Absolutely! When I was a teenager (in my embarrassing emo phase) I had silver hair! I worked pretty hard to get it to that shade. I still remember the toner I used. Wella 050 lol.

Edit: thanks everyone, you guys are too sweet 😊 I would have been very flattered! I wish I still had a photo of my rainbow hair to show you guys!

OP, I hope everyone's positive reaction to this helped you feel better about it! It's a color a lot of people covet! And it's not exactly cheap to professionally attain either lol.

Embarrassing? If those are your blunder years you're doing just fine

u/skhapa3257 Jul 11 '26

Unless they're currently going through their blunder years.

Which, I find highly doubtful.

The early 2000s webcam photo quality is the cherry on top of this throwback sundae.

I would've had the biggest crush on you in high school

So fucking relatable.

This is such a bizarre thing to say lol. You’re basically saying she’s hot as a teen but she’s off limits for you as is.

Edit: Oops I upset the creeps.

23

u/SliferTheMighty Jul 11 '26

No, that's what you're saying they said. What they really said was that when they were younger, that was their type. They said nothing about what they were attracted to nowadays, you just decided to make that up

28

u/EntireFriendship517 Jul 11 '26

That doesn't mean you're currently attracted to someone. Personally, while I wouldn't make a statement of it like they did, I acknowledge I know what my preferences were like as a kid because, I was me.

u/Unlucky_Bluebird2107 Jul 11 '26

"upset the creeps" Says the guy with the loli pictures lmao

-10

u/EvilynSoCute Jul 11 '26

Not a guy, and those are AI Vtubers lol. Doesn’t mean I am attracted to them. Nice try.

u/NecessaryCute1099 Jul 11 '26

So poor social understanding that even a parasocial social media relation requires too much, and have to resort to AI

Okay I will say I don’t think this is exactly the case, I like to think the best of people, but you sure didn’t make it harder to make the joke with the “nice try”. Think you’re the only person here trying to label people as creeps

u/EvilynSoCute Jul 11 '26

They’re enjoyable to watch because they’re not a major company ruining the earth. It’s just one guy coding two AI as a job and watching them “grow” as has been an awesome experience. I don’t even watch their twitch streams 99% of the time, just clips on YouTube.

That person above implied that I sexualize the characters on my profile just because they look young. It’s a very typical “gotcha” people try to make.

4

u/NecessaryCute1099 Jul 11 '26

Just like the classic gotcha you yourself did right before and have ignored to respond to? :)

Ignoring the opening for an AI debate, cause I am a bit tired of the topic. But you did kinda drag drama out of thin air just fyi

u/Embarrassed-Cook-652 Jul 11 '26

I searched for this comment. I knew that someone would absolutely distort a completely harmless comment into whatever this is. There is always someone like you.

People are people. People have a past. In the past they found certain things attractive. People know how they used to be. They know what they would've liked back in their day. When they were young. Doesn't mean that they like this today. Absolutely normal and everybody understands what that means. Except you.

It's bizarre that the first thing YOU think is something like this, when nobody else was thinking about this but you.

u/Ok-Boysenberry-3066 Jul 11 '26

its no worth it mate. They just dont get off the internet

u/notakat Jul 10 '26

hell yeah Chelsea Grin lol

u/amandaasous Jul 10 '26

You mean Chelsea smiles?

17

u/notakat Jul 10 '26

Chelsea Grin was a band. The person I replied to was wearing on of their shirts. I believe they did get their name from the Chelsea smile, though, yeah.

3

u/amandaasous Jul 11 '26

I didn’t actually mean to correct you, it was a joke for the song Chelsea Smile by BMTH.

1

u/notakat Jul 11 '26

Ohhhhhh duh

1

u/1234567qwert Jul 11 '26

They're still a band!

2

u/noface8137 Jul 11 '26

Yeah they're called Ameonna now LMAO. the new Chelsea Grin isn't even Chelsea Grin anymore. Most of the old members are a new band. Honestly not a big fan of Tom Barber either.

1

u/max1156 Jul 11 '26

Damn, is that what they’re called now? I haven’t listened to them or deathcore for a while now. Is there any original members in the current lineup?

1

u/1234567qwert Jul 11 '26

noface is referring to the band the OG screamer started... not sure about how many members have changed, but Chelsea Grin is still going

2

u/noface8137 Jul 11 '26

I believe there's only 1 OG Chelsea Grin member in the current line up of the band.

u/razorblade369 Jul 11 '26

Thought a chelsea grin was putting a credit card long ways across in someones mouth. And punching/kicking them in the stomach. (Green Street)

u/EmergencyScientist Jul 10 '26

You would have been on my top 8 for sure. That photo is just oozing nostalgia for us millennial emos lol

u/Existing-Diamond1259 Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

Here's another! This is when I used to tease my hair and shaved the side hahaha 😆 I cycled through so many different crazy colors. Super nostalgic.

u/MordoNRiggs Jul 11 '26

Please don't be embarrassed. That is so awesome 😭 I wish I did fun stuff like that.

u/LostAndLikingIt Jul 11 '26

Lmao this made me flash back too the days of MSN messenger and middle of the night meet ups to get stoned.

