Boy bands and teen music in general

I think an important point was lost in our discussion on popular music last Friday. Target audience, these bands and subsequently their record labels are targeting young children. Have you ever seen footage of a backstreet boys or in sync concert it is mostly twelve year old girls with their moms. To me this explains two points that were continuously brought up during the discussion, first relevance , this music can not stay relevant for more than a year or two because of the biology of its audience, two is money, with the target audience being so young these bands better make as much as they can as fast as they can.
