adj.

Teenage trash is a thing such as a book, magazine, movie, comic book or music that a teenager would enjoy, but it is not of high quality. However, it is generally not a insult. It is a way of describing and categorizing items.

A person would tend to allow themselves to be entertained by teenage trash when they are tired or in the mood for something lighthearted and uncomplicated. They are by no means serious. The plot will be easy to follow, the characters stereotypical and the ending happy. The phrase teenage trash tends to refer to something a female would enjoy more than a male but this is not always the case. However, most chick flicks are teenage trash and nearly all girl magazines are teenage trash.

Miley Cyrus is a singer whose music a teenager would enjoy but the quality is not excellent. You would not expect someone of education and knowledge to be listening to Miley Cyrus for long. She's the Man is a wonderful movie (and I can recite it, as well as sing along with the soundtrack), but it is teenage trash. Twilight could be placed as teenage trash. American Pie an example of masculine teenage trash; I don't know many girls who would willingly watch any of those movies.
