Fans hate to dwell too much on that day when one day their group won't be as popular or as on top as they are now. But sometimes--just sometimes a fan is faced with having to do so.
Guess that Christy and I have been struck by this lately. You know? Basically, Christy wrote this upon reading this from Chenney of 'dPF:
I have been seriously lacking in the creativity department, and I have no fun coming up with humor anymore. I've been rather detached from the boyband realm for quite a while now.
So, you know... it's like, the fans are losing interst and stuff... bah, I can't explain it. Chris does a better job of doin' it.

I have come to realize I'm suddenly very saddened. This school year kinda bugs me a lot... I knew it was gonna be a change in my life... and now it's changing the very things I love. I've found that a lot of the good websites are beginning to stop... cease to exist. One by one... they're disappearing. Most of the mistresses that run them are going to college and are becoming distanced fans. And if they're already in college, they haven't got the time anymore. This really reminds me of my family. A while back... everyone was cool with everyone. We'd get together and party all the time. We was a wacky bunch of people... and now everyone's getting older and they've kind of disbanded. People are either going downhill or just getting a life that's too busy for anything else. And now... the fans of our guys. It makes me wonder how much longer they'll decide to stay around. As far as NSYNC goes... I have a pretty good feeling that they'll stick around, but I can't help but be a lil scared. I know I'll love however they decide to evolve and change but for some reason I'm saddened to know that harmony groups won't, or by the chances of the planet, CAN'T last THAT much longer. Even Chris thinks so. It makes good sense, but like I said... I feel a lil sad(cause I've always loved harmony groups):
"The New York Daily News reports *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick predicting a dire future for 'boy bands.' "I see the vocal groups going away. They've been hot a little too long," he says. "I see real bands that really play instruments being the hot new thing. I'm not saying that *NSYNC is washed up. We actually do know how to play instruments." Chris says the new album out in June will include the guys using intruments."
And ya know this is actually really great... but ya can't help but feel a little depressed huh? What the HELL am I gonna do when all my favorite people leave the music biz? Or at least they aren't as visable as they would've been whenever. I guess time and faith will tell eh? I dunno why i got to thinking about this... just reading stuff on the websites I guess. Because the thing that happened with my family... I get the feeling that it's happening with the guys too. I don't blame them at all for the things they do out of the group. More power to it, they need lives too, but ya know... ya can't help but wonder... what WILL happen if Joey becomes a dad, he ought ta spend time with the kid ya know? That's what MY dad did. He quit being in bands because I didn't understand why he wasn't ever around as a lil kid. And he caught up on sleep he missed on weekends, so I never really got to be with him a lot. So what I'm saying is that what if he ends up quitting? And the Chyna thing is still going... geez, I dunno WHAT the hell to think of this one. I wanna think he was telling the truth on Larry King, but just in case he's not and he wants to or is dating Chyna... wow. That just wierd... especially if that goes WITH him being a dad... does he now have no relationship with the mother? OY I hate gossip....it just confuses the hell outta me. Well, you ranted, now I have :) I could say a ton more but I'd better stop. LOL. Sorry for the depression.
It's okay, Chris. I understand where you're comin' from.
