Is emo cringe, or is it too nostalgic for that now?
Emo is all cringe, but scene girls are still hot.
Alt is hot. Emo, scene, goth, they’re all hot.
Maybe I’m just biased as a millennial, but Scene was definitely a way cooler vibe overall than whatever it is zoomers and alphas are doing.
And no why would me having a crush on every scene girl in my highschool affect my opinion on this dont be silly.
Currently, Zoomers and Gen Alpha are really into Y2K. So give it a couple of years, and Scene and Emo will be back in fashion and this will be considered peak cool parents photos.
What type of fashion is Y2K?
Is it matrix-grunge?I wish. It kinda falls into like some kind of Bratz-core or something, in my opinion. There’s a handful of outfits I see that wouldn’t have looked out place in a high school in 2000, but a lot of it feels like Temu ripping off Hot Topic vibes. A lot of jeans that wish they were JNCOs, some cargo pants, plenty of crop tops, and zip-up hoodies. The closest I could find to Matrix anything in a quick search were a couple of outfits that wouldn’t look out of place at an MCR concert.
This is labeled as “Y2K Grunge”:
Bottom style just looks like “girl grunge”.
Basically most of those wouldn’t be out of place in highschool in the 90s/2000s I guess.Yeah, the weird part for me is that some of these are like “celebrity fits,” so it’s like teenagers to mid-20s adults wearing what the fashion industry thinks 90s - 2000s high school kids wore, as high fashion. Like if people started doing photo shoots and runway walks in skateboard kid outfits. It feels as incongruent as when companies sell ripped t-shirts for $2,000.
Who doesn’t enjoy a nice pair of flares/jeans with the bottom all frayed where you’ve walked on it, and wet up to your knees because that’s the reality of weather.
Yeah this is definitively just the same old “what we did as kids was cool but what the kids do now is not”
Yeah, I agree. We knew what cool was but kids seem to have lost it somewhere along the way. Though not really same old, older generations were also weird.
Man I feel lucky to have grown up in the brief period where kids were cool, what are the odds?
Can’t tell if goth or emo in black and white photos.
It’s certainly either emo or scene based on their hair. My ESPN tells me they’re scene.
So technically (pushes up glasses) the picture tells us nothing of their music’s tastes so all you know is how they dressed
Emo and goth are different mindsets, not just musical tastes.
I’m not either, so my pics won’t be as entertaining in 20+ years.
But emo and goth transcended music and became a lifestyle. Like country, it’s music and a location.
Well I’m pretty sure they’re not the Jethro Tull type
Goth girls are hot. Emo girls, not so much.
emo has always been cringe. Growling barely works when you sound like a monster, it doesn’t fucking work when you sound like a child throwing a tantrum.
Wait. Does that mean they did the sex?
They’re probably grandparents already
Assuming they’re 30 in that picture and every generation has kids at 20 they don’t become great grandparents until 2059.
I’m assuming they’re fifteen.
I remember Kentucky in 2009.
Nah, their age is about moving the date up by 10-15 years. It means their kids have kids sooner than if they were fifteen in the photo. It’s the oldest they could plausibly be.
They did the future sex!
Back to the future sex.
Giggity
I suspect X/Twitter will be a long distant memory well before these folks would be grandparents.
Or maybe it will be remembered similarly to things like the Hitler youth in the future.
MySpace pic
I mean, you can find 70s punk images just like this. I’m sure some are already great-grand parents. Nancy and Sid are from 1977:
2024 -2009 = 15
Great grandparents?
“A tweet from the future”
Ahh, I overlooked that.
Do you always enjoy missing the joke?
