The 5 Kinds Of Boy Band Members–Who’s Your Type?

boy bands archetypes one direction

Which one are YOU into? | Source: WENN.com

If you’ve ever liked a boy band (and if you say you haven’t, I bet you’re lying), you know that almost every boy band is made up of five members with very distinct personalities–kind of like the Spice Girls, except with dudes. The idea is that there’s something there (i.e. a type of guy) for everybody! Don’t believe me? Well, let’s take a closer look at the science of boy bands:

There’s the bad boy
Don’t tell me you don’t like bad boys, because you so do. He’s the one with maybe just a hint of facial hair. The one who doesn’t smile that often in photos. He seems dangerous (even though he still does silly dance moves and sings about his crushes) and sometimes even looks like he could steal a car–or your heart–like it was no big deal. Think JC Chasez from NSYNC or Donnie Wahlberg from NKOTB. Think Zayn Malik from One Direction.

There’s the innocent one
He’s got the cutest baby face and as much as you know he’s traveled the world and experienced way more than you in life, you just can’t help wanting to take care of him. He’s often–but not always–the youngest, and it’s easy to imagine doing silly stuff with him like riding bumper cars or having the ultimate pillow fight. He’d never, ever break your heart, and could possibly get beaten up by a squirrel. Think Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys (I swear he used to be innocent before he got skeezy!) or Justin Timberlake from NSYNC. Think Niall Horan from One Direction.

There’s the class clown
This guy isn’t necessarily the best looking of the bunch, but don’t tell their fans that! These are the guys who are constantly cracking jokes, wearing funny outfits in videos. They’re the ones that you wish were in your super boring fourth period bio class just to liven things up. He’s not always the most obvious choice, but a sense of humor is definitely sexy! Think Danny Wood from NKOTB or Joey Fatone from NSYNC. Think Louis Tomlinson from One Direction.

There’s the strong, silent type
He’s not super showy or outrageous, in fact, he likes to let his band members take the lead–but there’s something so intense about him that we can’t stop wondering what’s going on behind those super gorgeous eyes. He’s just mysterious enough to keep you guessing (and to keep all of his posters on your wall). Think Lass Bass from NSYNC or Jonathan Knight from NKOTB. Think Liam Payne from One Direction.

There’s the hotter-than-hellfire one
Yes, yes. All members of boy bands are by definition hot in one way or another, but everyone knows there’s one guy from every group who’s just flat-out beautiful to look at. He spends more time on his hair than you do and probably has a reputation for being quite, um, the ladies man. He’s sexy and he knows it. Think Jordan Knight From NKOTB or Brian Littrell from Backstreet Boys. Think Harry Styles from One Direction.

Now, here’s the fun part–we want to know who YOUR favorite boy band member is (and a little about you, too!). Copy and paste the questions below into the comments and then tell us all about your boy band crush and you! Who knows? You could be a match made in heaven.

    1. My favorite boy band is: One Direction <3

    2. My favorite member of that boy band is: Niall James Horan <3

    3. Are you the craziest one of your friends or are you more serious? I would say I'm both haha, I can seriously fangirl out and loose it when I want, but when something they do really touches my heart then I take it with all I have haha <3

    4. Are people more likely to ask you for advice or to borrow your awesome clothes? I would say I give the best advice around out of anyone else I know. My friends always come up to me personally or text me for my advice on important problems <3

    5. Would you rather go ice skating on a date or try snow boarding? I am always up for adventures so I'd have to say snow boarding! I've never done it before and looks tons of fun <3

    6. Do you love reading or would you rather wait for the movie to come out? It really depends if I know I'll like it or not. I read all of the Twilight Saga and loved it and have seen all of the films. But things like Harry Potter which I have never read or seen any of the films nor The Hunger Games books and first film. Call me weird or whatever but I just dont care for them <3

    1. My favorite boy band is: One direction

    2. My favorite member of that boy band is: Harry Styles

    3. Are you the craziest one of all your friends or are you more serious? Craziest. Definitely.

    4. Are people more likely to ask you for advice or to borrow your awesome clothes? Probably both. I’m good with both.

    5. Would you rather go ice skating on a date or try snow boarding? Totally snowboarding. If my boyfriend knew how to do it, I’d want him to teach me. I’m too klutzy to ice skate.

    6. Do you love reading or would you generally rather wait for the movie to come out? I love reading practically more than anything! Besides, the books are always better than the movies. Although with Twilight, I cheated. I saw all the movies but only read the first book. So I guess it depends.
