*** I completely loathed it in senior English because I couldn't get past what I saw as Holden just being a [[EmoTeen whiny little bitch]] that I wanted to slap upside the head. It wasn't until I re-read it as an adult that I could appreciate the other aspects of the story, even if I ''still'' wanted to smack Holden senseless. By the time I hit adolescence, disaffected teenage characters were so much the norm that I had a hard time sympathizing with him, because I'd already read so many stories about troubled teenagers. For me it was definitely a case of SeinfeldIsUnfunny, and Holden's pseudo-intellectualism started to really grate after the first chapter.

** The Gaang was given an umbrella by a man that was told by a FortuneTeller that it will rain. Since Sokka is caught up in ArbitrarySkepticism, Katara and Aang are the only ones using it come rainfall.

* {{Wangst}}: Nigh-on universal in the 2000s and early-2010s when {{Emo Teen}}s were among pop culture's favorite punching bags, but nowadays seen as incredibly disrespectful once people began reckoning with the general lack of empathy towards people with legitimate emotional trauma and behavioral issues that riddled the 2000s. However, this trope still occasionally sees use, mainly because it can also show how a character will overreact.

* ''Film/HaroldAndMaude'' - An EmoTeen who attends funerals and commits mock-suicide for fun gets into a relationship with a 79-year-old woman who is basically the septuagenarian equivalent of the ManicPixieDreamGirl. [[spoiler:She kills herself for real in the end, but he still stops faking his suicides and starts actually living life.]]

* Since Donald and Della have their well-used room in the mansion, and Scrooge is mentioned but not their parents, it's pretty clear the twins have already been orphaned and taken in by Scrooge by that Christmas, which may be the source of Donald's EmoTeen phase.

2. MemeticLoser

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': Gerold "Darkstar" Dayne is regarded this way by a good portion of the fanbase. This stems partially from his rather cheesy name, appearance and persona, with lines like "[[{{Narm}} I am of the night]]" seen as trying too hard to invoke EvilIsCool, crossed with the fact that for all his boasting and buildup as a badass the only thing of note he does is [[spoiler:try to kill Myrcella Baratheon (an unarmed and defenceless little girl) a task which he fails at.]] This has led to his nickname "[[FanNickname Dorkstar]]" and general perception as a whiny, pretentious EmoTeen and incompetent poseur with an over-inflated opinion of himself. he inevitable comparison is to the Red Viper, who is actually a badass.

* At the end when Mr. Freeman [[ItMakesSenseInContext dares people to leave a comment]], Weasel obliges by unrolling a piece of paper and starts reading off a fairly typical Youtube comment [[SophisticatedAsHell in a Medieval English accent as if he was a Squire reading off a royal decree]].
--> '''Weasel (In a Regal Tone of Speaking)''' My comment [[PunctuatedForEmphasis is. As. Follows]]. Christ what a bunch of insipid winging. If I wanted to listen to the [[StrawNihilist nihilistic rantings]] of a [[EmoTeen mid-2000s Hot Topic genetic disaster]], I would go back in time and hang out with the dink from High School who talked non-stop about how [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] was just misunderstood. [[MoodWhiplash Cool animation though]].

* "Emo Dragon Poetry"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A FanNickname of the main theme of the game, ''Lost in Thoughts All Alone'' (''if~hitori omou''), which has been described by a few fans as "sounding like an EmoTeen's poetry" [[spoiler:even though it was actually written by an [[BuffySpeak ancient dragon god-thing]]]]. If one reads (not sings) aloud the lyrics of the English version, or the translation of the Japanese lyrics, it's very apparent.[[/labelnote]]

* ''VideoGame/ForumWarz'' is an RPG where you play a troll -- an [[EmoTeen Emo Kid]], a [[AttentionWhore Camwhore]], a [[TheCracker Hacker]], a Troll, or a Perma-{{Noob}}. People contact you to bring down forums by "fighting" forum threads, derailing them, and posting nonsense until you "pwn" the entire forum.

* "[[https://fire-emblem-heroes.com/en/manga/part/index.html#part210929 Children of Darkness]]" has both Robins meeting both versions of Fallen Morgan thinking they're the perky normal versions of their children. These Morgans chastise them for this and reaffirm their support for Grima. The Robins' response? Give hugs and headpats all while thinking they're just going through an EmoTeen phase. Chrom is less than amused to say the least.

2. Manga/{{Offbeat}}

Tory Blake is [[EmoTeen fifteen]], a [[TeenGenius genius]], and [[BrilliantButLazy bored]]. He spends his time breezing through school, doodling, worrying his mother, playing 90s computer games with his college-aged neighbor, and documenting everything that happens in his life in worrying detail. One night, something happens that promises to alleviate his boredom: a mysterious boy, Colin Stephens, and his guardian move into the duplex next door. Over the next year, Tory becomes increasingly obsessed with [[SeekerArchetype figuring out the mystery]] behind his neighbors' bizarre actions, to the point of transferring schools to [[StalkerWithACrush get closer to]] Colin. What secrets could Colin be hiding? What is the Gaia Project, and how does Colin fit into it?
