el quinceañero, la quinceañera - specifically, a 15-year-old, or, more generally, a teenager

Spanish example: El cine sobre quinceañeros no es exclusivo de los yanquis.

English example: Teen movies aren't exclusively an American phenomenon. (Literally, cinema about teenagers is not exclusively of the Yankees.)
