Emo Phase 2k26
So I think I want to go through an emo phase this year. As a teenager, I went through the mental illness and unfun aspects of depression which were so glamorized by the subculture, but none of the chic parts. I would sit in my room and cry because I hated myself and cut to Into the West by Annie Lennox and wish I was dead and have panic attacks constantly. But like, I never listened to Paramore or MCR or any of the emo music, and I never died my hair or wore crazy outfits. Now that I'm old and married and boring, maybe I need to spice up my life by going through that phase? I could get an eyebrow piercing (well, maybe a fake one) and put a purple streak in my hair and wear black skinny jeans (with ACTUAL rips) and listen to Muse.
And now I come to Tumblr.com, the home of former emo weirdos who are still weird but have moved on, to humbly ask for advice and thoughts and recommendations.
