Ok, this page is based on a conversation Heather from Giddy and I had awhile back. We were talking, and Heather mentioned how the stereotypes were getting a little old. I mean, we have shoved and pushed these five semi normal guys into these crackerjack box stereotypes of what we perceive them to be. Nevermind that Transcon does a pretty good job of molding them to fit those types as well. So anyhow, I was talking to another friend of mine, Kat..and she brought up the day that I mentioned it to her. I had almost forgotten about it, and after some prodding...I decided to make it into a page. So on with the stereotypes:
Ok, we first have the wonder known as Justin. People have shaped him into a ghetto dawg, wanna be stripper from Tennessee. He is known as a cocky mama's boy, and is the 'favorite' of screaming teenies. According to many fans, he is a charismatic figure onstage, but is cold and rude to fans offstage.
Next we have JC...who is made out to be a perfect little choir boy, his WWJD bracelet collection growing by the minute. He is also known to have a slightly 'shady' alter ego that uses his exceedingly veiny arms to shoot up. Sometimes he is just the boring, sleepy one with bad dental hygiene.
Joey Fatone is supposedly the dirty pimpin' slutbag whore of the group. He is a dirty Italian, a slew of hookers in every city, with as many STDs as he has sexual partners. He is the one that is eternally happy, and as dimwitted as they come.
Then we have the old one...Chris. He is the 'crazy' one of the five, ya know...how ever you want to define hitting people with golf balls and spinning records. He is also made fun of as the OLDEST member of N Sync...possibly having arthritis, thus explaining his terrible dancing.
Lance Bass is the ever good, down home..country boy from Mississippi. He can't dance, and is about as innocent as they come. He loves horses, and as we have also seen by his dating tastes...is fond of trolls.
Now I don't want to preach or anything, especially since this page is all about stereotypes. I mean, who would we make fun of if we didn't consider Joey a pimp? But, who are we to determine what they are? Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be MORE funny to just go the complete opposite of what we have made them out to be. Some examples:
Maybe Joey is really a brilliant man who runs a church camp in his spare time? Perhaps he is full of good works that we have never heard about, and he hides it with his pimp daddy image. (Ok, maybe not..but we can dream!)
Have you ever considered that underneath that down home country boy image, Lance could really be a Harley ridin', tattooed bad boy?
Maybe Justin speaks utterly perfect English, and despises his mother?
Perhaps JC isn't as anal retentive as everyone makes him out to be. Instead, he removed the stick that was up his ass for 22 years, and rammed it up Chris' to slow the 'crazy' one down.
Have you ever considered that maybe Chris is really a quiet, reserved 27 year old who just happens to be in a boyband? He is normal, and the only reason he has a weave is to stand out as unusual against the rest of the younger, better looking boys.
