teenyboppers
Preteen pop enthusiasts
Teenyboppers are young teenagers, typically girls, who follow the latest trends in pop music and fashion with intense enthusiasm.
The term emerged in the 1960s for fans of bands like the Beatles and has persisted for each generation's equivalent: The concert was packed with teenyboppers screaming for the boy band.
Often mildly dismissive, suggesting superficial or fleeting obsessions.
