53	* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', several of the witches, their barriers and imagery are rather creepy. However, veteran Puella Magi enter barriers day after day, and are unfazed by this. A good example is Yachiyo Nanami, a veteran from ''VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory''. Special shoutout goes to [[EmoTeen Homura]], who - after Sayaka and Madoka cowered before the sight of [[spoiler: Mami dying gruesomely]], - defeats Charlotte like she was just another conquered castle. Explanation: [[spoiler: Homura is a TimeMaster, who's SaveScumming here]].

61	* Kate from ''Series/{{Lost}}'' started out as one of the main characters in the ensemble, a fairly solid example of a TroubledButCute girl. However, as the series entered its second season, she became increasingly obsessed with Jack. Her attempts to rescue/ingratiate herself with/impress or otherwise have contact with him have led to an ever-growing list of problems that are completely her making -- she seems to think she's back on a junior high playground (albeit one where she gets to have sex with Sawyer, the JerkWithAHeartOfGold, before going back to see what Jack is up to), not trapped on an island with a group of psychotics and a bunch of EpilepticTrees.
62	** This is taken to new lows in the Season 5 finale, when [[spoiler: a group of Losties ends up in the past thanks to some pesky time-travel, and they have to decide whether or not to detonate a nuclear bomb, whose explosion might change the future and prevent everything they've gone through to happen. Jack finally admits that his main reason to do it is that he lost Kate's love. Juliet's reason is that she noticed Sawyer, her current love interest, ''looking at Kate in a certain way''. Kate and Sawyer go along with the plan]]. Sadly, Miles and Hurley reluctantly agree instead of pumping these [[EmoTeen emo douchebags]] full of hot lead.

83	* "[[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.

87	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?

98	* ''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.

102	* "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]]

106	* 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.

113	* JerkassWoobie:
114	** Kevin. He's a lazy, irresponsible, and totally irreverent slacker. But his poor performance in school is implied to be caused by ChildhoodBrainDamage from a near-fatal drowning incident. An angsty EmoTeen, he's usually on very poor terms with his father and dislikes him, but is always desperately craving for his affection.

This is the woman who [[YouKilledMyFather killed your mother and father,]] turned you into a frog, ruined your kingdom and is now trying to take over the world. A little more resentment would not go amiss."''

131	* AdaptationalHeroism: Insofar as [[GreyAndGrayMorality the Dawnbringers can represent "heroism"]], but among the bright, vaguely angelic warriors of order include Vex (a self-centered and perpetually bored EmoTeen), and Rhaast (a destructive OmnicidalManiac).

134
135	* ''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.]]
136
137	7. AudienceAlienatingPremise/{{Film}}
138
139	* ''Film/HaroldAndMaude'' is... a tricky sell. The film is a romantic BlackComedy, following the brewing friendship and romantic relationship between a proto-EmoTeen who [[SuicideAsComedy habitually fakes his own suicide in elaborate ways]] and a feisty ManicPixieDreamGirl who happens to be [[MayDecemberRomance 79 years old]]. Upon release in 1971, it received middling reviews and bombed commercially, and it took at least a decade [[VindicatedByHistory for audiences and critics alike to reevaluate the film as an underrated classic of black, existentialist comedy]], finally making a profit in 1983.
140
141	8. Funny/{{Changed}}
142
143	** There's an EmoTeen shark who immediately notices Colin, but ''can't be assed'' to give chase. WordOfGod describes him as [[GrowingUpSucks unhappy]] he's changing into an adolescent.
144
145	9-10. VisualNovel/LoversOfAether
146
147	* EmoTeen: This version of Forsburn, complete with angsty poetry about how "Dads just don't get it".
148	* HighSchoolAU: The setting of the story is Aether Academy, which all of the main ''Rivals'' characters attend as students, with more minor characters playing other students or instructors. It's very clearly a parody of the trope, however, with the characters (themselves [[CharacterExaggeration exaggerated]]) fitting neatly into clichés the setting is known for (Forsburn is an EmoTeen who writes moody poetry, Maypul goes from mere confident self-appointed defender of her home to an AcademicAlphaBitch, Wrastor is an arrogant BigManOnCampus, etc.) and in general playing all these clichés up to eleven for a laugh.

150	11. Headscratchers/TheCatcherInTheRye
151
152	*** 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 OnceOriginalNowCommon, and Holden's pseudo-intellectualism started to really grate after the first chapter.

155
156	* ''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.

159
160	* {{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.

169	1. Characters/Barbie2023
170
171	* EmoTeen: She's a teen who dresses in black for most of the film and doesn’t respond to her mother’s affection. She also apparently believes that people are only hiding that they are only darkness when [[spoiler: her mother admits to having thoughts of death that were affecting Barbie.]]
172
173	2-3. Characters/{{Lopoddity}}
174
175	* EmoTeen: Ponyville's resident emo kid. She renamed herself Midnight Abyss (to reflect the darkness she feels in her soul) and would dye her coat black if her mums would allow her. Her moms don’t really take this attitude seriously, to her great annoyance.
176	* EveryoneHasStandards: PlayedForLaughs, but WordOfGod said this on shipping Morning with anypony:
177	--> ''Lopoddity:'' Ya’ll suggested pairing her with Cupcake, Moondancer, Rosemary, Chakra Blossom, Lucy (Lucifer), Truffles, Magnolia May, Skyla, PB Sandwich, Jam Sandwich, Pandora, Bruce, Artemis....like geez as though inflicting this [[SarcasmMode little ball of sweet smiling sunshine and rainbows]] on ''anyone'' wouldn’t be a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
178	** More thoroughly demonstrated when people started shipping Morning with her pet zombie. This culminated with Lop outright stating why ILoveTheDead is both horribly disturbing and not useful for any sexual benefit before [[BrainBleach declaring her intent to dump bleach on her brain.]] Full details [[http://lopoddityart.tumblr.com/post/151583171217/do-you-think-we-could-see-some-of-bertram-um/embed here]].
179	** On a lighter note, she may be an EmoTeen but she does love her mothers and is fond of her zombie assistant Bertram, the first corpse she ever managed to resurrect. And despite the fact it didn't end in romance, she enjoyed her date with PB and he is one of the few ponies she won't make a voodoo doll for.

183	* EmoTeen: Carrie is described as emo, though she has a lot of {{goth}} elements like her occult room decorations and loving the smell of death. One time she even described herself as ''[[PunkRock punk-rock]]''.

185	5. Funny/OKKOLetsBeHeroes
186
187	* T.K.O.'s personality is something of an EmoTeen {{Goth}}, and when he's not being a KnightOfCerebus, he has some downright ''hilarious'' lines. His crowning jewel probably being this one:

190
191	* 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]].
192	--> '''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]].
193
194	7. MemeticLoser
195
196	* ''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.
197
198	8. Funny/ParadoxSpace
199
200	* Eridan [[EmoTeen tries]] to express his loneliness:
201	-->'''Eridan:''' What do you do if you've got a song in your heart but no one to share it with, huh?
202	-->'''Gamzee:''' I play with my horns, bro!

208	10. MeaningfulName/VideoGames
209
210	* ''VideoGame/{{Rakuen}}'':
211	** Yami's name means "darkness" or "shadow", fitting his EmoTeen appearance and attitude and how he's most often seen at night when all the lights are out. [[spoiler:It also foreshadows how he's the dark manifestations of the Boy himself.]]
