"Reviving Nostalgia: A '90s Boy Band Concert Experience in 2023"

The Pop 2000 Tour, a traveling rotation of 1990s and early-2000s boy bands, performed at a mall in Bethesda, Maryland, bringing back nostalgia for fans who grew up listening to their music. The concert featured members of 98 Degrees, 'N Sync, and O-Town, among others, and included singalongs of classic hits and medleys of popular songs. While the concert was a joyful experience for many, it was also a reminder of the darker side of fame, as LFO, a trio that lit up the charts in 1999, has suffered more loss than most, with two members passing away from cancer and another dying last week at age 47.
