Stray Kids opened their performance at the AMAs 50th Anniversary Concert with a nostalgic nod to 'N Sync's classic 'Bye Bye Bye,' complete with puppet strings, before diving into their own upbeat track 'Chk Chk Boom.' This blend of homage and original artistry showcases the enduring influence of past boy bands on today's pop music scene.
During the performance, Stray Kids described the experience as them 'vibing' with their predecessors, demonstrating the timeless appeal of boy bands and the seamless connection between different generations of pop stars.
