Etymology

The term 'tween' is a blend of 'between' and 'teen,' referring specifically to the age group that is between childhood and the teenage years. Its usage began to gain popularity in the late 1980s and 1990s as marketers started to identify this distinct demographic. The concept of 'tweens' was further popularized by media targeting young audiences, including television shows and movies tailored to this age group. The tween market has since expanded, encompassing not only children's books and toys but also fashion, music, and technology, with marketing strategies increasingly geared towards this unique phase of life. The rise of social media has also played a significant role in shaping the interests and influences of tweens, creating a culture that is more aware and connected than ever before.
