WHERE DID THE POP BOYS GO?

Usher. Backstreet Boys. *NSYNC. Justin Timberlake. Once upon a time, male pop stars ruled the charts — choreo, charisma, and chaos included. But in 2025, where did that magic go? Are we in a new era where men don’t want to be pop stars anymore? Or did the culture shift around them? In this episode of Life and Times with Quinton, I dive into the evolution (and maybe disappearance) of the male pop star — from the Y2K icons we grew up with to today’s genre-blurring artists.
