Point of intrigue - Bill Haley once admitted to knowing that teenagers were the best target for his type of music. His style was meant for people to dance to.
Random thought - In a sense, Duran Duran can be viewed the same way. Their market was for a matching audience that grew with them. Every member of Duran Duran desired the want to dance to their songs. These notions have lasted for years and for following generations.
