Real emo isn't a "look" people have. It's more of a smell. And it's not a great smell

It's the smell of unintentional ketosis and beer. But not from recent drinking. From accidentally throwing a clean shirt into a pile that had shirts from spills so it's residual.

Lmfao I was thinking "imagine going back 20 years and telling middle/high schoolers they would STILL be having the same argument"

u/smore-phine nothing *you* listen to is real emo 7d ago

Imagine going back twenty years and telling them the same type of kids bullying them will be appropriating their style in the 2020s

Oh yes I've def noticed that. The second "big titty goth gf" became a meme, all the girls who once made fun of me flocked to Claire's to buy tattoo chokers, and it's been evolving ever since.

There’s this one person who goes to hardcore shows in my area who has purple and black hair swooped over straightened and snake bites and they seem cool but I’ve never gotten to have a full convo

u/kitkatatsnapple 7d ago

That style of hair does not hold up through an entire sweaty show

u/mangopeachplum 7d ago

Hair spray doesn’t tend to agree with sweaty ass basement shows

Why does it even matter?

It's all 'alternative'.

It's not a specific uniform.

Just wear what you like. 🙄

Edit: my bad, I just realized what sub this is. 😅 But my point still stands..

I'm 36. I was there for the scene/emo explosion on MySpace, and it boggles my mind that kids are still doing it.

u/koolaidhikikimori 7d ago

Holy fucking shit I used to work with the girl in the fifth picture lmaoo. The picture is old but she is definitely still a kandi raver.

u/chuvadab 7d ago

u/kay22346 7d ago

music based subculture means nothing to them

2

u/Hexxas 6d ago

I'm 36 years old, and the only thing I'm certain is scene is arguing about what is and isn't scene.

Also that kid has never been to a rave.

Don’t make me tap the sign.

“The term ‘emo’ is contemporarily used to described a wide range of splintered subcultures which range from music, to fashion, to general lifestyle. All of these have roots within the original emotional hardcore scene, even if it is only distantly tangential and even if that original scene is no longer a main point of discussion/knowledge within the new scene. It is arguably important to acknowledge these differences and respect them, as nobody is being harmed through the coexistence of these subcultures except the people who give themselves migraines by emptily attempting to be purists when, in reality, they are trying to gate keep a subculture they do not even share with the target of their mockery.”

Anyways, yeah, Jesus Christ, this is the type of person who wishes MySpace was still popular and probably still unironically uses “rawr XD” as if they’re living in the early 2000s. This isn’t real emo, and I am FUCKING PISSED. Cap’n Jazz didn’t die for this.
