The Teen Choice Awards is known for regularly hosting a solid roster of teen icons.  This year's awards ceremony however, turned a number of writers in the blogoshere into curmudgeons, all of them wondering if kids do in fact grow up too quickly.

In a recent post, StilettoREVOLT asked its readers just what Britney Spears was doing winning a "Lifetime Achievement Award" (in the cumbersome form of a surfboard) at the ripe old age of 27, why Robert Pattison, the Friendly Vampire, was allowed to utter creepisms to his teenage audience ("The hottest hotties, the hottest teens, are the Twilight fans,") and why, just WHY was 16-year old Miley Cyrus allowed to go pole dancing during her performance? Wasn't her dad somewhere in the audience? Anyway, these shenanigans sure do spark some late 90's-early 00's nostalgia...back when young pop singers waited until they were at least 18 to dance down and dirty, Britney Spears still washed her hair, and vampire tales still belonged to Ann Rice novels and Nosferatu. Those were the days... [Daily Swarm via StilettoREVOLT]
