14 Of The Most Ridiculous Moments In NSYNC’s ‘Pop’ Video

Ciara Knight

Cast your mind back to the summer of 2001.

The Celtic Tiger was rampant and our ears were flooded with the glorious sounds of Geri Halliwell, S Club 7, DJ Ötzi and NSYNC. What a time (it was) to be alive.

Some of us were far too young to recognise that NSYNC’s ‘Pop’ video was extremely cringe overall, but luckily, I have revisited it today.

The time has come to expose their shoddy workmanship. Here are the most ridiculous parts.
