8 Things Every Former Emo Kid Remembers

"It's not a phase, mom!"

8 Things Every Former Emo Kid Remembers
Wikipedia

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
