teenybopper

Young pop devotee

A teenybopper is a young teenager, typically a girl, who follows the latest trends in pop music and fashion with intense enthusiasm.

The term emerged in the 1960s and carries a mildly dismissive tone, suggesting someone whose tastes are shallow or fleeting: The concert was packed with teenyboppers screaming for the boy band.
