Their success has been due to the "teen pop" genre and by the time they have their reunion, they are too old for "teen pop". The fans who love them when they were young, are now too old for "teen pop". The only way I see that work is for the musicians to constantly evolve, let the music speaks for itself (think Justin Timberlake for instance though I am not a huge fan of his), and continue to be relevant.
