teenage catch copy drama

[Eugin]

Hello Everybody!!!
hope you are having fun in this weekend!!

I would like someone to explain me what a "teenage catch copy drama" is...

It has appeared in the Spanish-English forum and nobody has answered yet and now I am courious to know as well...
I have made a Google search but found nothing that could help me to get an idea of what that is....

I don`t have more context, just: "...like something out of a teenage catch copy drama".

Thanks a lot, friends!!!
Cheers!!

Could they have meant "Copy cat" drama? I have never heard of the phrase "teenage catch copy drama" before. But a "copy cat drama" *could* be referring to a crime genre.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Check this Google search:
If the first few pages of links are typical, teenage catch copy drama is probably referring to the kind of stories told in Japanese teen-magazines. Naturally, I have no idea what these might be - but if they are anything like their UK equivalent, they are simple, graphic and lurid.

On the other hand, this could be complete and utter rubbish.

"catch copy" would seem to be Japanese-English (what is called wasei Eigo, or English made in Japan) for "tagline" or "promotional text". I think the whole subject of Japanese borrowing and remaking of English words is fascinating, but I don't know specifically what a teenage catch copy drama would be.
