During the 1970s, teen pop sometimes worked subversively, challenging the status quo it seemed to represent. Male pop stars such as David Cassidy were shown suggestively in popular magazines & female pop stars such as Cher had their own TV shows. Teen magazines, pin-ups, comics, films, & TV programs provided luscious visual stereo, promoting fashion styles, lingo, & dance moves, signaling individual identity but also community. 

The music provided a way for young people to believe they had something all their own, an authenticity experimenting with sexuality & social conduct, all dressed up in glitter & satin, blue jeans & boom boxes, torn fishnets & safety pins and, magically, their dreams. Cartoon pop & made-for-TV bands! Bubblegum pop! Glam! Hip hop! Hard rock & pop rock & stadium rock! Punk! Disco! Teen pop reinforced aspects of the counterculture it absorbed as the music kept playing-and playing back. 

Although it's very difficult to attain & maintain social progress & play it forward-there are so many tragedies-'70s Teen Pop examines how liberation & a true counterculture can be possible through music.
