Teenage formally defined as the ages between 13 and 19, is the most turbulent period in human life. It is when their body undergoes transformational changes. It is also the time when they become their own man or woman. It involves experimenting with a bunch of different things till they figure out their clearcut choices. It is why they experiment with fashion, rebel against their parents, and try adrenaline-pumping experiences.

Teenagers across time have not been interested in the same things. Teenagers today do not enjoy the same things that were consumed by teenagers in the latter half of the last century. Well, today's teenagers call the latter group boomers. Changes in technology, economic landscape, and other cultural changes have deeply influenced the differences.

Teenagers today need not hang around jukeboxes. They have Spotify with millions of songs. Teenagers today do not have to wait for their parents to drive them around. They have Uber and Lyft to ferry them around. They do not have to use the land phone in the living room to talk to their friends. They have iMessage, Instagram, Snapchat, and WhatsApp to communicate with multimedia experience, not just voice.

So every piece of furniture in their room that will be in the background of their pictures needs to be a statement, not just functional.