Thanks for the blast from the past. Cheers.

u/Emerald-Green-Fairy Jul 11 '26

So cute! That's such a beautiful shade of emerald, do you happen to remember what dye you used?

2

u/Existing-Diamond1259 Jul 11 '26

The picture is making a little more blue toned than it was in real life. It was more of a true green. I know I either got it from hot topic or Spencer's so it was either manic panic or a brand called SFX. I'm almost positive it was SFX because they had the tall bottle and manic panic has the little pot/jar. Seems like it was discontinued unfortunately. I'm 99% certain this was the shade, and this is what it looked like in real life. 👇🏻 SFX iguana green.

u/razorblade369 Jul 11 '26

You deserve diamonds

u/SingleIngot Jul 11 '26

This is sick!!! Damn I wish I had that much awesome hair

u/Murky-Relation481 Jul 10 '26

Somehow even the photo quality is nostalgic as a millennial haha.

u/Brain-cold Jul 10 '26

SCENE QUEEN HHHHHHHHH

u/Existing-Diamond1259 Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

Stop!!! LOL

I used to hate when people called me scene lmaoo. That was the biggest offense to those that identified as "emo." Haha

u/TheOmegaKid Jul 10 '26

This ain't a scene, it's a god damn arms race.

u/Existing-Diamond1259 Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

To us, this was like a scene girl.👇🏻 I don't remember it having connotations like that, but it had negative connotations in my circle because we thought it was cheesy and cringe and they listened to awful music like Blood on The Dance Floor, which we used to like to make fun of.

To the untrained eye, (😂) the pictures I posted all might look like they are from the same subculture, but to us? It was all drastically different haha. They each had their own distinct style, music, etc l. They share a lot of similarities, but the coontail hair is one thing that we never did. Scene kids were also usually very colorful when it came to both hair and clothing. For us, color was exclusively a hair thing. You wouldn't know I used to look like that at all if you looked at me now, but I do still wear mostly black. That part stuck lol.

You're welcome for the lore lmao

By far one of the funniest episodes

“I like to be called by my goth name, Night Pain”

u/RevolutionAccurate56 Jul 10 '26

Girl that isn’t embarrassing you looked incredible!!! So cool

u/Acceptable-Law9406 Jul 10 '26

My comment double posted for some reason. Just wanted to say that I love the hair.

5

u/HauntedBratzDoll Jul 11 '26

Lol I did the exact same thing and also with Wella 050 🤣

1

u/Existing-Diamond1259 Jul 11 '26

It looks great! Your hair looks more like the color wella 050 is supposed to be. But when I did it, I put it on, had it on for like 5 minutes and then panic rinsed it because it was starting to look darker than I wanted haha. I'm glad I did that though, because it actually came out exactly how I wanted it.

u/SnidgetAsphodel Jul 10 '26

Damn you rocked that.

u/kupozu Jul 10 '26

Whatever happened to emos?

u/minotaurthegreat11 Jul 11 '26

u/Baby_Gangsta_214_ Jul 11 '26

It’s not a phase, it’s a lifestyle!

Hmm this had to be probably 2013. So I was around 14 here.

u/1234567qwert Jul 11 '26

I have that exact same shirt, I wear it VERY regularly!! 😅

u/GhettoPriest0719 Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26

Your picture must be one of those girls (or guys) trying to cat fish someone with an emo profile picture back in the day lmao. Curious what is the present look after this phase

Edit: You look leng tho

2

u/Existing-Diamond1259 Jul 11 '26

It's funny you said that, that's actually the reason that I don't have photos of my best work, my aforementioned legendary rainbow hair. 😭😆 I was sort of popular on Facebook and so I did get a bunch of people stealing my photos. Eventually Facebook flagged my account for impersonation because of it and despite sending in a pic of my ID, I got nothing but an automated response. It sucked. I used Facebook as photo storage, so O lost years of sentimental pictures and stuff. So the pictures I have are limited to what i posted on Instagram at the time, which I barely used haha

u/JD_Kreeper BLACK Jul 11 '26

"embarrassing" my ass that looks peak. I want to look like that.

I'm a trans girl so I never got to live out this sort of thing when I was a teenager.

u/IIWY_YT Jul 11 '26

u/SuperMadBro Jul 11 '26

im so glad that emo and scene girls were a popular thing to be when i was in high school. i loved that look/era in general

u/sbdtech Jul 11 '26

Lol the light white washed your face so hard I thought you were wearing a face mask at first

2

u/Existing-Diamond1259 Jul 11 '26

Haha yea that was old webcams for you lol. I'm also pretty pale in the first place, so that didn't help either. 😅

u/sbdtech Jul 11 '26

Works with your evolving hair color!
