Teen Titans is the perfect Emo kid show

Here's why:

  • Emo kids like to pretend to be into all sorts of cool and different things like Anime.
  • Teen Titans is cool and Anime, but american enough to be absorbed easily without too much effort.
  • Emo kids like to identify with dark and emotional characters, like Raven from said Teen Titans.
  • Emo kids dig romantic sublots. Teen Titans features a subtle romantic and sweet subplot between Robin and StarFire.
  • Teen Titans features a theme song by cute Japanese girls of the group Puffy Ami Yumi. The song is catchy and kitsch. Emo kids love kitsch and wish they could write catchy songs.

For these reasons and more, Teen Titans is the perfect cartoon show for emo kids with long hair, one lip pierced, a zipped up hoody and Elvis Costello glasses.
