A boy band is a type of
pop group featuring three or more young male
singers. It is disputed whether or not music groups that have more than five members should be considered boy bands, such as
Super Junior who has 13 members. The members are generally expected to perform as
dancers as well, often executing highly choreographed sequences to their own music. Although there are no distinct traits of boy bands, one could label a band a "boy band" for following mainstream music trends, changing their appearances to adapt to new fashion trends, having elaborate dancers, and performing elaborate shows. They can evolve out of church choral or
Gospel music groups, but are often put together by managers or producers who audition the groups for appearance, dancing, rapping skills, and singing ability, and often seem to be
prefabricated. But one thing that they all seem to have in common is that they have three to six members, with singing and dancing in their repertoire.

A boy is a young
male human (usually
child or
adolescent), as contrasted to its
female counterpart, which is called a
girl; thus in the wide sense of both terms all mankind, and in the strictest sense youth, can be seen as the complementary pair 'boys and girls'. The term "boy" is primarily used to indicate biological
sex distinctions, cultural
gender role distinctions or both. The latter most commonly applies to adult men, either considered in some way immature or inferior, in a position associated with aspects of boyhood, or even without such boyish connotation as age-indiscriminate synonym. The term can be joined with a variety of other words to form these gender-related labels as compound words.
