Teenage Trend Haters and Mass Girl Hysteria

It looks like I'm not the only one to get caught up in the Twilight/girl fad craze lately.

Sadie Stein over at Jezebel has a wonderful essay on teenage trends and their teenage trend haters:

"But I don't think it's often said that mass hysteria and anti-establishment posing are two sides of the same coin, and to a teen it can sometimes feel like there is not much of an alternative. It can be hard to enjoy something without joining in, hard to reject it without making a self-conscious statement."

Check it out -- it's well worth a look at what we can expect as our young girls grow older and, hopefully, wiser.
