For other uses, see Teen idol (disambiguation). Boy band One Direction have become an international sensation during the 2010s.[citation needed] A teen idol is a celebrity with a large teenage fan-base. Teen idols are generally young but not necessarily teenaged.[1][2][3] Often teen idols are actors or musicians, like Demi Lovato and Niall Horan but some sports figures also have an appeal to teenagers.
