Teenipop is the preferred fandom name for a subset of non-Top 40 bubblegum pop music acts and associated television shows, magazines, zines, and celebrity personalities circa 1998-2004. The teenipop fandom considered itself a movement of positivity and a rejection of male judgment, despite being heavily focused on male music acts and celebrities such as Dream Street, Aaron Carter, Jesse McCartney, and Stevie Brock.
One Bare Shoulder: " While the media en masse in the early years of the 21st century depicted large-scale images of burgeoning war in Iraq, terrorism on US soil, and teenage violence in the aftermath of the Columbine shootings, teenipop embodied colorful cheerfulness, successfully preserving a bubble of innocence. Teenipoppers are a breath of fresh air in the bleak history of America at the beginning of the Second Millennium, a pretty, happy underground subculture of teenaged girls who saw widespread fear around them and channeled it into optimism, actively choosing to desire nothing more than effervescent happiness, a few good friends, and the fleeting gaze of a clean-cut, hunky popstar."
