It didn't get any better as they listened to more songs. Many mistook NSYNC for The Backstreet Boys.

Defenseman Nicolas Hague, a 2017 Golden Knights draft pick who was born the month You Got Mail was released in theatres, defended his generation.
Although when it comes to You Got Mail, Hague had admitted that he's never used AOL Instant Messenger.
"I was born in '98, so those '90s songs, I missed about eight years," Hague said. "I knew a couple of them. I was honestly a little surprised with myself that I didn't know more.
"For me, when I think '90s music, I just think of The Backstreet Boys. I don't really know too much about '90s music, but that's the first thing that pops into my head."
When asked further questions about the 1990s, Hague shared additional comments that might date quite a few of us.
For one, Hague was incredulous when asked about his music taste and if he had ever purchased a CD.
"I don't think I've ever bought a CD," Hague said. "It was always on iTunes, buy a song, buy an album. When I was younger, I had an iPod. Now I just download it to my phone. That's how I get music now. And YouTube, I find new songs there.
"My favorite band is the Zac Brown Band," Hague said. "But any country music, I'll listen to that."
Hague added that he believes he has only used a pay phone once in his whole life.
When asked about his earliest hockey memories, Hague's answer also was another thing to lament…at least for some of us.
"What was the year Carolina won," Hague asked. "2006, Carolina. That's the last one I can remember back to, 2006. I remember Rod Brind'Amour lifting the Cup over his head. That's my first Stanley Cup memory."
