  • Ah! I can't! I'm gonna be here all day.

  • - Back in the day especially, there are just so manufactured!

  • They're so plastic! There's literally no depth to them!

  • And now, it's like they're with their wives and it's fun,

  • and they have chemistry.

  • And I feel like that's so important in a video.

  • - (FBE) All right, so let's go back to the first video we showed you

  • and their comeback. So, in just a week since its release,

  • the video has amassed over 50 million views

  • and was one of the most talked about moments on social media.

  • - When I saw that the Jonas Brothers came out with a new song,

  • huge surprise. I was honestly shocked.

  • - (FBE) Why do you think that this is such a big deal

  • to so many people? - Because everyone waited so long!

  • Everyone's loving it because it's the same sound.

  • You hear the music and you're like, "Yes,

  • that's the Jonas Brothers." - I think there's just one big reason

  • why people are freaking out, and it's just nostalgia.

  • - This is part of so many people's childhoods,

  • like the movies, the shows that they had.

  • They blew the [bleep] up. - Because they're brothers too

  • that it was so sad for them to break off and do their own thing.

  • This is kind for all of the fans that are grown up and got married

  • and then stuff, that's it like-- this is them coming back

  • and saying, like, "Hey, we're okay. We're still brothers.

  • We still love each other. We still wanna do this thing."

  • - (FBE) So, the brothers have said that they combined Nick and Joe's

  • solo sounds to create this new sound for the group.

  • - 100%. You can tell that they've combined their sounds,

  • but it was a smart decision.

  • - (FBE) What do you think about this new era

  • of Jonas Brothers' sound compared to their old classics?

  • - I definitely see some maturity. I mean, not as much

  • as I would've liked. They're not, like, a George Clooney.

  • - As they mature, their music has to, and I think that's normal.

  • And it would've been weird if they were still singing songs

  • like "Year 3000." - It does sound a lot more

  • like DNCE and Nick Jonas's solo stuff, which I have always gravitated

  • more towards. Never hardcore, but more than the original JoBros.

  • - (FBE) All right. So, let's dig a little bit into the past.

  • How old were you when the Jonas Brothers

  • were at the height of their popularity,

  • and how did you feel about them back then?

  • - I think I was 12. And I literally

  • couldn't care less about them. I was uncool for not liking them.

  • - 11 or 12. Their music wasn't for me,

  • but I never disliked them. - 2007. I was in seventh grade.

  • I was a middle schooler. Too cool for the Jonas Brothers,

  • like, I can't be fans of them. - We were in the seventh grade,

  • 'cause we waited 11 hours in line to see them. (laughs)

  • And we skipped school to go see them. - Yeah, we did.

  • - 14, 15. And then as they kind of caught that wind from there--

  • And I definitely had total jelly, like jelly feelings,

  • because all the girls I liked were into them.

  • - Nine or ten then when the Jonas Brothers

  • were at their peak right around 2008.

  • My older cousins, who I always really looked up to

  • loved the Jonas Brothers. So, it was perfect,

  • because it was the three of us together.

  • And the two older ones were like, "Yeah, I'm gonna marry Joe."

  • "I'm gonna marry Nick." So, I got stuck with Kevin.

  • And no offense to Kevin, but I wanted Nick!

  • - Nine years old, and those guys were my idols.

  • They were everything I wanted to be.

  • This is really embarrassing, but I wrote on the wall

  • with a sharpie-- This is fourth grade me.

  • I wrote their lyrics on a wall, because it was just like--

  • I don't know. I had to do that.

  • - (FBE) So, one of the big aspects that many tabloids liked

  • to discuss back then were the Jonas Brothers

  • and their purity rings, being on Disney and being a symbol

  • to wait for the right person. - My favorite tweet was,

  • "The Jonas Brothers are back, and they've had sex."

  • - I remember seeing everything about the purity rings

  • and being like, "I know these boys are banging Selena Gomez

  • behind the scenes." Like, you cannot tell me that they weren't!

  • - I had one because of them. - One of the things I did like

  • about them is that they were totally open with their religion

  • and totally open with wearing purity rings.

  • And that was the coolest thing, especially coming from

  • a Christian family and wanting to wait and stuff like that.

  • But now that they're older and stuff, they've experienced life

  • and they lived their own lives and they chose what they wanted

  • to do, and they got married and they did their own thing.

  • - (FBE) So now, all three brothers are either married or engaged,

  • and their new song has a sexier vibe than what fans may have been used to

  • from their previous music. - Well, yeah.

  • They've experienced more life. They've made it past first base.

  • - (FBE) So, what do you think it's like for fans

  • to see them grow up and to see them go from kids

  • on Disney to a more mature style and music?

  • - I mean, it's cool, 'cause we forget that celebrities

  • are people too, and they age,

  • and they go through their own things. Now that they're older

  • and they see them grow with them, it must be really cool.

  • - I don't think it's all that weird. It feels almost perfect

  • just because a lot of their fans are older now,

  • so they're kind of ready for these mature themes.

  • - It's like watching your babies. (chuckles) It's like,

  • I knew that dude when he was singingHold on

  • And now, he's over here singing about adult themes.

  • It's just-- it's insane. - It's normal for them to grow up.

  • But it's difficult, because, you know,

  • you know them so well as these young kids.

  • But at the same time, they had to.

  • - (FBE) So finally, as a young adult now,

  • you are one of the first generations of adults who grew up

  • with social media, allowing fans to follow artists

  • or groups as they got older and evolved or even split up

  • like the Jonas Brothers. So, how is this different

  • than generations of the past who grew up with their favorite artist

  • but without social media around? - I think it gives a bit more mystery

  • to the artist. It might draw you into them

  • a little bit more, because there is no social media.

  • - Social media has twisted fandoms into the most amazing thing

  • and the most dark, twisted, horrible thing,

  • because you have these whole communities online

  • that are just rabid, which means that it makes the bad

  • really bad and the good really good.

  • It just spreads so much quicker now. It's so much more in your face

  • all the time than it was back then. - Yeah, that's true.

  • We had to wait till the next Tiger Beat

  • freaking magazine came out with all the posters

  • and had to buy every single one of them

  • and just use all the posters. - Yeah!

  • - It's just more informative. Having social media,

  • you have a, "Oh, they released Wire,""

  • "They tweeted this," or "They said this."

  • And it's like-- it's a good way to compile

  • a whole bunch of different information. - The relationship between the fans

  • and the celebrity is so much easier

  • and authentic now because the celebrity is the one

  • that's creating the content. Before everything seemed

  • to be, like, maybe there's a middleman or it was produced and there wasn't

  • that authenticity that social media allows.

  • - With social media, we got to see a more personal side

  • of them rather than when they were on TRL

  • or when their music videos played on MTV.

  • I'm gonna make up for the time in 2008 when I didn't go

  • to any of their concerts, and I'm gonna be the first one

  • at that door at my computer buying whatever concert tickets I need.

  • I don't know. Maybe I'll mess around

  • and become a groupie. I'm totally cool with it.

  • - Thanks for watching this episode of College Kids React.
