Is 5sos a boy band

Answer 1

No, 5sos is not a boy band. They formed themselves, write their own music, play their own music, don't use auto tune and all that other stuff that boy bands do.

A boy band is a group of male performers that generally sing and dance to large crowds, rather than play instruments.

Bands play their own music, write their own songs, usually don't dance for their shows, and most of the time, don't use auto tune. In this case, i'm referring to bands like Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Blink 182, and 5 Seconds of Summer.

But boy bands are usually formed by someone else, do choreography for shows, do not play their own instruments, use auto tune a lot of the time, and they don't write their own music. They may write SOME songs but in most cases, they don't. And here i'm referring to bands like the Jonas brothers, One Direction, and The Vamps.

It doesn't matter whether they are a band full of boys. They are a band, not a boy band. One Direction is a boy band, not 5sos.

One Direction are boys but are the age of men now. But they're not called a man band.
