For all its localized and specific class connotations, Hardyism offers a glimpse of what a specific slice of teendom, from a specific set of years, thought was cool.
|

The Monkeys address a lot of that on Favourite Worst Nightmare by not being speakers for a generation but instead of that specific period between teendom and adulthood.
|

She and the album's producer, childhood friend Mica Levi (of the Jackie soundtrack and more), have been working on these tracks from teendom (see "Go Now") to the present day.
|

Not everyone in the audience will have shared Kayla's exact experience with social anxiety, but plenty of people will be able to relate to the film's frank depiction of early teendom.
|

|
|
Whether the latest incarnation of Spider-Man will work on the screen or not is an open question, but this return to the niche of teendom does help set the character apart from the other masked vigilantes.
|

While all of this is already a complex way to handle televised teendom in the digital age, Sex Ed still pushes one major boundary: It actually shows the much-texted-about "vagina" (it's technically a vulva) in question, in all its body-haired glory.
|
|
The numbers in the study may be pretty eye opening to those who don't have their own lame teens—rates for drinking, sex, drug use, and most of the (for lack of a better term) societal expectations of teendom have fallen across the board over the past few decades.

While the idea of "authenticity" has come to be increasingly distrusted in pop (it tends to mean old white dudes with beards and acoustic guitars harking back to Bob Dylan), hers is offered as proof that she is a real reflection of teendom, rather than a focus-grouped, committee-driven idea of it.
|
|
Yes, 39 may be a little young to publish a memoir, but her fan base is also about 39 now and frankly, it just feels nice that one of the pop stars from our teendom has delivered on the 20-year-old promise that they're just like us … only richer and prettier and with great, but maybe not greater, expectations.

The novel received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, which called the book "exquisitely rendered," and added, "If publishers could figure out a way to turn crack into a book, it'd read a lot like this."

The review added that "Eveline is a marvelously complex and tragic figure of disconnection, startlingly real and exposed at all times."Staff.

Nicky provided Webster with a sort of "brother figure", and the two got along famously. However, Nicky was gone from the show at the start of season six (Nemec would later reach greater fame as the star of Fox's Parker Lewis Can't Lose). Although no longer a regular when the series moved to first-run syndication, Papa Papadopolis continued to make a few guest appearances during the fifth and sixth seasons, as did Webster's friend Tommy and malt shop owner Benny. While the lead character's plots continued to mature somewhat with Webster's onset of pre-teendom, the same "cutesy factor" remained, thanks in part to Lewis' timing and portrayal.

" Essayist Steve Almond called Ferris "the most sophisticated teen movie [he] had ever seen," adding that while Hughes had made a lot of good movies, Ferris was the "one film [he] would consider true art, [the] only one that reaches toward the ecstatic power of teendom and, at the same time, exposes the true, piercing woe of that age." Almond also applauded Ruck's performance, going so far as saying he deserved the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor of 1986: "His performance is what elevates the film, allows it to assume the power of a modern parable." The New York Times reviewer Nina Darnton criticized Mia Sara's portrayal of Sloane for lacking "the specific detail that characterized the adolescent characters in Hughes's other films", asserting she "created a basically stable but forgettable character." Conversely, Darnton praised Ruck and Grey's performances: "The two people who grow in the movie—Cameron, played with humor and sensitivity by Alan Ruck, and Ferris's sister Jeanie, played with appropriate self-pity by Jennifer Grey—are the most authentic.
