Who cares what teens want?

They don't have any money.

Is that why no one cares what I want? Because I don't have any money? ๐Ÿค”

Money is the old economy. Teens have something that adults don't have that is infinitely more valuable than money: attention. This is how, despite having no money, teen taste and culture is so over-represented today.

They also will become adults. So hook them now. They might also have access to their parents' money.

I genuinely think that money is no longer the goal of the top economic echelon. Techniques for controlling how people spend money can be generalized into controlling all their behaviour; total power.
