Tween Wave 

On June 8, 2011, South Park brought attention to this pandemic of "shitty" music which is plaguing our world.

"A new music genre for the era of 2009 - 2012 (tweens)... If you have kids now, they're probably listening to it" - South Park s15e07

It's most notable list of mutated infants include Justin Beiber, Jonas Brothers, and the entire cast of Glee (except Jane Lynch).

Signs you are listening to Tween Wave music: When all you can hear is someone ripping ass into the microphone over a drumbeat. More precisely when it sounds like shit is spilling out of the speakers and puddling on the floor.
"Did you know we're living in the Tween time?... I guess it's the peroid between 2009 and 2012..." - redneck 1

"der I'd heard that." - redneck 2

"So they got this feller down at the bowling alley who gets up on stage and shits his britches.. " - 1

"what fer?" - 2

"I don't know, but he gets up there and strums a geetar and starts loadin' up his britches up like it's goin' out of style... It's like some sort of 'britches holocaust'... he calls it Tween Wave" - 1

Thanks South Park!

tween wave 

The dominant musical genre between the years 2009 and 2012. It combines electronic beats with vocals that are so simple anyone could sing them. To most, this genre sounds like shit. Popular tween wave artists include Rebecca Black, Justin Bieber and, debatably, brokeNCYDE.
Hey, Josephine! Have you heard the new "tween wave" song?

tweenager 

the girls of a pre-teen variety (probably 10-12 or so) that dress like little whores because they like pop tarts like britney/avril/etc.

pre-this fashion statement, they were referred to as tweens because they were between childhood and teenager. teeny boppers was the old school term for said kids--at that time into elvis and bobby sox.
Annoying tweenagers get in my way at the mall.

tweenager 

a word that should not exist for these reasons
1. Its degrading to be judged on your age and nothing more.
2. You were all 10-13 once and no-one slapped an annoying label
on you.
3. It pisses of 10-13 year olds with intelligence
4. This is just common sense: If you're 13 or over, you're a teenager, if you're not you're a preteen
Tweenager is the worst word ever

Tween Wave 

Simply: it's popular music from 2009 to 2012. Coined by the creators of South Park in the episode "You're getting old." They are not making fun of a specific band, artist, or anything like that (maybe dubstep would be the best genre to describe tween wave). People are over-thinking this making it seem like they are ripping on Justin Bieber or something, but its a simple definition idiots.
I was just listening to a radio station that plays the most popular new songs, and that tween wave music sounds like total shit!
