Worst Boy Bands

The Top Ten
1 One Direction One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after forming and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by social media, One Direction's four albums, Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home, Midnight Memories and Four topped charts in most major markets, and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young", and ...read more.

There are a few reasons why girls love this band, and they can all be reversed. Not that idiot Directioner's will listen though, they'll just say "I'm jealous" and "only hate them because I'm not perfect like them". No. One Direction has ripped off more song beats than any other band I've ever heard of. Directioner's, come at me for that, I'll send you their stolen songs. And the guys can't sing either, MAYBE one or two can sing ok, but it's ridiculous to say that they are the best band ever. Especially because they DO use auto-tune. And they don't play instruments! Now your gonna say, oh their a boy and, and oh they have nice voices. But people, Niall tries to play guitar and fails miserably. Listen to some Van Halen, then get back to me about how talented he is. And some Directioner told me that Zayn plays an instrument to. What instrument? Beat boxing. What kind of idiot - Next problem. They aren't even funny. Their personalities are nothing special at all, putting raisins in a hat ...more

You know, these guys are the worst, the worst, the best at being one of the worst. If any directioner asks me "WHY" or tell me "YOUR JUST JEALOUS blah blah blah", then you guys are blind, you just like them because they make songs about you GIRLS (their songs are nonsense, listen to their song "the best song ever" by 1D, you will see what I mean by nonsense) and they look hot (which is probably the only reason why these guys are famous) If you really love music, listen to bands like queen, led zeppelin or the Beatles, those are examples of REAL musicians

You know, all of these are bad. But 1D, 1D just takes that frakin' double chaclate cayuck and shoves it in little girls' faces.

This God forsaken boy band was just joined together by some fatneck dude for money and has the downright most DISGUSTING Down-to-earth teenage girl idiot songs aimed at pre-pubescent girls, and all of their songs include something to do with a girlfriend/boyfriend or something equally retarded as them.

Their music sucks, if I haven't mentioned already, and I'm a girl, and I hate it. Your scientific research on how music can effect girls into buying your crap obviously DOES NOT effect me, because I'm free like an eagle and cannot fall into your musical pitcher plant like all the other helpless insect girls have. My kind of music is calming/ethereal ambience, and if you dare start making that, I'm sure it'll suck and I won't even buy your stuff then.

They took one of the Beatles song titles AND did their famous picture of walking across the street. I saw a post a girl did where she said_ "who is this band the Beatles and why are they taking 1D's ideas? "
I literally want to kill myself over that post. The Beatles have been famous for over 50 years, nobody will remember One Direction in 30 years.
If you Google One Direction it says-'Boy Band' Google The Beatles and it says-'Rock Band' Because that's all One Direction is- a bunch of BOYS.
Todays music really sucks. Want to hear REAL music?
Bon Jovi, Eagles, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Journey, Foreigner, Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Rolling Stones, Bob Seger, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and there are WAY more besides them. Get real guys.

2 5 Seconds of Summer 5 Seconds of Summer are an Australian pop-rock band from Sydney, Australia, that formed in 2011. The group were originally YouTube celebrities, posting videos of themselves covering songs from various artists during 2011 and early 2012. They rose to international fame while touring with One Direction on the Take Me Home Tour.

They suck. They have very little musical "talent." Although they do play their own instruments, they play only the most basic and boring generic "punk" rock riffs. The pre-teen girls who are their main audience will tell you that they are the most talented group ever. These same pre-teen girls probably have never listened to anyone that is actually talented at all though. That's nothing special about 5 seconds of summer though, all modern boy bands suck. They all pander to their pre teen girl audience in their songs and attract listeners more with their looks.

Among just boy bands, they are not the worst. There are many that are far less talented. What makes this band take suck to the extreme is that they claim to not be a boy band while trying to put off a very fake, unauthentic "punk" vibe. All the while they are trying to put off their punk vibe, they are complete sellouts trying to pander to their target audience.

There's nothing wrong with liking this band. They ...more

Okay I just have a few things to say. "They suck," is not a valid argument. That is purely an opinion. I think it's sad that people are bashing each other over opinions. I see stuff all over twitter saying "Ashton should go cut himself because his band is garbage and they suck," that is terribly offensive to both Ashton, his band, and the fan base. Just because I'm not particularly fond of Justin Bieber, I don't go around saying "Justin should go kill himself, his fans are all little girls, he sucks," because I respect that other people have different tastes in music than me.

Shoutout to all you haters who don't have a life and live judging and dissing the people that are better than you

One day just stop and think what have I done with my life hmmm have I sold a million records? No! Have I saved lives? No Do I have over a million followers on Social media? No Do I sing good? No Have I sold out any arenas? No Do I have a life? No

Just face it your clowning on them when they are a million times more accomplished than you and that was only in I don't know 5 YEARS

So don't ever tell me that they are bad because look at yourself first ok ok thank you

Obviously you don't understand the meaning of poetry

Go get a life and stop making comments on other peoples dreams and lives!

