In the 1990s, MTV was known for, among other things, some iconic animated television shows, including Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, and The Maxx.
Arguably the most relatable and grounded of all MTV's animated hits was Daria, which premiered 20 years ago. The series followed the titular character, a high school student who was both incredibly bright and brutally sarcastic, who did her best to survive the high school social scene as someone who was entirely anti-social.
Despite being very rooted 1990s culture, Daria still feels just as relevant today.

"A lot of the issues and feelings you have in high school are timeless," co-creator Susie Lewis tells Entertainment Weekly.
That very relevance, and the fact that the characters were so well-written that they felt like actual people, led Lewis and character designer Karen Disher to wonder where the Daria cast would be today, two decades later.
"It had been a long time since I watched the show, but this brought back such great memories and reminded me of how much fun it was to create Daria," says Lewis.

Jake and Helen Morgendorffer
Daria's parents have retired from their stressful office workplaces. They spend most of their time now enjoying their golden years on one cruise or another. When they do return home to Lawndale, they keep busy with activities like dance class.
Trent Lane
Mystik Spiral disbanded after earning a little bit of money off of their one-hit wonder track, "Freakin' Friends." Now Trent barely gets by as a bartender while fronting his new band, Trent Lane and the Mystikal Explosion. He lives with all four of his bandmates in Queens and still hangs out frequently with Jane and Daria.
Daria Morgendorffer
Daria used her biting sense of humor as a weapon and a defense mechanism in high school. Now it helps her pay the bills. She lives in Hell's Kitchen and works as the only female writer on the writing staff for a late-night talk show. She lives with her black cat, Godzilla. Otherwise, she gives online dating a try every once in a while but hasn't found permanent companionship just yet, though she's well over her crush on Trent.
Jane Lane
Jane now lives in SoHo and is still an artist. She's sold a few pieces of her work, but she's still pretty underground. She's married to an archeologist who spends a lot of time away from home on assignment. She still spends a lot of time with Daria and, even though they attend plenty of social events, they're still as anti-social as ever.
Quinn
Quinn married her college boyfriend but has since divorced and dropped her last name entirely. She still lives in Lawndale with her triplet sons and is as fashion conscious as ever. She runs a popular YouTube channel about dessert and skin care, "S'mores and Pores."
Brittany and Kevin Thompson
The inseparable high school couple is still inseparable today. The quarterback and cheerleader, Kevin and Brittany, got married and now have five children (three girls and two boys). Kevin is a stay-at-home dad while Brittany works as a weather girl, and she still puts on her old cheerleading uniform every Halloween.
