If you’re looking for something to make you feel old, the Backstreet Boys are here to remind you just how quickly the last 25 years have gone.
BSB joined the 1990s boy band craze on April 20, 1993 and 25 years later, the group celebrated the milestone with an adorable throwback picture posted to their Instagram account:

Oh, the nostalgia! Will you just look at those baby faces?!
“On April 20th, 1993 we became the Backstreet Boys,” the band wrote on the post. “If you would have told us that 25 years later we would still be making music together, we would have never believed you. Thank you #BSBArmy ❤ Who’s ready for another 25 years?”
Another 25 years could be a reality! All five original members — Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough — are still in the group and perform shows to now-grown ’90s children and teens.
Along with a residency in Las Vegas, Backstreet Boys are also in talks to make their own tequila brand and are setting sail on a cruise in May for the sixth time!

If you need a reminder of just how popular BSB was in the 1990s and 2000s, consider this: Nine of their albums got a top 10 spot on the Billboard 200 and they had six top 10 hits, including “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)” and “I Want It That Way.”
Here’s to another 25 years, guys!
