Teen pop is a sub-genre of popular music marketed to tweens and
teens. Its melodic yearning and veneer of sincerity appeal to an
emerging romantic eroticism and autonomy. But tweens and teens buy
music that isn’t primarily marketed to them, too. Teen pop
encompasses several kinds of musical styles, not limiting itself to
just one—teen pop wants to play. During the 1970s, teen pop
sometimes worked subversively, challenging the status quo it seemed
to represent. Male pop stars such as David Cassidy were shown
suggestively in popular magazines and female pop stars such as Cher
had their own TV shows. Teen magazines, pin-ups, comics, films, and
TV programs provided luscious visual stereo, promoting fashion
styles, lingo, and dance moves, signaling individual identity but
also community. The music provided a way for young people to
believe they had something all their own, an authenticity
experimenting with sexuality and social conduct, all dressed up in
glitter and satin, blue jeans and boom boxes, torn fishnets and
safety pins and, magically, their dreams. Cartoon pop and
made-for-TV bands! Bubblegum pop! Glam! Hip hop! Hard rock and pop
rock and stadium rock! Punk! Disco! Teen pop reinforced aspects of
the counterculture it absorbed as the music kept playing—and
playing back. Although it’s very difficult to attain and maintain
social progress and play it forward—there are so many
tragedies—'70s Teen Pop examines how liberation and a true
counterculture can be possible through music.
