❤❤ DARIA ❤❤
Daria is an American animated television series created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn for MTV. The series focuses on Daria Morgendorffer, a smart, acerbic, and somewhat misanthropic teenage girl who observes the world around her. The show is set in the fictional suburban American town of Lawndale and is a satire of high school life, and full of allusions to and criticisms of popular culture and social classes.
Daria Morgendorffer is the show’s eponymous protagonist, who appears in most scenes. Her immediate family (mother Helen, father Jake, and younger sister Quinn) and her best friend Jane Lane appear in nearly every episode. A number of secondary characters round out the regular cast.
Daria’s theme song is „You’re Standing on My Neck“, written and performed by all-female band Splendora. The band later created original themes for the two Daria TV movies, „Turn the Sun Down“ (for Is It Fall Yet?) and „College Try (Gives Me Blisters)“ (for Is It College Yet?), along with some background music.
The plots of Daria largely concern juxtaposition between the central character’s jaded, sardonic cynicism and the values/preoccupations of her suburban American hometown of Lawndale. In a 2005 interview, series co-creator Glenn Eichler described the otherwise unspecified locale as, „a mid-Atlantic suburb, outside somewhere like Baltimore. They could have lived in Pennsylvania near the Main Line, though.“
