Teen People (April 2006)

This magazine had an interesting mix of articles. This issue featured an interview with Nick Lachey but also had interviews with teens who were trying to change the world. There are fashion hints and tips as well as a fair number of ads. I really liked the two page spread on “The best bands from before you were born” which includes Queen, The Jackson 5 and Rolling Stones.

Teen People seems to be pretty balanced between fun stuff, fashion, serious articles and star power. I have to say that I preferred Teen People to People, which often seems more vapid or reactionary. I would probably have this as a staple teen mag but I’m sure the level of the content does shift throughout the year.
