I was that age in 2006 and that style was strange to me back then as well
Same. Even as a metalhead adjacent to them, they were still a strange breed of kids. They were harmless though. I couldn’t stand the kids that shit on them for entertainment.
It’s kinda weird and heartwarming to be 30 something and see that style making a comeback. I hope they live as weird a life as we did back then.
We were copying bands to be edgy. Now explain broccoli.
They are trying. Cut 'em some slack, the age of a common generational culture is dead and they’re doing their own thing as best they can.
Our parents had woodstock/hippies/disco, we had nu-metal and gangsta rap, and they have…whatever they feel like having at the moment.
Invader Zim was the shit

I could never work up the nerve to talk to these girls, and I don’t think I missed out on much.
Certainly depends on the individual girl, but this style wasn’t called “emo” for nothing. You could have some deep talks with emos.
Obviously, they’re not going to open up to everyone, though, and many of them gladly played a bitch to sieve out all the people not worth opening up to. Seems like you got sieved out…
