By the time of The OC, One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl a ”teenager” was basically the equivalent of a “cowboy” or a “spaceman” or an ”orc”, a wholly fictional construct with no basis in reality.
Nobody cared any more whether a “teenager” was played by an actual teen or a horse or somebody in their late 80s, as long as they performed it all between quotation marks and respected the formal boundaries of the genre. The OC, in particular, pointed towards a new teenage hegemony where the heroes were nerds and the cool kids were to be pitied.
