Stuck behind someone at a show whose arms stay aloft for entire songs at a time, filming with a cell phone, putting an electronic barrier between you and the artist you paid to see. Not only is it an irritant for ticket buyers, it’s become a major aggravation for artists too. This has been an ongoing problem since the invention of the smart phone, but musicians are finally trying to do something about it. Jack White, Alicia Keys, Guns N’ Roses, Bob Dylan, and more have all opted to ban phones at their shows recently, and more are sure to follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new movement, coming 11 years after the introduction of the iPhone, is being aided by the invention of \u003ca href=\"https://www.overyondr.com/howitworks/\">Yondr\u003c/a> pouches. These neoprene phone sleeves have locks that can only be opened using a special tool that resembles the device that removes security tags at clothing store checkouts. Dave Chapelle was the first to popularize the use of \u003ca href=\"https://www.guidelive.com/nightlife/2017/11/08/comedians-chris-rock-locking-fans-phones-yondr-pouch-toyota-music-factory\">Yondr at comedy shows\u003c/a>, in order to protect his material. Chris Rock, Ali Wong, Michael Che, Joe Rogan, and other comedians have followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though comedy audiences have been compliant with these new restrictions, whenever a musician goes to the trouble of prying electronics out of the hands of concert-goers, the objections are plentiful, loud, and occasionally borderline hysterical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/chrisdancy/status/968471781081276416\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Inkfacefahz/status/968733383399493632\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's understandable. People do hate being told what to do. Marry that with the fact that our phones make us feel secure -- about everything from checking on children or with parents, to not losing friends inside the venue -- and people's unwillingness to go phone-free gets exacerbated. That's before we even get to the unending modern desire to capture and share every moment of our lives online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is, in the last decade, smartphones have utterly transformed how we experience live events -- and not in a positive way. In fact, if you are in your early 20s or younger, it's likely that you've never had the luxury of enjoying a live show in a fully immersive way, the way that generations before you took for granted.

Stuck behind someone at a show whose arms stay aloft for entire songs at a time, filming with a cell phone, putting an electronic barrier between you and the artist you paid to see. Not only is it an irritant for ticket buyers, it’s become a major aggravation for artists too. This has been an ongoing problem since the invention of the smart phone, but musicians are finally trying to do something about it. Jack White, Alicia Keys, Guns N’ Roses, Bob Dylan, and more have all opted to ban phones at their shows recently, and more are sure to follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new movement, coming 11 years after the introduction of the iPhone, is being aided by the invention of \u003ca href=\"https://www.overyondr.com/howitworks/\">Yondr\u003c/a> pouches. These neoprene phone sleeves have locks that can only be opened using a special tool that resembles the device that removes security tags at clothing store checkouts. Dave Chapelle was the first to popularize the use of \u003ca href=\"https://www.guidelive.com/nightlife/2017/11/08/comedians-chris-rock-locking-fans-phones-yondr-pouch-toyota-music-factory\">Yondr at comedy shows\u003c/a>, in order to protect his material. Chris Rock, Ali Wong, Michael Che, Joe Rogan, and other comedians have followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though comedy audiences have been compliant with these new restrictions, whenever a musician goes to the trouble of prying electronics out of the hands of concert-goers, the objections are plentiful, loud, and occasionally borderline hysterical.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"singleTwitterStatus","attributes":{"named":{"id":"968471781081276416"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"singleTwitterStatus","attributes":{"named":{"id":"968733383399493632"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's understandable. People do hate being told what to do.

That's before we even get to the unending modern desire to capture and share every moment of our lives online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is, in the last decade, smartphones have utterly transformed how we experience live events -- and not in a positive way.

