Starting in late 1998, A-Teens begun as a tribute for following Swedish band, ABBA. Just like the foursome, the group consisted of two males and females, which would later move on to other works.

A-Teens provides examples of the following tropes:

• Beach Episode: "Sugar Rush" takes place at the beach.
  • Bare Your Midriff/Shirtless Scene: The girls on the former, while the boys opt for the latter.
  • The girls also did the same this in "A Perfect Match".

  • "Morning Light" (E-Type)
  • "Can't Help Falling in Love"' (Elvis Presley)
  • "One Night in Bangkok" (Murray Head)
  • "I Promised Myself" (Nick Kamen)
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: At least in the beginning, the "A" means ABBA and the group were teenagers when they started.
  • The "A"s in ABBA stood for first names of the female members.
• Expy: Considering their started as an ABBA cover band, it should be obvious when it came to the girls: one blonde (Marie) one brunette (Sara)
  • Ironically, Agnetha (blonde) was the younger Anna-Frid (brunette), while Marie was older than Sara. Agnetha was the youngest of ABBA while Marie is the oldest of the A-Teens.

  • Wild Teen Party: The last quarter has a 'G-Rated' kind, even the adults joins in.
