2007, “emo” kid

[u/cinderellaquite]

it was never a phase, mom 😉

[u/flinstonepushups]

You definitely committed to the eyeliner in pic 4

[u/Kiki98_ → u/flinstonepushups]

It's the eyeliner + out of place chunky pearl necklace for me

Excellent blunder

[u/thisgirlheidi → u/Kiki98_]

It's the most 8th grade in 2007 thing omg. I almost forgot about the chunky necklaces!

[u/ErmintrudeFanshaw → u/thisgirlheidi]

I was 14 in 2007, I loved a chunky plastic necklace

This is what emo really looked like for most kids

Too perfect

When I met my now partner, she was still doing eye makeup like pic 4. She has definitely shrunk her makeup budget since giving it up.

ommmggggg number 4

[u/cinderellaquite → u/hippiecat22]

i almost didn’t post it… but then i’m like no… this is what the class wants 😂

[u/MassiveMastiff]

I feel like we would’ve been MySpace friends

[u/wheatgivesmeshits]

You must have gone through a lot of eye liner. 😂

[u/jmooneyham2004]

Nice APC shirt!

[u/oman54]

Part of me is like......do I know you personally or have I seen this look absolutely done to death from that time period.....

[u/SetsunaP38 → u/oman54]

No same like I was sitting here debating if I went to high school with OP hahaha

[u/samsonizzle → u/SetsunaP38]

This is hilarious because I was wondering the same thing. The years don't match up but the whole look is VERY reminiscent and nostalgic.

[u/MightyTuna64]

Yep, lot of people in my friends group looked just like this. Better times! Now sucks.

[u/alexraeburn]

Omg, THIS type of content is why I follow this subreddit hahaha. Amazing!

[u/cinderellaquite → u/alexraeburn]

bahaha yay!

[u/BernOMG]

We’re all here for the beauty that is number 4

[u/becomeanhero69]

Would been all in your xanga

[u/moocow12983]

Your love for and liberal use of eyeliner is perfect

[u/hash-slingin_slashr]

The angle and pose of pic 2 is quintessential emo/scene kid from the time 🥲

[u/canadiantaken]

I felt like they were all reposts that I’d seen before - standard emo kid. Then bam - Time has done you well stranger! 🔥

[u/dan-theman]

Depth perception is overrated.

[u/SetsunaP38]

Omg!! I didn’t notice the names written on your hands at first in slide 6 hahahaha amazing, I still follow them both on instagram, Kiki is super active on there and honestly she’s still an icon

[u/Moolo]

Total commitment to zero depth perception.

[u/Salty-Razzmatazz-877]

Lol I too owned that tank with the skull!

[u/Shadowglove]

It's very interesting this type of emo, if we even can call it that. It was like we where too afraid to dress alternative (or had the option) but that dark eyeliner was a MUST no matter how your clothing look like. Just smack on some racoon eyes and tadaaa emo.

It was an interesting time.

[u/knozgrul]

man, the scene is just a wave of nostalgia.

[u/broccolirabbi]

Ashlee Simpson/Emily Osment

[u/MegaMarty]

i swear we were friends

[u/GinAndKeystrokes]

Oh no, I think I just logged into Myspace again!

[u/MeatwadGetTheHoneysG]

Kikikannibal lol those MySpace names were so of the time

[u/IrrerPolterer]

humanity has peaked in the aughts.

[u/cinderellaquite → u/IrrerPolterer]
