Compared to Justin Bieber's antics, the Backstreet Boys' bad behavior in their heyday was larger than life.
"I'll tell you this: There is some s—t that AJ [McLean] and I both did that I'm really glad that social media wasn't around for," Nick Cartertold Elle in a new interview. "Because Justin Bieber couldn't hold a candle to what we did."
"We would have been like TMZ's saving grace, bro," McLean added. "Just anything from me being drunk or irate at a club, or me walking naked down the hallway in a hotel for no apparent reason."
He continued, "But, the fame now — it's like night and day. The other side of that which was different for us: Without social media, without YouTube, without instant access, we had to do everything grassroots. We had to do every interview, every radio show, every outlet. We had to go to every country — that was the only way to do it. There was no Instagram, or posting things on YouTube to get a record deal."
In addition to the latest wave of teen idols' public lives, BSB also took digs at their professionalism and talent.
"The new wave of boy band says, 'Oh, we don't do what they do,'" Howie Dorough scoffed. "But to be honest, to me, it's not as entertaining. What we do is we truly entertain people. Music, staging, dancing, everything."
Carter, 37, agreed.
"Yeah, and I think that's why we're still here in a lot of ways. Because it was always about a show," he said. "Regardless, we could always make great music and we could have hits. But whenever we hit the stage, we had to give a show that people would remember and that stood on its own."
