If You Can't Match The Scene To The Teen Movie, Stop Watching Movies

Teen movies helped us all come of age. They gave us dreams, things to look forward to in the theatre, and some cool catchphrases. Though they've always been around, teen movies really cropped up in the 80s and never stopped shaping young minds. From the makeover film to films about teens who have powers, or discover that they're actually royalty, we've all wanted to be those cool kids whose lives seem put together. Plus, many teen movies have killer soundtracks that used our favorite hits and made us love them again, or introduced us to cool new music that defined us as we grew up.

Some teen movies also showed us that not everyone is a rebel, that some teenagers are just nerds trying to find their way through life. We learn based on the mistakes they make so we can avoid making them in real life.
