.@Olivia_Rodrigo's swooning power ballad 'Drivers License' is the latest in a rich tradition of teenage melodrama in pop music that resonates with many listeners.

@mikaelwood explains
latimes.com/entertainment-…
Wood writes that teen melodrama has been expressed across multiple generations, from the crisp R&B of the Shirelles’ “Will You Love Me Tomorrow," to the bleary, trap-inflected sound of Tate McRae’s Top 40 hit “You Broke Me First.”
