Why are there so few long lasting girl bands?

[Shiprex]

I decided to waste much of this Saturday listening to music from the past and just chill and got to thinking that I cannot for the life of me think of any girl bands (Corrs was a family and there was a brother involved) that have passed the test of time. Girls Aloud, Destiny's Child, Bananarama, the Original girl band Spice Girls and it was Pussycat dolls track that brought this up since I don't think any of those bands still perform together.

When compared to bands like Aerosmith, Def Leppard, ZZ Top and Europe all stuck around for decades and some are still putting it out there are live performances.

Is this something that suggests women can't stick with things for long? Or that men will keep doing stuff they like with their mates forever as they strive for the camaraderie that brings?

being part of a group is tough unless each one is valued equally. that's never the case. each and everyone is replaceable but guys are less bitchy. the breakups happen because of shit talking and that less than equal value. some try to become divas while still in the group! that's a no-no

Do all of those male groups have their original lineups?

Some of them die from all sorts. Iron Maiden are still up for touring and they still got much of their lineup going.

You're comparing different styles of music. Pop boy bands break up, too.

Well their target audience grows up. Then they want to have children

Or a big one is that one or more of the group decides they can make more money instead of splitting it multiple ways if they release an album on their own. Think of camile from 5th harmony, instead of splitting the money 5 ways she gets it all after expenses.

It's an interesting observation that highlights the unique challenges girl bands face. While many male bands stay together, girl bands often disband due to societal pressures, personal aspirations, or changes in group dynamics. It's not about an inability to stick with it; rather, shifting priorities and individual pursuits play a role. Women in music frequently face different expectations compared to their male counterparts, which can influence longevity. Nonetheless, individual artists often find enduring success in their solo careers, showcasing their talent in diverse ways. The evolving music scene continues to offer opportunities for new and unique girl bands to emerge. 🎤🎶

Because looks don't last forever and they have no musical talent
