New Kids on the Block is getting back together. That is, the New Kids who don’t have a whole lot else going on. Mark Wahlberg, you’re making movies and generally contributing to society, so you’re excused.
BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) — They may be pushing 40, but the New Kids are returning to the block.
Donnie Wahlberg, who has forever confirmed his status as the Lesser Wahlberg, is 38 years old. Just imagine, soon you’ll be able to see a man old enough to be elected President doing this in front of dozens, perhaps hundreds of excessively ironic young adults.

CORRECTION: It has been correctly indicated to me that Mark Wahlberg was, in fact, not a member of NKOTB. He made his own thoroughly mediocre music as a member of the Funky Bunch. Majorly English regrets the error.

I didn’t think Marky Mark was ever a New Kid; that’s why he started the Funky Bunch. But perhaps I’m confused.

No, he was an NKOTB member originally, but dropped out to start the Funky Bunch because he wanted to make “harder” music.
