Question for 90s teenagers?

I love One Direction, Jonas Brothers & Justin Bieber

But I also love Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT) from the 90s as much as them

I wonder if he was like the same type of heartthrob as those "new" guys when he was out like girls being crazy and swooning over him cause I read much that girls were in sane over JTT and had 100s of posters of him like girls do today of these guys

Like he seemed to be the biggest teen idol heartthrob out there

That wasn't in music like those 3 guys are

He seems like the biggest heartthrob that's only an actor in history that wasn't involved in music or any kind of singing

Like actually if you look at today's teen idols is seems like there is NO WAY a young guy star could come along and JUST act and not be involved in music and singing

It's like if you wanna be a heartthrob TODAY you have to know some kind of music

You either have to do both or just music

It's SO stupid I mean as much as I like Jonas, Bieber and 1D but there ALL singers and rock stars

Back then there used to be so many teen idols who were JUST ACTORS not singers

PS if any teen guy sees this and wanna be a teen heartthrob well then you better know how to sing cause if your new and your just gonna have a show out let me tell you no one is hardly gonna pay any attention to you until you come out with some sort of music I think it's like that most stars on Disney Channel today cause they have a show out and no one watches it much and so they think twice then they all start making music cause there tv ain't going much any where so Disney stars pretty much today also most MUST know how to sing

I have posters of all them including JTT

    Devon Sawa. He was all any of the girls talked about in middle school. And of course in high school Titanic came out and everyone was crazy over Leonardo DiCaprio. Plus even though they were older all the girls were crazy for Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt. When I think about it, I don't really remember many music hearthrob types from the 90s. In the beginning of the 90s there was New Kids on the Block, but they were a little before my time. I knew some girls who were into the Backstreet Boys, or N Sync (and even one who liked Hanson!), but they were nowhere near as big a deal as the actors. But you have to remember 2 things: 1) TV before the 90s was something like 20 or 30 channels in most places and there weren't many teenage guys on TV before then, and 2) they didn't make many movies for younger teens before that, either. Having heathrob actors was a whole new thing that came around after more channels led to having more shows, and the DVD format which was much cheaper than VHS gave anybody and everybody the ability to publish movies a lot more cheaply, which led to an expansion in demographics there as well.

    might desire to have been rather cool isn't? To be a teen from the 90s. properly, myself i replaced right into a newborn then. . . and that i'm a teen now. Yeah, you suitable. cases have replaced although now. however the years nonetheless rock like the way till now, do no longer they? I propose, you had orange parachutes then, and we've PSP now. You hear to cassettes and we do to the iPod, nonetheless we are doing the comparable undertaking.. it is enjoying song. Hmmm... I too ask your self whether media centred on such issues or no, however the only distinction now's, If something happens like that now, media grabs it and by no ability shall we it flow. i in my view hadn't been a teen in 90s, yet when I have been, i think of i ought to have relived the memories of then, now. i think of sometime, i will additionally ask this question to somebody like this, and attempt to appreciate what life exchange delivered them. till then, save smiling :)
