* The photographer behind their [[http://stillnsync.com/9899/photographer-debut-album-photos-blogs-experience American debut album]] revealed that by the orders of ExecutiveMeddling, he suggested that Justin play up his PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy image and Lance play up a SurferDude image in order to tell the two of them apart because they were both blond and had bleached their hair. Chris's infamous braids were also the photographer's idea, which both the label and Chris embraced.

*ThePeteBest: Early on in the group's history, NSYNC's bass vocalist was a guy named Jason Galasso. He ended up dropping out right before a live showcase that was to be recorded and sent out record labels alongside their demo tape, apparently unhappy with the direction the group was heading (read: BoyBand). After some scrambling they recruited Lance Bass and the rest is history.

* MemeAcknowledgment: Lance and Joey have acknowledged the "It's Gonna Be MAY" meme that pops up every April 30 on their Twitter accounts and Lance's Facebook page. Justin probably sick of it by now.
* OldShame: For Music/JustinTimberlake, at least. Zig-zagged as while he prefers to not talk about his boy band days now, he does acknowledge that *NSYNC played a pivotal part in his life and that he wouldn't be where he is today without them.

** Song wise, they all hated a song called "Riddle" from their European debut album. Chris mentioned that if they didn't like a song, they would compare it to "Riddle".

* {{Defictionalization}}: In the "It's Gonna Be Me" video, the band were marionette dolls. They subsequently released marionette versions of themselves with the same packaging seen in the video, but with different clothing.
* HeyItsThatGuy: The girl at the beginning of the "Pop" video is the [[Series/{{Supernatural}} Crossroads Demon.]]

* FanNickname: A few.
** Joey is called The Fat/Phat One, a play on his [[UnfortunateNames name]] and a reference to him being larger than the other members.
** During his braids phase Chris was jokingly called Pineapple Head.
** JC was called Kitten as fandom often compared him to one.
** Justin's nickname Juppy came out of a chat mixup and stuck.
** The group as a whole were commonly dubbed "puppies", the term originating from a popular fanfic series and referring to guys' playful and rambunctious natures and their apparent disregard for each others' personal space.
** And finally, Sparkly Dance Boys (SDB), inspired by their tendancy towards theatrical stage choreography and flamboyant costuming.


Added DiffLines:

* RealPersonFic: The RPF fandom for them and Backstreet Boys were huge. The fanbases are largely credited with jumpstarting the idea of using [=LiveJournal=] as a fandom platform, especially since the website picked up most of its steam from around the time both groups were popular. Fanlore even credits the fandom for planting the seeds of many common fandom experiences.

* On the supposed big feud with the BackstreetBoys, they weren't personal rivals. You might be surprised, if you were (or still are) one of those fans who were pretty hardcore on the FandomRivalry. They had a FriendlyRivalry and were definitely friends...not that it stopped Justin from joking that Backstreet just didn't stand a chance after ''No Strings Attached'' was released.

** Heck, JC even gave BSB a helping hand on their album, ''Unbreakable''.
** Lance and his fiance have attended Backstreet shows, and Lance once surprised AJ on a music discussion show where they poked fun at each other.
** Nick has since joked that after watching the VMA reunion, he wished it was longer so they could re-ignite their FriendlyRivalry for fun and nostalgia's sake.
-->'''Nick''': There was a part of me deep down inside that was almost disappointed. I'm like, bring back the rivalry. Let's do an *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys tour. Bring it on.