The Academy Award nominated director of \u003cem>Supersize Me\u003c/em> might seem like an unlikely contender to helm a boy band movie (in 3D! It's like they're singing right at you!) but in his own words, \"Why not?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Why not One Direction?\" Spurlock said at a press conversation following the screening. \"Are you saying a handsome 42-year-old man can't be a \u003cem>directioner\u003c/em>?\" Spurlock revealed that over the years he had been offered several concert film projects (including fellow 3D experiences starring Justin Bieber and Katy Perry) but the timing had never worked out. \"Then come June [2012]: Sony calls and says 'have you ever heard of this band One Direction?' I had just been filming a series in England (\u003cem>New Britannia\u003c/em> for Sky Atlantic) and watched as they exploded in the U.K. and across Europe. Of course I knew who they were. When they asked if I wanted to come meet with them about doing a movie about these guys I was immediately like 'Yes, I would love to meet with them. I'm not going to miss the chance to do another one of these movies.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a documentary filmmaker, the chance to get to make a film of this scope and this scale are few and far between: they happen once every 3-4 years if you're lucky.\" Spurlock continued: \"To get to make a film with a studio, with a budget beyond anything documentary filmmakers ever get to have, to use technology you never have access to, to make a film in 3D, about a band that is one of the biggest bands in the world at such a crossroad in their career as they continue to explode into such a global phenomena is an amazing story I'd love to tell. If all those reasons why aren't good enough, let me put it into an even simpler perspective: the day this movie comes out it's going to be seen by more people around the world than have seen all my movies on opening day combined.

The concert scenes--the 3D segments of the film--radiate with the charm that initially catapulted the boys to stardom as they perform hits \"What Makes You Beautiful\" and \"Live While We're Young.\" And the backstage antics are a reminder that for all their superstardom, we're following five young men barely out of high school. While capturing the eye-popping choreography on the stage (eye-popping in its use of 3D: Spurlock exploits the stage show's visuals and the boys' movements to great effect in the technology), there's never a lack of cutaways to the ever-present 1Ders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/28/talking-one-direction-and-surviving-fan-land-with-director-morgan-spurlock/20130827-103741-jpg/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7889\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-7889 alignleft\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/20130827-103741.jpg\" alt=\"20130827-103741.jpg\" width=\"214\" height=\"314\">\u003c/a>\"What I love about them is they're still excited: there's still this incredible innocence for them.\" Spurlock answered when asked how he saw the band change in the year he spent with them on tour in North America, Europe and Asia. \"I think they've gotten used to the incredible mass of people around.

