That’s the next sentence, which makes the preceding sentiment seem even worse. Is the teen world the “world of Britney Spears”? That’s a ridiculous thing to think. Are teens talking to each other often talking about pop celebrities? No, saying so would be a cringe inducing generalisation.

No, saying so would be a cringe inducing generalisation. // Often they seem to be talking about celebrities, media is really celebrity focused. Every teen/pre-teen can do Fortnite dances because pop culture is such a massive force in youth culture.

- pbhjpbhj 7y agoIt doesn't differ from many adults (though common cultural focus seems even more important for teens to me), I'm just challenging the idea that teens _do_not_ focus on pop culture.
