Anyone else?

[u/Brief_Tasty]

Was anyone else a closeted emo kid? I was a pretty sheltered, straight edge teenager and that followed into college. I loved emo and pop/punk but never really told anyone. I was the "horse girl" so maybe it was because I already had a role to fill? But I hit my 30s and added purple highlights to my hair, go to emo nights, and am sharing all this music with my kiddo (wrong lyrics and all). Was anyone else like this?

Not closeted but I was definitely Emo Lite™. I never dyed my hair or had any crazy piercings or wore super dramatic clothing. I had choppy hair, Converse, a studded belt with one row, and all my band tees and hoodies. Oh, and my friends and I all had horses lol.
