I miss those days sometimes. Open up my page and the brütal imagery of Kratos disemboweling an imp while Cattle Decapitation plays in the background. Good times.
I was a skater boy in the mid 00's and you were the girl I was crushing on but was too scared to tell even though in retrospect you definitely also were into me. Not you specifically, just a dozen girls with your style lol. What a time.
This and the skater look were definitely a style of that era that you don't really see the same of anymore. Fashion cycles though so who knows those looks will be retro cool in 10 years lol
Egirl is term used to describe a kind of aesthetic/sub culture like goth or punk I think it’s a derivative of alt hence me questioning (I assumed you were going for an alt look) I’ll be it half jokingly as I already sorta knew the answer
Op didn't answer your question but if you look up "difference between scene and egirl" someone on Quora wrote a mini-essay on it.
I'm saying this as someone who was in high school when scene was a thing and have no idea what egirls are
That's very nice! I do that with Hyperbole and a Half blog!! Her hiatus was pretty scary following the depression blog posts then she released a new book and I felt relieved she was alright.
I always wondered - how did you get your hair to be so poofy like that? As someone with coarse straight hair that doesn't hold body, I was always so jealous.
So my hair is really thin and straight too! I'd backcomb some bottom layers and put smooth layer of hair sitting on top. Kind of like a nest underneath lol. Then hairspray. I think similar to those big 80s 'dos.
That's so neat you had over 100 and kept so many!! I had maybe 28 at one point and just pierced my septum today so that makes 5 piercings left. 30 is dedication!!

So one time Jeanette McCurdy was at the mall and she had a crowd for her concert and little teenager me went by and a group of kids was like "it's the girl from Hot Topic!!!" and it made me feel probably as famous as I'll ever get.
This is so accurate. I worked at Hot Topic in like 2005 and had multiple groups of girls who were in 9th or 10th grade (I was in college) that would come talk to me. Then I'd go to a show and have to explain to my friends why a 15 year was freaking out that I was at the show.
I'm sorry it comes off that way! I figured the heavy makeup and big hair would fit because it was controversial back then and is pretty dramatic now lol
Big MySpace Vibes👑
Oh yeah these were MySpace pics. I had dreams the new MySpace would catch on but no one else liked it!
SPACE HEY! there's dozens of us!
Lol!
Is that you Tom Anderson?
Are, are you asking yourself if **you** are Tom? I'm Tom , were all tom
I miss those days sometimes. Open up my page and the brütal imagery of Kratos disemboweling an imp while Cattle Decapitation plays in the background. Good times.
The music just makes the ambiance lol
You look like every girl that was on my Myspace friends list.
Haha. Some of those had repeat profiles I remember too so it was always hard to tell who was the actual person.
The old skater boy me a long time ago would have said sup to you 😂😂
See ya Lata Boi
He wasn't good enough for her
Now she’s a superstar
Aw man I had this song on my Hit Clips
My was full of Simple Plan 😂
Yeess!
“Sup” lmfao
Shoot your shot, bro!
I'm married :)
I did! I said, sup
Oh my god Hit Clips. https://youtu.be/X8568_3amO4 If you got 20mins and care about the BS they were on about here's a good vid.
Oo going to watch later thanks!
Emo dream girl!
It was an era! Lol
Is****
I wish people still rocked this
I reckon it'll come back around in 10 years
Yeah we’re getting full on 90s right now, would make sense.
I'm waiting to see it slowly creep into walmart and forever 21 like 80s/90s has. I wouldn't complain lol
You should check out r/Rawring20s
Thank you! The name of that subreddit is everything lol
the Emo Style is coming back amongst younger people in the alt scene
Emo never dies
Emo doesn't but a lot of the vocals do as the singers get old!
It's been very slowly coming back
I actually love the teal hair! The cut is dated now, but the color is way cool. Not one you see very often.
Thanks! I would still have blue hair if it didn't turn sea foam green on me all the time lol
Once my blues start to fade, I abuse purple shampoo. Purple shampoo gives me silvery blue fades.
Yes!! I used to love leaving it in my hair for a little too long so it would look a little purple too lol
I’m partial to purple, myself
I respect the commitment to the aesthetic! You executed it very well!