May God Bless you! You need it

This garbage does not count as music. Playing cheesy one chord "punk" songs for emo tween girls out there was a genius marketing move on their part. Only reason they make money, other than that they are overrated, overhyped, and drives to the point where I want to cut off my ears.

3 Union J Union J are an English boy band consisting of members Josh Cuthbert, JJ Hamblett, Jaymi Hensley, Casey Johnson and previously George Shelley.

Same old boring story like One Direction they got famous from X-Factor. Big Time Rush doesn't deserve to be on this list.

What is this? I never even heard of them before this list

4 The Vamps The Vamps are a British pop rock band consisting of Brad Simpson, James McVey, Connor Ball and Tristan Evans.

There music is horrid. I even tried to like them even though one of my major fandom hates them (you can guess what fandom ) but I still couldn't get into their music except for somebody to you but only because of Demi

Vamps just suck. I liked it when I went to their concert, but that was half a year ago

I like the Vamps. Why are they 6. They shouldn't even be on this list

I love them becuase I met them at a meet and greet and there all night concert they said connor and jessica are dating jessica is my name!

5 Big Time Rush

The fact that they sampled Blur is just unacceptable. To add insult to injury, they didn't even get permission to sample "Song 2" and they don't even know the band as a whole. Get this disgusting excuse for a group to number 1 on this list. Eh, why do I even bother? All boy bands are terrible.

What the heck they are good and I mean they are really good not like those idiotic, try hard posers 1D I really like them they are original

This band is so idiotic and so mind numbingly bad that this is even offensive to be called a band at all.

How is this group of idiotic, try-hard, pieces of trash sitting at #10!? This should be NUMBER 1!

6 LFO Lyte Funkie Ones was an American pop band consisting of lead singer and primary songwriter Rich Cronin, Devin Lima, and Brad Fischetti.
7 BTS BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2013. RM is the leader and the other members are V, Jimin, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, and Jungkook

I never really understood what's so great about BTS. I tried to like them but they are just so boring and generic. The fanbase known as ARMYs just ruins the whole entire K-Pop genre for me. I respect your opinion if you like this band, but I honestly think they are garbage and even worse than One Direction.

They deserve to be number one, they're talentless and they don't write their own songs, don't make their music videos which are just dancing in front of colourful screens, sing with 10470887934r56t523714568492 layers of auto-tune, only liked for their looks and the fangirls are SO ANNOYING

They are disgusting! They try to be cute and funny, but they are not at all! They can't sing, they can't dance! They are cringy, ugly, and not funny!

BTS was one of the worst boy bands,because the horrible member and composition of each member. This boy bands so ugly and each member has an horrible face such as V kim taehyung : has a face like gay or Tomboys. And Rap moster has a lips like a grand canal. Jimin is fat like a pig

8 Naked Brothers Band

The name seems inappropriate.

9 Take That Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1989. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen.
10 Jonas Brothers The Jonas Brothers are an American pop rock band. Formed in 2005, they gained popularity from their appearances on the Disney Channel television network.

This band sucks. Nicks voice is nasilly and grating and joe has a stupid hippie dippie haircut he looks like Tyler from dog with a blog and Angela anaconda and Kevin is so duuumb should be number 1 worst band ever!

Suck so much. I don't have much to say. They're that terrible.

They made me hate music

I like you nick

The Contenders
11 JLS JLS were an English pop/R&B group, which consisted of members Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes, and JB Gill, originally formed by Williams.

Their songs were crap and they always said overused cliche phrases in every interview (such as you know and for us etc. )

12 EXO Exo is a South Korean-Chinese boy group based in Seoul. Formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2011, the group debuted in 2012 with twelve members separated into two subgroups, EXO-K and EXO-M, performing music in Korean and Mandarin, respectively.

Exo deserved at least in the top... ! Hahhahah I mean Exo is worst boy band ever!

EXO is not deserved in top 9 EXO deserved in top 1!

Their fans are horrible asf. Love their music but seriously though

Exo is the worst they have no talent

13 New Kids On the Block New Kids on the Block is an American boy band from Boston, Massachusetts. The band currently consists of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood.

HAHAAHA whatever I bet no one on this list even remembers them. My sister who is now 39, was a fan of them when she was 10 years old.

14 Westlife Westlife were an Irish boy band, formed in July 1998 and disbanded in June 2012. Originally signed by Simon Cowell and managed by Louis Walsh, the group's final line-up consisted of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, and Shane Filan.

The worlds most glorified covers band. Dull, boring and no creativity, originality or personality.
No wonder the British media/public rejoiced when they split up.

I've seen these live!

15 Justice Crew

Just saw these corny guys on AGT the Champions and they suck. Mediocre dance moves that teenagers would do and lip syncing. Wack @ss wannabe boy band that think they can dance and sing but can't even do 1 of them decent. They suck... They probably made it big in Australia because they have no other competition. Horrible routines but dope boy solos. Songs suck, horrible vocals. Just stick to bboy battles.

