Subject: what were teens called in the 80's?
Can anybody tell me any of the labels given to teenagers during the 80's, before the Generation X label was invented? I can think of the MTV Generation, Latchkey Kids, TV Babies...I would really like to know of any official labels given at that time.

I heard the word "Truant" a lot, and also the "ME Generation".
