I considered myself better than those who listened to the backstreet boys in middle school, so will someone please explain
The chorus of their most popular song has the phrase "Tell me why" several times.
"Tell me why, aint nothing but a heartache.
Tell me why, aint nothing but a mistake.
Tell me why, I never wanna hear you sayyyyyy, 'I want it that way'".
Edit: Grammar
It would be a great service to the world if someone could explain these lyrics
A mafia adjacent blimp company built a boy band designed to exploit thirsty teenage girls with money obtained from both insurance fraud and a ponzi scheme. The lyrics are appropriately unhinged I feel.
This is terrible, thank you
