[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting question. Pretty much all the teens I know listen to the same thing—rap/hip hop and top 40 type music.  There is also much less diversity in dress that when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. Most boys predominantly wear athletic wear, and girls wear a variation of what’s on trend (there was the UGG phase and the tiny shorts phase, etc.). There are few outliers like Goth kids. But we are deep in suburbia. Maybe it’s different in DC proper?[/quote]

This is my take as well.  There seems to be a lot more uniformity among teens now compared to the 80's.  And according to my teen, most teens don't really care that much about music either, which I find hard to believe.  When I was in HS, it was all about what type of music you listen to.  People used to wear pins with band names on their jacket, have stickers, write band names on their notebooks, etc.  My daughter says no one does that now, and no one really cares what music other kids listen to.
