Teenybopper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A teenybopper is a teenager, especially a girl in her early teens, who follows teenage fashions in music, clothes, etc.
The term was introduced in the 1950s to refer to teenagers and their music, as a result of the new phenomenon of a popular music aimed at and enjoyed by teenagers (rock and roll). It again became used widely in the late 1960s, when there began to be increased awareness of marketing in pop music and fashion aimed specifically at that age group.