Not long ago, she began posting pictures of members of One Direction, a band I had specifically avoided even knowing about because, as far as I could tell, they were a boy band totally made up by some producer somewhere to sell records (downloads?) and get little girls whipped up into a frenzy. I'd seen that before and made a point of hating it (see: middle school). But then I happened to watch their adorable video for \"Kiss You\" and something snapped in my brain. Suddenly, I was the 13-year-old I absolutely wasn't at 13 (Counting Crows was my favorite band back then, obviously). I started going back into the annals of boy band-hood and wondering: What makes a boy band a BOY BAND and not just a group of dudes playing music together? Why are 'N Sync and One Direction boy bands but Counting Crows and Mumford and Sons just bands? Here, my friends, is what I discovered:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>To be a boy band, you have to sing catchy tunes about girls.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMNPPwq8I2Y]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Most people will tell you that The Beatles were the first boy band. I wasn't always convinced of this because they are MUSICIANS and wrote their own stuff and went on to each have pretty amazing individual careers. However, on closer inspection, I realized that they STARTED as a boy band and then morphed into just a band. Back in the \"I Want To Hold Your Hand\" British Invasion days, when they all dressed the same and had those cute haircuts, they were definitely a boy band. And the first clue is the peppy and sweet songs about girls. Songs that say: \"Hey, we're just a bunch of nice, approachable dudes, hanging out together, talking about you, the girl we love, in a really respectful way.\" As a person who knows a lot of dudes well enough to know that generally when they are alone talking about girls the subject of holding hands RARELY comes up, I think this must be part of the appeal of boy bands. A horde of teenage boys can be quite a terrifying thing to a young girl in real life. And individually too, boys are scary. They hurt your feelings, don't ask you to dances, break-up with you on Valentine's Day because you won't have sex with them, etc. But not boy bands. They are always a group of cute dudes who just want to hold your hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There can't be a real front man.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fndeDfaWCg]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>I use Backstreet Boys as an example here because clearly, IN MY OPINION, this is the Nick Carter show. BUT, the band isn't \"Nick Carter and the Backstreet Boys,\" just as The Monkees isn't \"Davy Jones and the Monkees.\" Someone is always going to be \"the cute one\" and \"the goofy one,\" but the lack of a front man is crucial because it shows that you are all on the same level, there are no divas (even if there are) and, in support of the subject matter of your songs and the non-threatening vibe you are going for, none of you are the silver back gorilla or the alpha male. You're just a group of good-time-loving beta bros, hanging out, not hurting anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You can be a group of brothers, but only if you are still somehow sexualized.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho7796-au8U]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>One of the great debates I had with myself and others while coming up with this list is: Can a group of brothers be a boy band? My main question was Hanson. They seem in some respects like a boy band. They are cute and have matching haircuts and sing happy music. But they also were missing something. I originally thought it was that they were brothers, but then I thought of The Jackson 5 and The Jonas Brothers, both CLEARLY boy bands. Why one and not the other? As my friend Kevin Hobson put it: \"Jackson 5 and Jonas Brother count because they were sexualized by their handlers. Hanson never really was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your music has to be dance-able, especially at high school dances. It helps if you have dance moves that can be emulated.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbIEwIwYz-c]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The boy bands that stand the test of time all have this in common: Their music makes you want to dance. I missed out completely on the New Kids on the Block craze because I had no TV and my parents at that point were playing a lot of Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson records around the house. However, there was a girl down the street who knew ever single move to the \"The Right Stuff\" dance and she would do it on her front stoop every day. She also wore a side ponytail, which I couldn't do since I had a bowl cut. I was, of course, consumed with jealousy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have to be a little sexy. Not TOO sexy, but definitely sexy.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV8vB1BB2qc]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Boyz II Men is by far the sexiest of all the boy bands, but they are also an example of how to do boy band sexiness right. Since, as you know, the goal is to be as un-intimidating and approachable as possible, while remaining masculine and heterosexual (ish, see the next requirement), boy bands must strike the right balance of sweetness and romance with straight-up sex. Spoiler: they always err on the side of romance. Can you imagine Lil Wayne singing: \"I'll make love to you, like you want me to, and I'll hold you tight, baby all through the night?\" Answer: no. Because his music is for straight men and Boyz II Men is for everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've got to have a little (or a lot) homoerotic tension.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4cdfRohhcg]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Teenage girls have always loved to see boys showing each other a little love. And by \"always\" I mean since at least 1998 when wrestling inexplicably became my favorite spectator sport. Somehow boy on boy hugging (\"wrestling\") and butt patting makes the participants seem a little more benign and maybe, a little more likely to hug/\"wrestle\" us or pat us on the butts IN A FRIENDLY WAY. Basically, boys who can show they love each other can show they love us too! They can talk about feelings! When they are angry, they'll probably cry instead of punch a wall. And we like that! Granted, One Direction takes it pretty far with \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/ranking-which-two-members-of-one-direction-are-most-likely-i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their genital-touching and kissing\u003c/a> but somehow, doesn't this make them even cuter? Even if they are all in love with each other and have no interest in having actual relationships with girls, who cares? Some of the sweetest, most girl-positive boys I know are gay. Would a straight man have made me \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/BPT_gwUpVxg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this video expressing his love for me\u003c/a>? Probably not. And I think we can all agree that it would be safer for teenage girls if all their boyfriends were actually interested in being friends and loving them for them and not actually having sex with them at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So which boy band is your imaginary boyfriend?

