: Hello dear friends
: The computer makes impossible matches between music groups.
: I would like to know if Backbacon boys and N'SQL are real names or parody on real groups and what are the real ones if it rings a bell?

: Thank you very much

: just for context:
: It is said that the computer also matches hip hop and new country.

Backbacon Boys (fake) = Backstreet Boys (real)
N'SQL (fake) = N'Sync (real)

Both groups are "boy bands" with 5 ostentibly clean-cut youngsters (aged about 18-23?) with sweet lyrics and bouncy machine-made pop rhythms that created and marketed to appeal to the female pre-teen set, although they do seem to appeal to some other market segments.

By the way, I don't know if this matters but "backbacon" is considered a Canadian staple.

As for matching hip hop with new country, go figure computers!
