It’s sad they got so much hate back the days. Their style was so awesome and different. I always admired that, but didn’t have the courage to go full emo and draw everybodys hate on me.

Gonna be honest, I really like the aesthetic even to this day.

This was like, 5% of millennials. Trust me, I was one of them. We got our asses kicked for dressing this way. Most everyone else either did "gangsta" style with low-hanging pants and Timberland boots/Jordans, or "preppy" style with a boring-ass polo shirt and khakis.

Don’t forget about thrift store style! Which wasn’t a style back then. Advantage though, us thrift store kids could switch styles daily. ‘Gangsta’ Monday, ‘emo’ Wednesday, poser Friday.

Wouldn’t that just be poser every day?

Emocore stuff was also later on and seen generally as a pop-poser spinoff of punk and metal culture. It got uniquely hated on by both mainstream and alternative cliques because of this.

I personally went through a pretty extended punk phase and never really got picked on. I actually made plenty of friends with jocks and stoners in high school, while wearing a pretty cringe getup with operation Ivy patches and shit.

I gravitated toward nu-metal/industrial with wide leg JNCO pants and ball-chain necklaces.

I haven't even heard of "emo" being an actual style until now. I thought it was just goth. Maybe because it's a couple years after my time. I'm an older millennial, graduated high school in 2000.

Yeah, I’d say Emo really got going after 2000, at least in my experience

The boomer’s had everything better. That fashion works for me.

But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.

The only thing that’s really improved is people’s teeth.

But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.

Because they inherited an economy with actual food and replaced it with “food” filled with industrial inventions like corn syrup

The Millenials laughing at Gen Z are the same Millenials who mocked emo/scene kids back then.

Was a goth, mocked emos and scene kids. Learned my lesson, rock on you little weirdos, enjoy your time of experimentation
