teenagers

The genesis of rock music festivals lay in the troubled emergence of teenagers as a distinctive group and economic force in the second half of the 20th century. This voluble market, where the new and different has high currency, is keenly attuned to changes in technology and shifts in fashion. Youth culture has always been sharp-eared, quick-stepping and internationalist at heart. Teenagers are natural networkers, knitting together communities of interest nationally and internationally.
