Abstract
This study explores the ideological and cultural transformations in American society following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and examines the impact of these changes on the perception of adulthood. Using the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force as a case study, the article investigates how the series contributed to redefining the concept of adulthood in post-9/11 American society. This production, part of the Adult Swim platform, uses absurd humor and a narrative style that challenges traditional social norms, reflecting the individualistic and questioning youth culture of the time. The article argues that Aqua Teen Hunger Force is not merely a form of entertainment but also a reflection of broader ideo-logical and cultural shifts in American society. In this context, the series provides viewers with both a reprieve from political and social pressures and an opportunity to question traditional concepts of adulthood and identity. By highlighting the ideological implications of media products, this study seeks to enhance understanding of post-9/11 American society and culture.
