Do some teenagers pretend that they dont watch animation?

Zim's always been a big one, ever since Hot Topic stocked their stores full of his and GIR's faces.

Anyways, back when I was in high school, cartoons weren't exactly the big talk; it came up once in a while, and some people did watch Spongebob or Ed, Edd, N' Eddy, but for the most part, most of the kids I hung out with talked about music and other stuff, which I'll admit I was big into as well(still am, in fact).

However, I was good friends with a kid who was a huge Tex Avery fan, and absolutely loved his cartoons and the over-exaggeration in his cartoons. Throughout high school, we would watch the Looney Tunes cartoons and Avery's MGM works together, and analyze them. Both him and I had no issues talking about Tex or the Looney Tunes around other people, but I don't think either of us really cared if anyone thought less of us anyways.
 
Sounds nice, my friend loves to pretend that he doesn't like cartoons around other people and adults. Of course, he loves his false fronts. Anyway, he's a chuck jones only kind of Looney Tunes snob, every other director is just a load of filler for him.
 
Cartoons encompass all American and foreign animation. Fact, no room for debate.

Guys, we've had this discussion countless times in the past and you know how it has ended. We're not having the whole "Anime isn't Cartoons" discussion all over again. Not in this thread. That's not what this topic is about.

Feel free to discuss the actual topic of this thread, but if anybody goes off-topic the thread will be closed.
 
Well, my school has the usual anime fans but besides that, not that many open cartoon fans over here. I have three friends who watch Total Drama, one friend who watches Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and one who watches Sym-Bionic Titan. Other than that, I don't know anyone open with their cartoon love currently. However, there is a bunch of Avatar: The Last Airbender fans in the school who are eagerly waiting for next year.
 
Mostly anime fans at my school who don't watch American animation, but most of them aren't snobby about it. There are actually quite a few people who watch Adventure Time, one perason who watches Regular Show and one who watches Flapjack. These are just the people I know of though. And yes also lots of Avatar and Zim fans.:shrug:
