JNCO parachute pants, a Korn shirt, wallet chains, and ball-chain necklaces were the uniform of that time period. Gen-Z mushroom tops also have nothing on the all around close shave with long front bangs.
@TimeSquirrel @siipale @BudgieMania parachute pants need a comeback. They were the most roomy and comfortable jeans ever
The only correct dimensions for pants are the dimensions that allow you to steal a second pair of pants underneath them
Yeah where the fuck do you put all your things in those slime jeans? I got more keys and glasses now shaking hand at cloud
I was so attracted to those type of girls when I was in high school.
Unfortunately, they were never into me :(
I still am, but nobody dresses emo anymore. :(

In my early 30s. From what I've seen, they've kind of changed it a bit and ditched the clothes, but I've seen them getting into tattoos a lot more.
As a non-tatted guy, who looks totally different from them, they're still not into me and I'm still into it hahaha
Seek women of your own age instead of high school girls ;)

The Zim shirt is baller
Could assemble this whole look at a Hot Topic. Throw in a Jack Skellington chain wallet for good measure.
Stop lying, you know you like it!
This shit is still cool! I'm not even going to act ashamed! Hell fucking yeah I dressed like that, and It was motherfucking "epic!"
Wear whatever you think is cool zoomers, and stop for NO ONE! The moment you start letting others dictate your coolness is when you stop being young.
Dear gen Z. You're currently in your cringe teen phase. One day you'll look back and mock it with us.

That is an aesthetic I can get down with, though.
Give it 5-10 years and this will be fashionable again.
I mean... This looks exactly like the 90s.
If you'd told me I'd miss 2006 back in 2006 I'd have laughed.
Let the kids have their cringe phase
I'm so sad I never had a cringe phase :(
As an elder Millennial, I'm left wondering WTF I missed in 2006?!? All the girls in high school were wearing Doc Martins, turtle necks, and low-cut jeans while sporting streaky highlights in their hair, and all of the girls in college were wearing Uggs and puffy coats with faux-fur hoods. There was none of... Whatever this is.
This is the "scene kid" aesthetic that was popular in the mid aughts. They barely made the millennial cutoff as far as I'm concerned and they're not very representative of our generation as a whole.
Hot topic goths evolved into emo lite
Yeah this wasn't 2006 really and was more like 2009-2010 when the "scene" scene got "big".
I don't care what anyone says I still think this style is cool and I'm 27 years old. Maybe it's an Enby/Agender thing though, I don't know.
I use Plex and also think it's cool
Invader Zim was the shit
The movie they made recently was damn good as well
I have no idea why the millennial vs gen z debate is trending right now but I just love it
It's just more divisive bullshit purposely turned into bad memes to catch people's attention. As usual, it puts people in groups and then encourages disagreement between them. It keeps people from looking up. It's so stupid.
Besides, Boxxxy is just an e-girl. Where are the differences

Millennials are old enough to be crotchety old farts now.
Source: am millennial; am crotchety old fart.
I was that age in 2006 and that style was strange to me back then as well
Same, was in high school '04-'08 and maybe 1% of the kids dressed like that. Most of us just wore jeans and t-shirts, and had short haircuts.
I could never work up the nerve to talk to these girls, and I don't think I missed out on much.
Certainly depends on the individual girl, but this style wasn't called "emo" for nothing. You could have some deep talks with emos.
Obviously, they're not going to open up to everyone, though, and many of them gladly played a bitch to sieve out all the people not worth opening up to. Seems like you got sieved out...
We are big enough for reposts now? Great!
To me these looks are cringe bc they look like the adults when I was a kid /teen (80s,90s) used to look.
It was weird back in the 90s in the Midwest when metal heads got called "weirdos" for hanging out in record shops, wearing comfy baggy clothes, and rocking band tees. But then in the early 2000s, sappy, emotional pop rock became the new trend. The same people who used to make fun of metal heads started dressing like that teenager in the picture and hanging out at Hot Topic in the mall. It was ridiculous.
Where I live the goth kids, baggy pants, wife beater looks are completely back, just how it was when I lived in California 20 years ago. I live in Central Europe now and it has given me some serious flashbacks. Hell, I feel 18 again. The only thing missing is Avril Lavigne blasting from the radio non-stop.
I was in Berlin last year and got some serious whiplash at the styles. Goth-y baggy pants, tanks, cutoff shirts... Being Berlin, I thought "wow everywhere else will be like these kids a couple years."
Alright, fair.
Those times were so much better, no Karens or women with blue hair and shaved heads.
There were plenty of people with blue hair lmao what are you on
Or are you using blue hair as an alt right dogwhistle?

I wasn't like that, but got myself a scene gal back in the day (not the over the top hair kind tho), we had nothing in common lol
