Ah, yes. The 2000’s. It was a great time, yet a horrible time for fashion. I remember bleaching my hair to death, then dying it purple with some crappy Splat hair dye that only lasted a few days.

Here are a few things you may remember if you had an emo/scene phase in middle school or high school.

Hand warmers

Wearing too much eyeliner

Skinny jeans in every possible colors

 

Dying your hair

Begging your parents to let you get a piercing

Wearing as many bracelets as you could

Wearing Converse or Vans all the time

Or even worse, knee-high Converse

Having a closet full of band tees

Always having your iPod or MP3 player on you
