Why it worked

The post taps into relatable experiences of aging and memory lapses, combined with nostalgia for a popular 80s/90s boy band. The humor and self-deprecating tone make it highly shareable.

Summary

The creator humorously contrasts their forgetfulness about everyday tasks with their perfect recall of song lyrics and dance moves from the 80s/90s boy band NKOTB. They jokingly offer their services as a backup dancer for the group, referencing menopause.
