He then set out to hijack wrestling shows so he could rant about love, the world and the unfairness of the American healthcare system to the audiences, beginning the Age Of The Fall to help him in this quest.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': In [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbBeeDay "Bee Day"]], Candace takes a "teen identity" magazine quiz, and to her surprise, she gets labeled as an emo teen. With Stacy's help, she adopts an emo look (dark clothes, skinny jeans, black hair with a pink stripe, and round glasses) and gives up on her quest to bust her brothers because nobody understands her, instead writing melancholy poetry. At the end of the episode, it's revealed she filled out the magazine quiz wrong and her identity is really "Busting and Crush Obsessed Older Sister Type Who Can't Do Math."
-->'''Stacy''': Okay, to the Internet. (starts typing on her laptop) Here we go. Emos believe everyone's against them.
-->'''Candace''': How can you say that to me?
-->'''Stacy''': They're highly sensitive and drama queens.
-->'''Candace''': No, I'm ''[[IResembleThatRemark not]]''!
-->'''Stacy''': You know, as teenage sub-cultures go, it's not so bad.
