Long hair and the dominant (fe)male

Hmm.

Living in an asian country where we are repeatedly exposed to large dosages of taiwanese boybands, it's no surprise that the only reason the ladies like their songs is because of the group's image: long 'silky' hair, extremely good looks, and of course the ability to dance by themselves.

I do not like to use the term 'boyband'. The reason is simply because they do not play their own instruments, and all they can do is 'sing', dance and look pretty. My idea of a group that can call themselves a band is: at least two people who play musical instruments, percussion groups is also acceptable. So why are these boy'bands' getting such huge response?

The majority of female brains is somehow tuned into dudes who look handsome, or even dangerous. It is this tunings of the majority of female brains such that the normal, nice guy can never get a proper date, and instead wallowing in self-pity (sad huh?).

Apparently, the advent of boybands has led into a major fashion trend in the hairstyles of today's asian male. Everywhere you turn, you can always see at least one guy with long, dyed hair and a tinge of make-up. This has also led to the increase sales in hair-styling products off the supermarket shelves. Apparently, like today's asian female, most dudes vaguely similar to each other.

I personally find the idea of a boyband ludicruous since they're all manufactured, and the only reason they can hold together is because they know that it sells well. when they start to grow into their 30s, they tend to be thrown aside and replaced by a younger, more energised group (also seen in the situation of the backstreet boys).

Anyhow, We all know these groups come and go, while the timeless appeal of real bands is stil here to stay. I'll just go home and review my "Stairway" solo then....
