My daughter had posters of Kurt Cobain and David Bowie on the walls and one on the ceiling. Ha She also had t shirts with Bowie stuff on it. Most of his stuff she bought at his concert that she was lucky to attend thanks to her mom LOL

I dated this one guy who saw her posters and said i shouldn’t allow her to have Cobains stuff because he is bad role model for teenage girls. What a jerk. She didn’t have his poster because he was her role model!

I don’t know if it’s always a crush either, crush implies that it’s romantic, sometimes it’s just something else, like just being a big fan. But yes it’s somewhat developmental. Very common amongst teenagers to be totally fascinated and often enamored with celebrities, especially actors and musicians.
