You still go into Hot Topic

Sure you'll tell all your friends you're going ironically but in reality you know that they're having a huge sale right now and you've been eyeing these black skinny jeans for a couple of weeks.

When you hear that one G note on the piano

You break out into all your old gear, including mounds of black eyeliner and sing-scream all the lyrics to Welcome to the Black Parade

The Holy Trinity means something a little bit different to you

Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, and My Chemical Romance (RIP). 3 of the best bands in the emo world

You may have your hair dyed crazy colors

I definitely don't have green hair right now...

You may have your old piercings or stretched earlobes still.

All kinds of different earrings. Helix, triple helix, double lobe, industrial. The list goes on.

You still want to be in a band or you are in a band.

I wish I had a lick of musical talent because I would form a band with some old friends in a heartbeat. Alas I have I am tone deaf and that's okay.

You still go to Warped Tour

You'll tell everyone it's just because one really cool unknown band is playing and you want support them but in reality you go because it's your emo version of Disney world.

You go to see your favorite bands concert any chance you get.

My first concert was Panic! at the Disco last June, since them I've made an effort to go to more concerts and live music and it was the best decision I've made in a long time.

You told your mom it wasn't a phase and you were right.

Although you may not wear your spiky belt with everything you wear anymore you know deep down if emo fashion came back in style you'd be all for it.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
