From the 1920s to the mid-1950s, popular music oriented to teenagers was common with Rudy Vallée, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley becoming iconic teen idols. The late 1950s and 1960s was cited to have been a golden era for male teen idols like Paul Anka, Fabian, and Frankie Avalon. The Beatles[12] overtook the pop scene for teens by the mid-1960s with Beatlemania and the British Invasion.[11] Also in the 1960s, surf pop was popular amongst teenagers as the Beach Boys flourished in the Californian teenage culture and sound.[13] The early 1970s included bubblegum pop bands for teens such as the Jackson 5, the Cowsills, and the Osmonds[2][14]. The pop subgenre was conceived in its contemporary form during the late 1980s and 1990s; artists such as Tiffany, New Kids on the Block[15], and Debbie Gibson[11] were in the forefront of the late 1980s wave of teen pop, while the late 1990s and early 2000s[16] was cited as another golden age for successful teen pop acts like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, the Spice Girls, Hanson, and the Backstreet Boys.[1]
By the mid-2000s, teen pop, as a cohesive movement in pop music, faded in popularity with events such as the hiatus of NSYNC and the semi-retirement of Britney Spears.[17] However, a new round of successful teen performers associated with other popular music genres at the time, such as R&B and pop punk, gained prominence. These performers included Avril Lavigne[18], Rihanna, and Chris Brown. Lamb says that they indicate pop music aimed directly at teenage fans was "alive and well".[1] There were also popular teen artists that crossed over from Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, which included Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, the Jonas Brothers, and the Naked Brothers Band.[19] In the 2010s, teen pop further regained in popularity with artists and bands such as Justin Bieber, One Direction, Billie Eilish, and 5 Seconds of Summer.[20]
