Group / band difference
Hi there!
I've came across the following description:
Group is a word which usually refers to anything such as a gathering of performers in music. On the other hand, band is a term which refers more specifically to people who play musical instruments.
or
A group performs music with mainly vocals or only vocals. Example backstreet boys and spice girls.
A band performs music with mainly vocals and instruments. Maroon 5 and Cold Play.
But why do people call BTS as boy band or Backstreet Boys as boy band? If you google top 10 boy bands you will see those "bands"... who is right?

Grear question. As a native English speaker, I have always been curious about "boy bands" like those being called bands in the first place. I still don't have an answer HAHA but kudos to you for being curious too!

I think we use 'boy band' in this context because of the alliteration, and it's more than likely just a marketing buzz word for pop music.

Your definition of vocal group and band is correct. Some are not aware of saying the correct identity of the group if they are a band or a vocal group and they might not know the correct definition of a group or a band in music.
