1. New kids on the blocks
You can say what you want about NKOTB, but they were fucking pioneers. Exactly like you! You were one of the first to love a boy band cast together. What does that say about you? That you clearly have a nose for trends and are not too tense. Then the boys were just a marketing experiment. So what? They were at least one that gave you goose bumps all over your body. And Joey, oh Joey … the good Joey … SCHMACHT!
2. GZSZ, Forbidden Love and Among Us
Dear actors, who are ashamed of the beginning of your career in VL, Marienhof, Unter Uns and Co: Don't! You have enriched the lives of so many people. Which people exactly? From those who love the drama. Of those who like to dream. And by those who love themselves with all their corners and edges because they know that corners and edges make people interesting. YES!
3. Backstreet Boys or * NSYNC
Everyboooooodyyyy, yeaaahhh … and so weeeeiiiiteeeer, yeeeeaaaah! If you have not at least secretly celebrated the Backstreet Boys or * NSync for their catchy tunes, you really can't help it. BackstreetBoy and * NSync fans really can't be shoved together. There are already worlds between Nick fans and Brian fans. At least one universe between Kevin fans and Justin fans. What connects you all? You are female. We really can't say more.
4. Take That
Congratulations, you discovered Robbie Williams before the world understood how cool the guy is! In return, he now saves the image of your teenage self. No boy band can be declared as a past passion with a clear conscience like Take That. Afterwards Robbie makes Take That socially acceptable. What does it say about you that you were a fan of the first hour? You are a very romantic person and not only believe in true love, but also in real bromance! That makes you a very optimistic contemporary! CHECK!
5. The Beatles or Elvis
If you were into the Beatles or Elvis back in the 60s or 70s, then you're one of those really cool socks! Logo that you took to the streets for everything that today's youth benefit from! You are a rebel girl from the very beginning, a trendsetter who shows the way to the trendsetters. High shalt thou live! You should live long! Or as long as your idols! … and please excuse us for lumping Elvis and the Beatles together. That is not really appropriate! You're right!
6. Gilmore Girls
Rory and Lorelei have won your heart? Then first of all congratulations on many hours of excellent quality of life, because watching Gilmore Girls can only be happy. It is no coincidence that you like the two lively girls. Gilmore Girl fans are great idealists. You dream of a world like Stars Hollow, understand the craziest people (even Taylor) and make the world more colorful, fun and real! How nice that you exist!
7. Kelly Family
Kelly fans have always needed thick fur. No, it was not always easy to be an elected member of the well-known family. And even if at least Joey, Paddy and Maite have crawled very far towards cool on the uncool scale, coming out as an ex-Kelly fan still feels something like a statement à la "I would have chosen Trump". The really good news for old, new and always-Kelly fans is: you are the most loyal people in the world. If you love, then without compromise. You stand by your people! And yes, you can be proud of it!
8. Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson – the epitome of artistic eccentricity, the personified extravagance, wrapped in wafer-thin fragility. This man made an impression, especially on you. Why? Mediocrity is not your thing, you are magically attracted to the special. And you are definitely not 08-15. It's a good thing, because it's the slightly different people who change the world. Like Michael. Oh man, we all miss him.
9. REAL
Anyone who thinks that Tokio Hotel was created out of nowhere has really forgotten. The school band from Flensburg defied all the bands that were cast together from the 90s with genuine handmade music and made good German lyrics in the charts acceptable again. Former ECHT fans are now down-to-earth adults with a clear mind and a head that they like to use to think. After all, 20 years ago they were not afraid to deal with socially critical and profound texts. If you miss REAL, you can do something about it. Florian Sump, the drummer at that time, can still be seen live on stage. We recently interviewed him (jahaaa, just be jealous, it was great!). Here is the interview.
10. Nirvana
You are enviable! If we (the rest of the world) had already guessed at the time how incredibly well the phrase "I was a Nirvana fan" was well received, we would have immediately joined the fan base solely for image reasons. But not everyone has as good a feel for music and lifestyle as you do. Yes, man, you earned the gold medal of all fangirls, you were a fucking Nirvana fan. And even if Kurt Cobain was perhaps not the best role model in some things, he was as much himself as possible. And that's why there are no inauthentic Nirvana fans. You learned from the master and every player who claims that he was a Nirvana fan is lying. Nirvana fans are not players. Nirvana fans are all themselves! And for image reasons, they certainly don't do anything.
