Oh I don't disagree that it's been a yoyo between casts.

I am disagreeing that it was designed as the teen book when Wolfman wrote it and stating the problem has fundamentally been that editorial have been chasing after this mirage of a book whose central conceit never existed.

Remember, prior to this the Teen Titans had been a fifty issue comic that had been cancelled twice. Although Wolfman certainly followed up on prior characters, his focus was on the collection on misfit toys like Wonder Girl (who was created due to an editorial mistake), Changeling (who post Doom Patrol had nothing to do), Robin (who due to O'Neil was no longer joined at the hip to Bruce and was doing these college adventures), a prior character who he reimagined (Starfire) while bringing in his own characters (Raven, Cyborg).

Although the characters were certainly younger, the only real teen was Beast Boy.

Essentially it was the equivalent of Claremont's reimaginging of the X-Men, where he was using the base that someone else imagined to launch his own stuff rather than being a "teen book".
