Almost everyone had their emo phase growing up. If you didn't, I probably don't trust you. Emo days were the best days, honestly. Emo kids basically lived in their own little worlds, filled with indie and punk music. Being an emo kid was more than just the music though, so here's some things almost every single former emo kid remembers.
1. Chipped black fingernails
Your signature nail polish, usually touched up by using a black Sharpie marker.
2. Parting your hair over your eyes
If people could see your eyes, it wasn't parted enough.
3. "Scene" hair
Thankfully, my hair never was this big. I tried though, I really did. Scene hair was all about outrageously teasing your hair and then spraying it with hair spray so your hair was stiff as a board. It was usually followed with a bow or some sort of colorful hair extension.
4. Coontail extensions
The perfect accessory to go with your scene hair; usually bought from your local Hot Topic. They came in a variety of different colors and had clip ins because your parents wouldn't let you get them done professionally. Thanks mom and dad, it actually was a phase.
5. Famous "scene" kids
Alex Evans, Brookelle Bones...you wished you were as emo as them. They were your top friends on MySpace, above friends and family.
6. Checkered belts
The perfect thing to hold your skinny jeans up.
7. Skinny jeans
Admit it, you had them in every color. Especially neon.
8. Writing on your converse
I don't know why this was ever a trend. Personally, I'm mad that we ruined sixty dollar shoes.
These are just a few things former emo kids remember; these definitely brought me back to my emo days.