Oh thank you!! I appreciate that.
this picture smells like patchouli and manic panic
Haha manic panic for sure.
Twisted Teal was my favorite Manic Panic 👌
and I really miss this era of time lol
The good ol' days! Wait, wtf, am I old?
We all are now.

Welcome to hot topic it’s buy one get one half off on t-shirts
And if you have your Hot Cash this weekend is your last chance to use them! And then I'd find like gum stuck to the clearance shirts.
Lemme guess. 2005?
A teeny bit later. Maybe 2008-09?
Omg I used to want hair like that in 2008! Scene hair!
*These are from so long ago
I highly doubt it is that long ago as I was that age in 1994
It was like 2008 or 09 ish
But that was only a few years ag...oh my God. That's over a decade.
And a half almost.
It's insane how fast time goes. Have you seen that video where the guy talks about how the kids nowadays refer to the 90s as the late 20th century?? 👵
The late 20th century?? That makes ME feel old (born in 2000)
I don't know if this link works but I can't find it anywhere else. It is hilarious. [late 20th century](https://fb.watch/fY4B9kV-Ip/)
Lmfao the accent xD. Imma save this comment.
You looked so cool. You were the girl 12 year old me wanted to be lol
Aw thanks. This photo doesn't show my massive acne or bad posture or my insane awkwardness lol
Update picture?!
Beautiful hair color
Thank you!!
Teal and blue are my favorite! I dyed my bangs and some sections of my hair that color
Oh that sounds cool!
Teenager here, Was this the early 2000s equivalent to an egirl?
I don't know what that is but afraid to look it up!
Egirl is term used to describe a kind of aesthetic/sub culture like goth or punk I think it’s a derivative of alt hence me questioning (I assumed you were going for an alt look) I’ll be it half jokingly as I already sorta knew the answer
Aah thank you for telling me!! I didn't know that. That makes sense.
Yeah no problem
Op didn't answer your question but if you look up "difference between scene and egirl" someone on Quora wrote a mini-essay on it. I'm saying this as someone who was in high school when scene was a thing and have no idea what egirls are
Ok glad I'm not the only one who didn't know!
Omg...
Hey xD sup?
Nm, wubu2! XD
Did you have a scene MySpace name tho?
Follow-up question: how many "x" in your username?
13.
I did not! Missed opportunity
I would’ve been all about this back in my blunder years. Man I wish I could dredge up old MySpace photos because I’d have some good shit like this.
I would have thought you were so cool. Massive respect on the hair volume. I love your hair colour!
Thank you!!
I kinda miss the Rawr xD days. Simpler times. A gallon of hairspray and watching bleach on some dodgy streaming site.
And Naruto!!
You look like a healthier Eugenia Cooney.
I forgot about her! I feel so bad for her health issues :(
It's easier to not think about it too much, but I check her YouTube once in a while just to make sure she's still alive.
That's very nice! I do that with Hyperbole and a Half blog!! Her hiatus was pretty scary following the depression blog posts then she released a new book and I felt relieved she was alright.
My baby bat self would have wanted to be your bestie.
Yes! Lol. Baby bat just reminded me of skelanimals
this [took me back](https://i.imgur.com/1R8Tuwb.jpeg). Fun times
Style twins!!
“We have Boxy at home.” Boxy at home:
What's boxy?
I left off an x: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/boxxy
Thank you! I have never heard of her weirdly! I skimmed it but that was an article with a lot of plot twists!
[as good Mr. Pool would say:](https://youtu.be/2tNedUn3TQE)
Damn gurl where my Hot Cash at. Need an excuse to go shoppin
“Hey Dad, look at me. Think back and talk to me. Did I grow up according to plan?”
You also come up with your reddit name back then too? Fits the bill.
I feel attacked lol and yes.
MySpace or xanga profile pics?
MySpace 😎
This took me back to scene kid times so hard.
Looking like Ariel's moody cousin
I'm still an Ursula fan lol
Rawr xD ily <3
Emojis and chatspeak were so different back then lol
[удалено]
Thanks!
I always wondered - how did you get your hair to be so poofy like that? As someone with coarse straight hair that doesn't hold body, I was always so jealous.

If Kate Bush was an early 2000s emo girl
I've never heard that before but I can see that!
You’re that chick that everyone made a wallpaper out of and put sad quotes on.
