Let's cut the crap: Teens are like adults, except way less likely to ruin the economy/American democracy and way more likely to be on the cutting edge of what's cool in music, style, etc.
So in order to get a better grasp of WHO teens think are cool, I asked my teen followers on Twitter to tell me who their favorite celebrities are (ones they either look up to or think are cool) — and also the ones they aren't big fans of!
