Why do some people generalize all teenagers?

Question

For liking soulja boy,mainstream,and so on.I don't think every teenager,actually i know not all teenagers like hip hop these days and like hip hop from the 90's.

Answer 1

Okay.

Answer 2

Because the majority does like Soulja Boy

If the majority that likes the underground showed enough support like Soulja Boy's fans do for him, then maybe there wouldn't be this underground/mainstream bias developing.

Also, don't use the specific to prove the general.  

Answer 3

because of the media and tv shows, etc...

Answer 4

Yo man I understand what your saying. It's just that the majority of teenagers act stupid, and even though there are a few intelligent ones out there, they don't stand out, and don't outweigh the majority of stupid teenagers out there, in their music, and more importantly their actions. When people hear "teenagers" most will think "stupid, immature, and a burden to be around." I'm one of the few, and I can't stand most of what teenagers do and act like now a days. But when it comes to Hip Hop, I only look for the underground, because I find that mainstream stuff shallow with a pointless meaning behind the lyrics of the music.
