Take one part late-’90s boy-band craze, one part late-’90s-boy-band-craze parody 2Ge+her, one part Internet Age irony, a half-part K-pop groups like Shin-ee*, a smattering of Justin Bieber, and top with a big dollop of Lance Bass, and you have Heart2Heart, a new “boy band” mentored by the former N’Sync member, which just released a video for the hilariously (purposely?) brain-dead “Facebook Official.”
The video is well on its way toward a million YouTube views, and its current 1,900-likes-to-15,500-dislikes ratio (those are Rebecca Black numbers!) indicates that a lot of people either don’t get the joke, or don’t appreciate the skill that went into crafting those sub-Bieber hairstyles and that arms-only “dance break.” In case you’re still not clear on the gag—and really, it’s still not entirely clear that it is just a gag—check out the band members’ Teen Beat-ready “bios” from the group’s Facebook page:
