We all went through an "emo" phase at one point in our lives. (And if you didn't, you seriously missed out.) For some, it only lasted a month, for others it lasted all throughout middle school, and for a few of us, well, we never really quite grew out of it. I'm not saying I still listen to All Time Low 24/7 and only wear black nail polish. But let's just say my current fashion style and music taste reflects this phase of my life.
So, if you're anything like me, here are some things you probably still do if you haven't quite grown out of your pop punk phase.
1. Instead of jamming out to Taylor Swift after a bad day, you tend to turn on some angsty music instead.
2. You can't help but make your eyeliner line just a little bit thicker than it should be.
3. You beg your friends to come with you to your old favorite bands' concerts but they think it's too "screamo." (Even though it's totally not, it's pop punk.. there's a big difference!)
4. Black nail polish is still your go-to. (And just black clothing in general actually.)
5. You still own like 10 pairs of converse.
6. Band tees are regular part of your wardrobe.
7. You roll your eyes at people who are JUST NOW getting into Panic! at the Disco.
8. When someone plays a throwback All-American Rejects song at a party and you suddenly become the life of the party.
9. You've turned from pop punk to indie rock because it's a much more sophisticated genre but still has those "meaningful" lyrics that you oh so you to love.
10. You still think guys who wear skinny jeans, vans, and beanies are cute.
11. But, you're happy you went through that unfortunately awkward phase and that it's still apart of you because else would you have be able to get all your teen angst out?
