Teenagers are a large chunk of who makes music popular so whatever is popular with them is generally going to sell well. So it's popular music. Basically, them listening to it is the cause not the effect.

In a world of seven billion people there is only one "teenager?"

Social constructs. Teens listen to what their peers listen to. Teens who listen to popular music tend to want to be popular themselves. Listening to goth, punk or prog music as a teen makes you an outsider. Only other kids on the fringe listen to those genres. Fringe kids tend to be outsiders. Ergo.
My dad said when he was a kid, he listened to jazz because his friends listened to jazz. (Miles Davis were very popular at this time. Late 50). So Dad and his friends all used to dress like Miles and his band and bought every Miles album because it was the cool thing to do. Another example. When I used to work in a record store (actual vinyl records) in th 80s, people actually went by what was popular on Billboard magazine Top 20 or American Top 40 on the radio. Mostly they would buy whatever they knew their friends were buying. What you find is, teens who enjoy music just for the sake of listening to music, generally don't fall into any of those groupings you see in high school (pop, hip hop, metal, goth). Unless their in the high school band to which they're usually like me. We tend to like or at least able to appreciate all music as long as it's good. |
