Teen Pop Music

From N’Sync to Brittney Spears to Lil Bow Wow to the Spice Girls, Teen pop was great. I am not going to lie and say I didn’t enjoy listening to these artists as I grew up. It’s understandable that people view this teen pop era as the demise of popular music but it wasn’t. It was just teenagers doing what adults had been doing for years. There is not great different in the subject matter of the Jackson 5 than N’Sync. Michael Jackson even joined N’Sync on stage at the MTV Video music awards one year. Also I do not understand the argument about teen artists not writing their own songs. Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Dr. Dre have all had songs written for them. Ghost writing is apart of the music industry whether it is R&B, Rap or pop music. I also don’t understand the argument that teen artist where all about good looks. The majority of artist that become popular are good looking and attractive. I do not mean to be rude but ugly people just have it tough in the world. Teen pop did start industry cookie cutter-ism but as my dad says, “it is what it is.” Now I’m going to dust off my old Lil Bow Wow CD and vibe out for the rest of the night.
