Some notes on Observer Music Monthly TEEN ISSUE!!!
yawn here he goes - tee hee!
It was a very interesting read and made me think - the whole obsession with all things 'teen' is not about the amazing contributions of the young individual no matter how many doe eyed posh boy models you can get to pose for in a 'this is all about me and my indivuduality' swagger, but just about the current marketing trends and NOTHING else, and it never really was was it? Those people in that whole feature matter less in the end than everyone over 20 and therefore dead - its just actors replacing actors in some sort of Dr who role that somehow keeps rolling endlessly on so long as there are people no longer that age desperate enough to live their past through the eyes of the furture and the clothes of yesteryear.
Quite interesting when you think about it isn't it? It was quite patronising overall however and you get the impression it was edited by Matthew Fort's children.
Question: based on all these assumptions, can you be a teen in your late 20s?
