“My interest in Boy Throb started out with finding them endearing and their goal of being with their friend really sweet, and it’s grown into being a genuine fan of their music,” [a fan named Nat] said. “I don’t think they would have gotten as popular as they did if there wasn’t so much bad stuff happening in the world right now, especially in the U.S. I think they skyrocketed partially because their entire persona is so uplifting and fun, which is a refreshing break against the backdrop of corruption and turmoil in the world right now.”

In our latest, Kayti Burt writes about Boy Throb, the pink-velour sweatsuited, *NSYNC-esque boy band who made getting one of their members, Darshan Magdum, a U.S. work visa a central part of their narrative over the past year. (Last week, he finally got it!) For many fans, the immigration angle was a major draw—as was the band's relentless positivity in the current political climate.
