Deep Purple Slams Backstreet Boys: ‘Just Kids Roaming Around in This Game!’

 

In a surprising turn of events, legendary rock band Deep Purple has taken a jab at pop icons Backstreet Boys, dismissing them as “just kids roaming around in this game.” The comment came during a recent interview where the band reflected on their long-standing career in the music industry and the evolution of rock versus pop.

 

Deep Purple, known for their classic hits like “Smoke on the Water” and “Highway Star,” has been a pillar of hard rock since the 1970s. During the interview, lead guitarist Steve Morse expressed his disdain for the perceived superficiality of some contemporary pop acts, specifically singling out the Backstreet Boys. “They’re a nostalgic group, and while they had their moment in the ’90s, they just seem like kids playing dress-up now,” he remarked.

 


The Backstreet Boys, who rose to fame with their catchy boy band anthems, have yet to respond to Deep Purple’s comments. Fans of both bands have taken to social media to express their opinions, with some siding with Deep Purple’s critique of modern pop music while others defend the Backstreet Boys as enduring icons in their own right.



 

This latest feud highlights the ongoing divide between rock and pop, as established acts grapple with the changing landscape of the music industry. Whether this rivalry will spark further exchanges between the two bands remains to be seen, but it certainly adds another layer to the colorful history of rock and pop culture.
