I never picked up the emo style, nor was I really in the scene, but most of my friends were emo. They were a cringeworthy group, and I never really was part of their circle. I didn't have many friends in high school, so I just settled with what I could get. When I graduated, I cut off all ties with them.

It still surprises me to this day how I ever managed to get laid, secure a date to the prom, get voted "most fashionable". It's not like this stuff matters, I just look back at my teenage years in shame.

During a man's teen years, relationships are developed that teach someone loyalty and empathy for others. Being sieg's friend as an adult would suck, he will have no basis or respect for the value of a human relationship. Years of hanging out or even dating him, would mean nothing to him. I've met people like this and they tend to use people and cast them aside.

why do you gauge the success of people with the amount of "friends" they have, or how many women they have entered relationships with? Nobody looks in history books and reads about men who frequented night clubs and had several acquaintances. i didn't have anyone in college either, but i managed to graduate multiple times. what good would friends do me today?

drive drunks around from party to party and pay for their food? why do i need those people in my life?

I wasn't ever full on emo or scene but I had some elements of that to my look back then.
>neon multiple colored sneakers
>dark blue skinny jeans
>short sleeved light and dark blue striped shirt
>second hand cardigans
Never dyed my hair but I put a lot of product in it. I got a mohawk for a short time a the end of freshman year and after that just had a pixie cut.

I think a lot of people remember that time period with nostalgia because we were kids and the economy was fine up until the end of 2007.
I remember people seemed happier and much more hopeful back then and a college degree resulted in an automatic job. I think times were so good that's where the 90's and 00's goth/emo/scene thing came from. Everyone was well off and relatively happy so suburban teens had to come up with something extra angsty.

Tbh I never liked the irony and post irony shift that happened around the time of the financial downturn. I'm pretty tired of it and I feel like it contributed to our generation's jaded outlook. Or I guess our jaded outlook created the irony/post irony shift to begin with. Whatever.
