Teen Pop is a subgenre of {{pop}} music aimed at youths (primarily adolescent girls). Despite its name, it isn't exclusively aimed at teenagers. A lot of it is aimed at preteens/tweens (10-12 year olds). The genre is also not inherently pop as RAndB, HipHop, PopPunk, CountryMusic, EmoMusic, and {{Rock}} are also staples of the genre. {{Boy Band}}s and {{Girl Group}}s are band sub-trope of this genre.

The genre as it currently is began in the late 1980s and codified in the late 1990s, but it has its origins in mid-20th century teen idols (also known as "bubblegum pop"/"bubblegum rock") such as Music/FrankSinatra, Paul Anka, Lulu, and Frankie Avalon. It continued into the later 1970s with singers like Music/TheOsmonds and Music/ThePartridgeFamily, but it really began to change during the 1980s.

Teen Pop is a subgenre of {{pop}} music aimed at youths (primarily adolescent girls). Despite its name, it isn't exclusively aimed at teenagers. A lot of it is aimed at preteens/tweens (10-12 year olds). The genre is also not inherently pop as RAndB, HipHop, PopPunk, CountryMusic, EmoMusic, and {{Rock}} are also staples of the genre. {{Boy Band}}s and {{Girl Group}}s are band sub-trope of this genre.

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.

The genre as it currently is began in the late 1980s and codified in the late 1990s, but it has its origins in mid-20th century teen idols (also known as "bubblegum pop"/"bubblegum rock") such as Music/FrankSinatra, Paul Anka, Lulu, and Frankie Avalon. It continued into the later 1970s with singers like Music/TheOsmonds and Music/ThePartridgeFamily, but it really began to change during the 1980s.

The first wave of teen pop as we know it didn't appear until the 1980s with bands and singers such as Music/{{Menudo}}, Music/NewEdition, Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock, Debbie Gibson, and Tiffany. It hit its "golden age" in the 1990s with the rise of Music/{{NSYNC}}, Music/BackstreetBoys, Music/SpiceGirls, Music/BritneySpears, and Music/ChristinaAguilera.

Most teen pop singers are females in their teens, though males (especially when it comes to {{boy band}}s) and older women exist in the genre too. Being a teen pop-star is a fleeting thing. As teens are drawn to those who are similar to their own age and many artists wish to expand outside of the demographic, artists outgrow the genre by their mid-20s and get replaced by new artists. That point is when many artists break out of their ContractualPurity and become HotterAndSexier.

SuperTrope to BoyBand and GirlGroup. Related to ChildPopStar, TeenIdol, and IdolSinger.
