girl bands
All-women musical acts
A girl band is a pop music group composed entirely of young women, typically featuring choreographed dance routines and harmonized vocals.
The term emerged in the 1990s with acts like the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child: Every girl band needs a bad girl and a sweet one.
Unlike bands where members play instruments, girl bands emphasize singing and performance.
The parallel term for male groups is boy band.
