love of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany blinded me from loving the only true boy band to ever really matter :-)

    Now if my friend had known Rick Astley...look out, I would have been sleeping on his doorstep trying to meet him, lol.

  • I dont get the appeal either....I think I was to old
  • Kag -

    I soooo loved them all.  I had NKOTB sheets, pillows, dolls, etc.  I'm 28 :) (And I was totally into Debbie Gibson and Tiffany too!)

  • I am 28 and I big fluffy heart the NKOTB..... I think I have watched my DVR of the today's show like a million times...ok like 3....
    I had the pillowcase, the button's, t-shirts.... they were like my first concert ever!!!!!!

    I was a Tiffany -  Marky Mark and the funky bunch fan.....

    I request a knottie G2G if they come to CT
  • I'm 33, and I liked them but wasn't totally obsessed. 

  • I'm 27 and was crazy about them around 4th grade.
  • 27 and wasnt into them. I was kinda dorky at the time though (just sayin, not much has changed!)and still playing house with my lil sisters though ;)

     

    Plus i jsut never got into music groups that much anyhow. Even now, not an idol fan,.

  • I'm 28, my best friend in grade school loved them.  My sister who is 32 loved them too.  I just didn't get it, I didn't care for them.
  • I'm 31 now and freaking loved them.  I got a little teary when I saw them on the Today Show, just like I was 13-14 again!
  • I'm 32 and I admit, I was on the older side during the craze. I got into them because of my younger sister (who is 27 now). We were INSANE. I have friends who were totally not into them and, like Mona, I also have friends that our only BOND was NKOTB.
