Editorial Reviews
Review
Booklist : "As in many other Greenhaven series, such as Opposing Viewpoints, these volumes in the new Examining Pop Culture series includes excerpts from a range of periodicals and primary sources. Both titles, with their sophisticated language and bibliographies of mostly scholarly resources, are best suited for older, academically advanced teens. A fine new series to spark well-informed discussions about lifestyle and current issues."

Book Description
After the Great Depression the notion of a distinct teenage stage of life began to emerge in the United States. Popular culture has been central in shaping and reflecting teen culture in music, television, film, fashion, cyberspace, and other venues. This anthology examines teens as consumers and producers of popular culture to better understand the complex connections between popular culture and the American teenager.
