boy band
Choreographed male vocalists
A boy band is a pop music group of young male singers, typically assembled by producers rather than formed organically.
The members usually don't play instruments, focusing instead on choreographed dancing and vocal harmonies.
Boy bands target teenage audiences, especially girls: My daughter is obsessed with that new boy band.
The term often carries a slightly dismissive connotation, suggesting manufactured appeal over artistic credibility.
