| Then | Now |
| Get super excited when 'Nick' was IMing you and you actually believed it was him. | Get super excited when BSB tweets you (even though we all know its Jen tweeting) |
| Had to ask parents permission to go to a concert. | Have to ask boss' permission to go to a concert. |
| Thrilled if you just get a ticket to the BSB concert. | Only thrilled if you are in the first 10 rows. |
| Camp out for BSB tickets while simultaneously having every member of your extended family try via phone to get through to ticketmaster. | Sit in front of laptop, ipad, phone, and refresh backstreetboys.com like your life depended on it. |
| After concert immediately had to go drop off your camera film and wait a few days to get back your pictures | Upload pictures in real time with your phone. |
| Lucky to have 5% of your pictures turn out decently. It was considered a good picture if you could make out which backstreet boy is which. | Now its considered a bad picture if Nick isnt looking directly at your camera. Love the power of the zoom! |
| Couldn't decide which BSB pic to put on the front of your binder. | Can't decide which BSB pic to make your cover pic on facebook. |
| Had to figure out how to program a VCR to see the boys on TV. Remember tracking? | Youtube |
| Listened to Millennium on cassette tapes. | Listens to This is Us on ipod. |
| Considered normal to cover locker in BSB Pics | No so normal to cover cubicle at work in BSB pics |
| Best feeling: Knowing you're breathing the same air as AJ | Best feeling: Getting a hug from AJ |
| Piles of VHS tapes | Piles of credit card debt |
| Get the latest BSB scoop a few days after the fact from backstreet.net | Get the latest BSB scoop before its even public via Twitter |
| Brian waves at you in concert and you squeal like a 13 year old girl | Still squeal like a 13 year old girl when Brian waves at you in concert |
| Excited to hear I Want it That Way performed live | Starting to get sick of hearing I Want it That Way live |
| Must endure BSB are gay jokes. | Must endure BSB are old jokes. |
| Thought Kevin was too old to give him a second look | Fully appreciate Kevin's mature sexiness |
| Thing you hate most: Nsync | Thing you hate most: Ground Ctrl |
| Most exciting purchase: A fresh new issue of Tiger Beat | Most exciting purchase: VIP baby! |
Feel free to add any others you can come up with below.

DeleteHi All! As some of you know, our guys are in the running at celebcharitychallenge.org and are currently ranked #2!
ReplyDeleteEach month, €10,000.00 is awarded to the celebrity with the most votes and the money goes to a charity of their choice. The fan who nominated them and a randomly selected fan get to meet the celebrity at the check presentation (the contest is international). Each user can vote up to once per day and each vote is another entry in the draw!
KTBSPA!!
Loved this! (I know, bit of a delayed response!) but its SO true! What would we do without technology!? :)
ReplyDelete"Get the latest BSB scoop a few days after the fact from backstreet.net"? I didn't have internet at the height of my fandom (1999-2000), I got the latest BSB scoop weeks or even months after the fact from a magazine.
