We're you an emo in high school? Did you walk around with oversized hoodies in the fog?

I was an extremely anxious kid in high school, keeping to myself and making sure never to express myself really in any way apart from making people laugh because it was a pretty risk free way to get people to accept you. Now after years of therapy I don’t really care if people think the music I like is cringe and I’m mostly happy to be myself and let people self filter.
Hopefully you can find the same soon and not worry so much about how your choice of music might compare to other people’s.

Are there still people around that mock the Nemos?
I mean I used to because they were posers, but then it was 20 fucking years ago and now it isn’t, and I have a “Spooky till I die” badge on my jacket.
To some of us it wasn’t a faze, it was just a step on the ladder to becoming awesome. Many fall off the ladder, hell a lot of people don’t even climb it, but those of us that do will rock until we die.
Don’t mock the rock.

If you think Emo kids had the kibosh on oversized hoodies, you clearly don’t know what comfort is…
Also, stop giving a shit what other people listen to. You’ll live a life with less stress.bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Yes some of us identified with emo music and culture. Is that a problem? We were all young. We all had things we enjoyed.

Not bad. But it's like looking back on the pic of you in JNCO jeans and shaking your head at your youth

Nah. I would make all those decisions again. I’m proud of them.

Speak for yourself. Not all of us regret who we were or the decisions we made.

I actually don’t like them much. But they have made some proper jams, and I have mad respect for the music they made even though it’s not really what I’m into.
