He really wasn't. But in the 1950s, the era when Rock Music was first becoming popular, it was generally associated with teenagers. Although Dick Clark was an adult in his 30s, he knew and understood teenaged music and could relate very comfortably with young people. In addition, he was baby-faced and continued to look young for many years, well into his 60s. Thus, because of his love of teen music and his youthful appearance, he was jokingly called "the world's oldest teenager."
