Take That

These are highly 'produced' bands carefully designed to appeal to a specific, usually young-teenage audience. Sometimes they are actually put together to a formula by music producers (something first done with The Monkees as early as the 1960s).

Examples from the 1990s include Take That, The Spice Girls and Boyzone
