Well who's to say teens need to watch things focused to their age group? As I mentioned in an earlier post, I grew up on Jurassic Park and Ghostbusters. I'm fairly certain those weren't directed to any age group I was ever in before this point in my life. So yeah... By buying tickets and merch to these new emo-monster trash, they're only asking for more. So the audience is just as much the problem when you think about it.
