1. When you hear your old favorite bands' songs, the words come straight back to you -- no matter how long it has been since you have last heard it -- and you cannot help but jam out.

2. You feel a combination of pride and annoyance when the band "you discovered" suddenly becomes mainstream.

3. You are personally offended yet, at the same time, really sad for any teens who choose to be hardcore -- but hardcore Beliebers, Directioners, whatever-ers.

4. You still own your old pair of Converse or Vans and don't plan on letting them go any time soon.

5. You thought that facial piercing and gauges were the coolest thing, and you tried to sneak around your parents and get them.

6. You have now graduated to tattoos.

7. You are the only one of your friends who is not intimidated by this:

8. Your favorite band t-shirt is still kicking around your room somewhere. It brings back too many memories for you to get rid of it.

9. Warped Tour was your holiday.

10. Putting your pants on was quite the struggle.

11. This was your idea of relationship goals.

12. Your hair is permanently damaged from all of the times you doused it in Manic Panic and tortured it with a flat iron.

13. Moshing and crow-surfing were your cardio -- even if they completely terrified you.

14. You desperately tried to learn how to play either the guitar or drums, and if you were not musically talented, you told yourself that your journaling was basically like writing songs and, thus, you still had a chance to make it in a band one day.

15. You cannot really shake your past, so you have channeled all of your creativity and emotion into some artistic major, like English literature or music production.