What the hell is a dance crew doing sing songs. Complete sellouts

Also they totally bit (stole) dance moves in the past to win Australia got talents anyway

Waste of space and time is what they are

Their song que sera is not reflective of anything other than it's meant to be that this boy band sucks!

Que sera means whatever will be, will be. Que sera they suck!

16 The Wanted The Wanted are a British-Irish boy band consisting of members Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes.

Pretty awful boy band. They did start the boy band trend of the early 2010's, which has fizzled out, but they're only notable for ONE song.

WORST. BAND. EVER! THEY SHOULD BE THE FIRST ON THE LIST! NOT ONE DIRECTION OR THE VAMPS! God who the heck likes the Wanted! Help me bring them up to first place people!

The wanted are the worst band ever! They are so mean to 1D. why are 1D on this list? They won many awards it's incredible. 1D rocks, TW wanted sucks

Die the wanted

17 LMFAO LMFAO was an American hip hop-electronic dance music duo consisting of uncle and nephew Redfoo and SkyBlu.

Not a boy band. But all their songs ARE on the same topic, but instead of girls, all their songs are about PARTYING.

I don't think this group is a boy band.

I hate those idiots

THEY'RE THE CRAPPIEST ALIVE!

18 Backstreet Boys The Backstreet Boys are an American vocal group, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The group consists of AJ McLean, Howie D., Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell.

Whoever put this on the list MUST be around 8 or 9 and they only heard about them from their parents/siblings.

These guys are dope they shouldn't be on this list.

Yes, they are very big posers.

19 Bangtan Boys (BTS) BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy group formed by Big Hit Entertainment.

This is the most cancerous boyband to ever exist, the fact that it's super popular makes me want to kill myself. This boyband is the new One Direction and it's even worse. How are they pretty they look like ken dolls with all that bad plastic surgery.

Worst band there is, so terrible, fanbase is delusional and hypocritical, especially the ones named anju, goodness me.

Why are BTS twice in this list. The first one is called BTS but this one is Bangtan Boys

The guys are actually fine but their fans...not so much. ARMY has the most delusional fanbase out there. Like the 'Directioners' of Kpop

20 'N Sync

Nsync is the best Boyband that ever existed! And so was Backstreet Boys!

How dare you they are the best

21 Why Don't We Why Don't We is an American pop boy band, that was assembled on September 27, 2016, consisting of Jonah Marais Roth Frantzich from Stillwater, Minnesota, Corbyn Matthew Besson from Fairfax, Virginia, Daniel James Seavey from Portland, Oregon, Jack Robert Avery from Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, and Zachary Dean Herron from Dallas, Texas, each of whom had previously recorded as solo artists.

"Not just another boy band" is literally just another boy band. Except maybe with better music videos. Still a huge autotune, f-boys fest that's overrated and typical.

Their fangirls deserve death
Most annoying people in the world

Most talented and amazing boys ever! Keep doing what you’re doing! And check them out because they are so talented.

22 CNCO

They are NOT racist and their songs are NOT boring! They are not creeps, they are genuine angels and everyone messes up sometimes. They did not mean to be racist and they did not mean to offend anyone! they apologized and the Army and BTS forgave them! Do you honestly think that if they are unpopular they would be able to go on a world tour( all around Europe and they went to Japan,Beijing, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines) and people would literally be chanting their songs even though most of the countries they went to were not Spanish speaking countries? I get that you don't like these boy bands but it seems like you think that every boy band that existed is trash!

Ugh, while I am a Latino/Hispanic, this Latino boy band sucks. They're still popular with their first song, they should stop repeating songs and write a new one, or else, they're going to lose popularity.

WORST BOYBAND EVER! Those creeps are nothing but racists,their songs are BORING and CREEPY and I just hate them!

23 The Jackson 5 The Jackson 5, or Jackson Five, also known as The Jacksons in later years, is an American popular music group. Formed in 1963 under the name the Jackson Brothers, the founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon.

They need to start making music again. I know Michael Jackson died but the others are more than capable to make new music for their fans.

My dad loves the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson and respect Michael because he is dead

The Jackson 5 are the best. I have been a Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson fan since I was 7.

One of the best boy bands ever how dare you call them bad

24 Chicser

Please stop making songs and albums.. chicser wont happen.. making yourself cute makes people barf.. sorry, just saying...

WORST...BAND...EVER...

They should be at the top of the list because they are talentless!

No talent, just showing they are cute or so. sucks to be them..

The cheapest gay-band ever

25 Five Five are an English boy band from London consisting of members Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, and Scott Robinson. They were formed in 1997 by the same team that managed the Spice Girls before they launched their career.

Its actually 5ive and they are one of those boy bands that are not "sweeties"

What a generic name.
