A-Teens provides examples of the following tropes:

• 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)
