NSYNC – NSYNC (1997)
Oh, the ’90s. It was such a good time for music, now regrettable hairdos and of course, boy bands. I remember going to the music store and my cousin allowing me to pick one thing to buy. I took that buying power very seriously back then, I had to make my purchase count. So what did I pick? None other than NSYNC’s self titled album with the hit “Tearing Up My Heart.” I remember putting the CD in my stereo once I got home and my family and I having a mini dance party. Also, this was one of the rare memories I had with my uncle before his passing. So though it’s bittersweet, I’m happy to have gotten to share a great time in pop music with him and the rest of my family. It was definitely a simpler time back then, when technology didn’t play such a big role in our lives. Instead, you could just blast some music and dance like a dork with your family. Crazy to think that the album was released back in 1997 and I was only six at the time. My fangirling, boy band-loving heart still lives on to this day.
