LORE & ORIGIN

Wikipedia ties the rise of real person slash to the popularity of boy bands in 1990s pop music, and notes that some fan communities reject it over concerns such as consent and libel. Fan-wiki accounts place the label's peak in the early 2000s, around NSYNC and Backstreet Boys fandoms.
