What began as a spin-off of Beavis and Butt-Head would come to epitomize late Gen X slash early Millennial culture. Daria Morgendorffer gave a voice to the cynical, disaffected teens of the late ‘90s and early 2000s—a time when it was cool not to care. Attitudes among young people have obviously shifted a lot since then. But while the youth of today differ from their ‘90s counterparts in many ways, they still face a lot of the same struggles and anxieties that come with adolescence. And what’s more anxiety-including than the emotions that come with a first crush—especially one that’s dead on arrival? Daria’s doomed crush on Trent Lane, her best friend’s older brother, was a major recurring plot point early in the show’s run. Ironically, the thing that ultimately makes this storyline worthwhile is Daria’s ability to accept that a real romance with Trent was simply never possible—for more reasons than just the SUPER OBVIOUS one.
