WHAT ARE TEENIES/TEENY BOPPERS?
Teeny Bopper: “A young teenager, typically a girl, who keenly follows the latest fashions in clothes and pop music.”

^ Google’s definition, but we are not following this definition due to it being sort of misogynistic, sorry. Also, there’s nothing wrong with liking popular things, feel free to enjoy what you like.

Teenies are usually people who only like a band because they think the band members are hot. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with finding Silverchair attractive (it is clear that they are!) It only becomes an issue when that is the only reason why you like the band.

There are two groups of teenies:

Elder teenies

Silverchair fans who have been fans since the 90s and were most likely teenies in the 90s as well.

Modern day teenies

A new generation of Silverchair “fans” who only like to sexualize the band members and are only obsessed with Frogstomp & Freak Show. (Nothing wrong with liking those albums, but some of these people hate Silverchair’s non-grunge music for some reason.) Some of these people also do not appreciate the band’s music... just their handsome faces!

*** DISCLAIMER ***

New fan ≠ teenie. Everyone has been a new fan at one point in their Silverchair journey. Just because you are a new fan does not mean you are not welcome. We are anti-teenie, not anti-new fans! As long as you do not display teenie behaviors, you are welcome in the community.
