The genre is generally characterized by choreographed dancing, an emphasis on visual appeal, and repeated chorus lines, though it varies depending on the style of music. Singers in this genre often give off the appeal of "everyday" teens or the GirlNextDoor. Teen pop songs are themed around issues preteens and teens deal with such [[ComingOfAgeStory growing up]], fashion, {{friendship|Song}}, first loves, teenage rebellion, and self-image. They tend to lack much sexuality compared to pop aimed at adults.
