The pop-music revolution throughout Mexico in the late 1980s was a major inspiration for creating the band in order to compete against other teenager groups such as Menudo, Timbiriche, Flans, and Pandora.
Their first hit, "Cars, Fashion and Rock & Roll", rose in the charts in 1987 and remained in the top 10 for over 8 weeks. Further exposure on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto V extended the reign of the song on the charts. In addition, the girls were setting teen fashion trends in Mexico and Central America.
