The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
98 Degrees are the Jesus freaks of the boy-band bunch, and although they are 3/4 cute, and I think two of them are twins, they still seem gay to me (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Also, they have more tattoos per capita than N Stink or Backdoor Boyz. Should contain the disclaimer: Contains 0% Revelations. All the songs suck, but you knew that already. Recommended if you have brain damage.
