ABSTRACT
Very little is known about Neil Tennant. As an interview subject for Cosmopolitan magazine, the missal for pseudo-It girls, he is granted the privilege of a Playboy centrefold by only possessing a first name. Boy bands have a history only slightly shorter than rock and roll. The Beatles were the first group to mark each individual member with attributes, specificity and personality. Sheryl Garratt has added much to the historical record because of her disclosure. While most post-boy band singers insist that they have serious fans, this affirmation invariably decentres the millions of female screamers who granted them an original audience. Robbie Williams does not mind 'doing it for the kids', because they are merely one of his markets. Mobilizing Kylie Minogue to verify his point, both the Xer singers claimed a teen market in their youth, but then aged with their audience.
