As a teenager, I was completely obsessed with *NSYNC. I knew every lyric, recorded every performance, went to their concert, and yes, I dreamed of marrying JC Chasez! “Crazy-obsessed” is definitely an accurate way to describe it. One of the biggest reasons for my obsession was their incredible dancing (plus, let’s be real, they were dreamy!). And in my opinion, no boy band routine is more iconic or better than “Bye Bye Bye.” I actually taught myself the steps by repeatedly watching a VHS recording of their 2000 American Music Awards performance. Rewinding and replaying on a VCR wasn’t easy back then, kids!