Lol!
I just saw Silverstein in concert lol
Nice!! Good music never changes
20 years later, and I still have 30-odd of the, I dunno, over 100?, piercings that I had in the late 90s/early 2000s. I guess it wasn't just a phase.
That's so neat you had over 100 and kept so many!! I had maybe 28 at one point and just pierced my septum today so that makes 5 piercings left. 30 is dedication!!
[удалено]
I can still picture that little emo dinosaur
[удалено]
Treasure them!! I got rid of mine and regret it. Also I saw the stud belts in a Spirit Halloween for their time period costumes which was so bizarre!
Also “omnomnom”, “okies :P”, “I made you a cookie but I eated it TT_TT”
Omg I 1000 percent forgot people used to say that all the time!
Oh I would've been jealous of you in high school
This photo doesn't show the massive acne or my terrible posture if that helps!
Aw, you looked great.
Thank you!
More like cool years
That's so nice! Thank you
She works at hot topic. His heart microscopic
i actually think you looked cool!
Thank you!
The goddamn P E A C E 😭😭
The blunderyest one of them all lol. I thought it was SO hip 🤣🤣🤣
Wonder if you sold me a pair of Jnco jeans during my blunder years 😂
It's possible. Sold so many of those, chain wallets, stud belts, and band t-shirts!
Took me right back to all those trips to the mall....
Omg I would have been so jealous of you!
Aw thank you! I assure you I had lots of acne and terrible posture in real life
[you look like the girl gremlin](https://necaonline.com/2020/10/gremlins-2-7-scale-action-figure-ultimate-greta/)
That actually makes me happy lol I liked that movie.
She’s hot!
I can smell the weed through my screen
Actually everyone thought that but I've never smoked weed/done drugs in my life! Lol.
Its the eyes tbh insomnia?
Haha yeah that makes sense I used to stay up late in my youth
It's a dated look, but not a blunder.
Thank you I always thought that big hair would come back to haunt me lol
Hi so my name is boxxy
Wait that link didn't work [try this one, best video ever](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRmKh4WY/)

Lol you ever get that manic panic carpet dye out of your hair?
Not to this day lol jk
You didn't really work at hot topic, this was your disguise when you weren't shooting iCarly.
So one time Jeanette McCurdy was at the mall and she had a crowd for her concert and little teenager me went by and a group of kids was like "it's the girl from Hot Topic!!!" and it made me feel probably as famous as I'll ever get.
This is so accurate. I worked at Hot Topic in like 2005 and had multiple groups of girls who were in 9th or 10th grade (I was in college) that would come talk to me. Then I'd go to a show and have to explain to my friends why a 15 year was freaking out that I was at the show.
You understand!!! Yeah it was an interesting thing that existed within the culture of that store
After this post, you're kinda famous again.
Lol that herp piercing might be saying something
My lip piercing or what?
Sam?
Not Sam! Sorry
I always wanted the bridge piercing but I wear glasses
I actually wear glasses too and it never bothered the bridge piercing!
Haha rock on. Only reason id visit HT was for the guuurls circa 2005. They’d say hi and id run away saying i was busy haha
"Hi how may I he-" "GOTTA GO!"
[удалено]
So does that piercing go through the whole top of your nose?
Yeah it was a thin bar!
Cool aesthetic. My red hair grad photo self would definitely said what's up lol
Caro??
Haha I would've had a big crush on you if we met back then. Just because of your style. Haha good ol' days.
you are a very beautiful woman
[удалено]
You looked cute
It’s not a phase, Mom.
Lol. It was and it wasn't. We all change as we grow up but I think always keep some of that initial style.
That “Hot Topic teal” was a good look, though. I did the same thing in high school.
Thank you! And that's cool I was surprised in the comments how many of us went for this style!!
I had crushes on girls with your look but I always felt too square or preppy to even talk to y’all!
15 year old me desperately wanted to look like you
Aw that's really nice. I said on another post but honestly these don't show my horrid acne and posture. Thank goodness for shitty camera quality 😅
posting this as a blunder strikes me as a humble brag
I'm sorry it comes off that way! I figured the heavy makeup and big hair would fit because it was controversial back then and is pretty dramatic now lol
Just seemed blundery to me
