For over 100 years, the phenomenon had evolved in gestational form. But the thing was born on October 12, 1944, when 30,000 frenzied, teenie-bopping girls descended upon Times Square to meet their new idol – Frank Sinatra! Writer Bruce Blevin described the scene as “a phenomenon of mass hysteria that is only seen two or three times in history.” It was The Teenager. In his book, Teenage, The Creation of Youth Culture, social commentator, Jon Savage chronicles this remarkable facet of modern culture, a paradigmatic anomaly very much unparalleled in prior human history.

In retrospect, it seems that this was a necessary element of life in the new industrialized, bureaucratized city of the modern. Men like J.M. Barrie and Oscar Wilde glorified the image of MyCams eternal youth, and the life of leisure always comes as the highest virtue to most if not all developing empires. Attending this new cultural milieu, came the obligatory dishonor of parents, generational severance, family disintegration, child labor laws, family fragmenting corporations, public schools, Jasmin Live sexual assertion on the part of girls, pop culture icons, immodesty, dating, and teen fornication. The connections in this social network are inextricably linked. I doubt that Almanzo Wilder’s sisters would have ever shown up at Camera Boys New York Times Square in 1875. Unless there had been 70 years of age-segregated, public school education between 1875 and 1944, Frank Sinatra would never have met 30,000 JasminLive screaming women on October 12th.
