New Kids on the Block, or NKOTB, are a [[Southies|Bostonian]] [[Five-Man Band]] [[Boy Band]]. Originally conceived as a [[Race Lift|white version]] of [[New Edition]] (seriously), they enjoyed several years of major success in the late [[The Eighties|80's]] and early [[The Nineties|90's]], but declining sales, internal strife, and accusations of lip-syncing and other issues led to the group disbanding in 1994. Most of the members went on to solo musical careers, and Donnie Wahlberg became a successful actor. They got back together in 2008, released a new album, and held a very successful and much [[Better Than It Sounds]] [http://www.thenewkidsforever.com/ reunion tour] and a tour in 2011 co-headlining with the [[Backstreet Boys]]. [[Boy Band]] fans are ''just'' [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|a little bit excited about this]]...
NKOTB is one of the [[Trope Makers]] (or, at least, [[Trope Codifier

* [[Celebrity Endorsement]]:
** During their original run, the band endorsed name-brand products during their most popular years. Most notably, Coca-Cola, which peaked with a contest run by the soda company that tied into their Magic Summer tour. Sadly, the "Magic Cans" caused a lot more grief than expected. (Your Golden Ticket was supposed to pop up through the opening of the can if you won. This did not work so well in practice.)
