Why do teenager listen to pop music?

Barely because the ears adapt to what is listened to. This is pretty much like food, palate needs to be trained so the taste evolves with years. If you give a 5 yo child something spicy with heavy tastes, he won't like it because he isn't used to it.

Music is the same, everyone starts by airing what's popular. Even if you don't want to, that's what is used as background music on all popular events, on all TV programs etc, not even mentioning FM radios obviously. With this starting point, ears take several years to digest new sounds until being completely able to like / dislike something according to their personal tastes.
