The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Describe the music of the so-called "teen idols". Name two of these artists.
Two of these teen idols are Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber
What image did they present to the public?
They represent a fabricated image, the public image elaborated by record companies and TV showbusiness created to exploit youngsters who spend millions of dollars in music, merchandising, and concerts.
In what way were they different from the classic rockers of the fifties?
These new teen idols are so different from the idols in the 1950s in that the new ones are the product of marketing and advertising. It is about fashion, who has the prettiest face, the best looks. They are the product of mass media and some social media sites, They are not authentic.
Idols in the 1950s were more authentic, they were not a pretty face, most of them were not handsome, except for Elvis Presley. But what about Jerry Lee lewis? Or Little Richard? Or Chuck Berry? Or Fats Domino?
These idols were more authentic in a time where marketing and advertising were incipient tools for promoting an artist.
