Middle school was a dark time for everyone. For those like me, we chose to show this darkness in the most literal way possible. By brooding in our black converse and neon skinny jeans. Now it’s several years later and you found new ways to show your individuality. My Chemical Romance is over and Fall Out Boy doesn’t speak to you like it used to. One thing over time remains the same. If the following applies to you, you were an emo kid.
1. "When I was a young boy my father took me into the city, to see a marching band". Admit it, you just belted that out and now the whole song is stuck in your head.
2. You hated your mom for not letting you get snakebite piercings even though you were 13 and “pretty much an adult”.
3. These were a staple in your wardrobe and still probably lying in your closet somewhere.
4. Pon and Zi littered your Myspace page.
5. Also featured were multiple black and white pictures of the rain with “inspiring” quotes.
6. Sometimes you’ll have nightmares about the amount of eyeliner you used to wear.
7. Every time you put on your fingerless gloves, you felt like the coolest person in the world.
8. You were heartbroken when Pete Wentz got married (and not to you)
9. You couldn’t support a band without getting a rubber bracelet with their name emblazoned on it.
10. On bad hair days you blame former you for the teasing and hair dye.
11. The majority of your selfies were in black and white because you were too deep for color.
12. You would spend hours searching photobucket for the best picture of a black rose to describe your current mood.
13. When the sun shines too brightly, you wonder if it's too late to go back your old ways.
