Yes, and that shift away from teen culture wasn’t accidental. Streaming and social media collapsed everything into the same space. Teens and adults are now consuming the same content on the same platforms, driven by the same algorithms. And those algorithms are not built for niche audiences, they are built for scale, retention, and ad revenue. So instead of developing teen-specific stars, as we saw in the 90s and early 2000s, when MTV actively segmented youth audiences through shows like TRL, and the heavy rotation of teen pop, creating space for teen culture to develop separately from adults, the industry now pushes whatever can perform across all age groups. That is why “teen music” faded and “viral music” replaced it. That is also why it feels like teen culture disappeared. It didn’t disappear. It just lost its boundaries. Teen culture no longer develops on its own. It gets absorbed into the mainstream in real time.