Not long ago, she began posting pictures of members of One Direction, a band I had specifically avoided even knowing about because, as far as I could tell, they were a boy band totally made up by some producer somewhere to sell records (downloads?) and get little girls whipped up into a frenzy. I'd seen that before and made a point of hating it (see: middle school). But then I happened to watch their adorable video for \"Kiss You\" and something snapped in my brain. Suddenly, I was the 13-year-old I absolutely wasn't at 13 (Counting Crows was my favorite band back then, obviously). I started going back into the annals of boy band-hood and wondering: What makes a boy band a BOY BAND and not just a group of dudes playing music together? Why are 'N Sync and One Direction boy bands but Counting Crows and Mumford and Sons just bands? Here, my friends, is what I discovered:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>To be a boy band, you have to sing catchy tunes about girls.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/OMNPPwq8I2Y'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/OMNPPwq8I2Y'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Most people will tell you that The Beatles were the first boy band. I wasn't always convinced of this because they are MUSICIANS and wrote their own stuff and went on to each have pretty amazing individual careers. However, on closer inspection, I realized that they STARTED as a boy band and then morphed into just a band. Back in the \"I Want To Hold Your Hand\" British Invasion days, when they all dressed the same and had those cute haircuts, they were definitely a boy band. And the first clue is the peppy and sweet songs about girls. Songs that say: \"Hey, we're just a bunch of nice, approachable dudes, hanging out together, talking about you, the girl we love, in a really respectful way.\" As a person who knows a lot of dudes well enough to know that generally when they are alone talking about girls the subject of holding hands RARELY comes up, I think this must be part of the appeal of boy bands. A horde of teenage boys can be quite a terrifying thing to a young girl in real life. And individually too, boys are scary. They hurt your feelings, don't ask you to dances, break-up with you on Valentine's Day because you won't have sex with them, etc. But not boy bands. They are always a group of cute dudes who just want to hold your hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There can't be a real front man.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/4fndeDfaWCg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/4fndeDfaWCg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>I use Backstreet Boys as an example here because clearly, IN MY OPINION, this is the Nick Carter show. BUT, the band isn't \"Nick Carter and the Backstreet Boys,\" just as The Monkees isn't \"Davy Jones and the Monkees.\" Someone is always going to be \"the cute one\" and \"the goofy one,\" but the lack of a front man is crucial because it shows that you are all on the same level, there are no divas (even if there are) and, in support of the subject matter of your songs and the non-threatening vibe you are going for, none of you are the silver back gorilla or the alpha male. You're just a group of good-time-loving beta bros, hanging out, not hurting anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You can be a group of brothers, but only if you are still somehow sexualized.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ho7796-au8U'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ho7796-au8U'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>One of the great debates I had with myself and others while coming up with this list is: Can a group of brothers be a boy band? My main question was Hanson. They seem in some respects like a boy band. They are cute and have matching haircuts and sing happy music. But they also were missing something. I originally thought it was that they were brothers, but then I thought of The Jackson 5 and The Jonas Brothers, both CLEARLY boy bands. Why one and not the other? As my friend Kevin Hobson put it: \"Jackson 5 and Jonas Brother count because they were sexualized by their handlers. Hanson never really was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your music has to be dance-able, especially at high school dances.

I missed out completely on the New Kids on the Block craze because I had no TV and my parents at that point were playing a lot of Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson records around the house. However, there was a girl down the street who knew ever single move to the \"The Right Stuff\" dance and she would do it on her front stoop every day. She also wore a side ponytail, which I couldn't do since I had a bowl cut. I was, of course, consumed with jealousy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have to be a little sexy.

Since, as you know, the goal is to be as un-intimidating and approachable as possible, while remaining masculine and heterosexual (ish, see the next requirement), boy bands must strike the right balance of sweetness and romance with straight-up sex. Spoiler: they always err on the side of romance. Can you imagine Lil Wayne singing: \"I'll make love to you, like you want me to, and I'll hold you tight, baby all through the night?\" Answer: no. Because his music is for straight men and Boyz II Men is for everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You've got to have a little (or a lot) homoerotic tension.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/T4cdfRohhcg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/T4cdfRohhcg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Teenage girls have always loved to see boys showing each other a little love. And by \"always\" I mean since at least 1998 when wrestling inexplicably became my favorite spectator sport. Somehow boy on boy hugging (\"wrestling\") and butt patting makes the participants seem a little more benign and maybe, a little more likely to hug/\"wrestle\" us or pat us on the butts IN A FRIENDLY WAY. Basically, boys who can show they love each other can show they love us too! They can talk about feelings! When they are angry, they'll probably cry instead of punch a wall. And we like that! Granted, One Direction takes it pretty far with \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/ranking-which-two-members-of-one-direction-are-most-likely-i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their genital-touching and kissing\u003c/a> but somehow, doesn't this make them even cuter? Even if they are all in love with each other and have no interest in having actual relationships with girls, who cares? Some of the sweetest, most girl-positive boys I know are gay. Would a straight man have made me \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/BPT_gwUpVxg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this video expressing his love for me\u003c/a>? Probably not. And I think we can all agree that it would be safer for teenage girls if all their boyfriends were actually interested in being friends and loving them for them and not actually having sex with them at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So which boy band is your imaginary boyfriend?
