What was a difference between teenagers in the postwar and earlier times?

Teen culture

During the decades following World War II, teenagers began cultivating a distinct culture. While teens had existed before, the term itself developed during this era, and with it came the notion that teenagers differed significantly from both kids and adults. Teenage culture was most visible in the ways that teenagers spent their money and interacted with their peers, often in opposition to the prevailing values of the adult population.
