1. "I'm looking for fun!" This guy is NOT looking for a serious relationship. He just told you so. He's not lying. H

2. "My life is under construction. Bring your hard hat." He doesn't know who he is. Run.

The Top 6 Most Annoying Teen Pop Stars -- Other Than Justin Bieber
Here's an incredibly sarcastic (but funny) list from SFWeekly.com teen idols that may be just as annoying as present-day Justin Bieber. Here are their six...have one to add?

6. Tiffany, "I Think We're Alone Now"
"Tiff's weird crazy chicken dance and self-satisfied facial expressions here make us quite irrationally angry."



5. Avril Lavigne "Sk8ter Boi"
"And this was the moment that skateboarders the world over contemplated throwing their decks out of the nearest window and quitting the sport forever."



4. Hanson "Mmm Bop"
"People with mouths full of marbles have made more sense."



3. Jonas Brothers, "Burnin' Up"
"Dear Jonas Brothers, it bothers us on a really deep level that you got David Carradine to be in your video."



2. Miley Cyrus, "Can't Be Tamed"
"Miley Cyrus might be the most obnoxious and arrogant teen on the face of the planet."



1. Menudo, "Hold Me"
"Decades before Bieber took Kim Kardashian's hand and went for a random paddle, Menudo were thrusting around hormonally, trying to impress the older ladies, too. That's why they always kept a boy in a yellow cropped-top and matching headband around -- an attempt to look more masculine."
