The invention of the teenager

Lets crack open the surprisingly recent invention of the “teenager.” It turns out that before the 1940s we had children who grew into adults—minus all the angst. Thanks to major social and economic shifts, the “teenager” was born. Consumerism quickly spotted this new market and began shaping teen culture through music, fashion, and must-have products. A bite-sized listen for anyone trying to make sense of the teenage chaos.
