Granted, the Springer/Jones genre of teen does indeed wear ho-wear. But the equivalent of past generations always did, too, that's no change. As someone pointed out, in 1986, there was at least an order of ho-magnitude difference between me in my acid washed jeans and someone in a see-through white lace top showing a black bra with "boy toy" belt a la Madonna. The whole "Teen Shock Horror Disaster!" tone of the NYT article is based on the notion that these were "nice" middle-class kids looking slutty, and the kind of slutty they were describing is not Jerry Springer slutty.
