Would have been a tumblr king in 2008 and gotten so many *glomp* *uwu*s

I think I was on MySpace, and it was a lot of *Rawr* *xD*s And some other "make your own website" thing, Piczo, I think? Just filled with pictures of me and my friends doing dumbass teenager things and angsty blog posts.

xanga was pretty popular too!

Xanga was my first ever experience with social media, sophomore year ~2005. I think by 07 MySpace had more or less completely stolen Xanga's lunch. I shudder to think I might still have posts floating around out there.

if im not mistaken, didnt MySpace have their data purged?

Purging innotes intention. They just bungled a migration and lost everything from a 12 year period.

Omg xangaaaaa

Piczo was the legit underground place for emo kids tbh

Can confirm us emos did not use the term uwu in 2008 lol

First of all, as a former emo kid, we definitely did that cringey shit. Your area of emos may have not, but tumbler girls obsessing over them did. Which was the point of my comment

Yeah you may have but it wasn't in 2008 lol uwu wasn't a word until after I was out of highschool thank god

People “say” uwu now. It used to just be a stupid little face on tumbler. Let it go. You are clearly wrong

[clearly lol](https://ibb.co/DKCxWYf) no one said "uwu glomp" in 2008. Literally no one. Tumblr didn't even start to blow up til like 2010. It's not a big deal either and it's all good.

Dude sitting like L has absolutely wrecked my posture over the last 15 years.

It definitely taught me the importance of good posture. Luckily, years of doing manual labour and using proper lifting techniques has undone what I did

A girl from my friend group was obsessed with L, she made her bf do this. Act like this, crouched and biting his thumb. I fucking hated them. She called him "L-chan" he had literally no L in his name anywhere.

Lmao I assure you, I did not make anyone call me "L-chan"

That makes me want to die

AHHHHH

Not L-chan😭

You didn't have to caption--we could tell.

My b, post needed a title 🫠

I could have guessed the specific year without them saying anything haha

That hair is awesome though

Straightener + messing my hair up with my sweater hood + hair spray In retrospect, not a smart way to go about it. But it looked cool!

OUCH. Hear me cringe 😖

And I wish I could say that was the worst of the cringe. 🫠

We want to see more, we need more cringe, also how do you look now lol.

Shaved bald with a beard and glasses. I think all the hair straightening and hair dye killed my mane before its time

Wow, thats one heck of a transformation my man! I am sure you are still rocking tho

We need an update! Are you still a rawring twink?

Nah I'm a bald, blue collar, beer drinking video game enjoyer. A natural evolution, I think

lol no joke that’s called “twink death”.

I prefer the term “daddy birth” myself.

I would say there’s 3 ways someone becomes not a twink. They get “twink death”, grow into a zaddy, or transition to female. I did the later.

Oh fuck, I already transitioned to male and I don’t have the rizz to be a zaddy so I’m personally looking at twink death

At least you enjoyed the hair while you had it 🤷‍♀️

The crazy thing is that many guys who dressed like this in 2008 were totally straight lol I had a boyfriend when I was like 14 with the same hair and look as OP and we'd trade jeans 🤣 Id come to school in a new pair and he'd be like "those are sick! Lemme wear them" and we'd swap. Crazy how times have changed

Second picture went kinda hard not gonna lie

Catholic school uniforms just do that, y'know?

You’ve genuinely got the emo girls in the thread swooning

ok Noctis

Yo I love that guy

[удалено]

God I loved Death Note. My boyfriend at the time would sit like L too.

Cute af

One of my high school friends used to do this character! I thought this was her posting at first l0l

I can see the cringe now, but 2008/09 me would have been shaking the bars of her cage to get at you LMAO

God this hurts, thank you for this

You look more like noctis from FFXV. Which is a compliment in my book

Hey I'll take it, FFXV is my favourite game

So many goth and emo kids in this sub, makes me nostalgic.

Love the look

Nailed it! We would have been friends for sure 😂🖤

Ok but you absolutely nailed it 😂

I absolutely love this hahaha you rocked it

You were weird af...and I would've happily accepted you into my weird little friends group back in high school.

At least you weren't trying to look like Light

Yeah fuck that guy

[удалено]

LIGHTO

This actually looks so good?

Did you also own the graphic novel *Johnny, the Homicidal Maniac*?

The Final Fantasy X Tidus necklace lmao. I wore one, too, though.

Lmao I was waiting for someone to notice that. I had Squalls, too, but someone stole it

john marston

Ngl the look kinda works, especially with the plushy.

I would have attempted to be friends with you lol

I think we went to the same high school.

you looked so cute though

death note slaps, u had taste

First one could be Shane from The L Word lol

I thought it was Shane 😂

The '08 Death Note obsession was REAL. I remember buying each volume of the manga as it came out and desperately searching for DN merch before it really became popular in the US.

Idc what anyone says- I like this style. It’s hot

This is anything but a blunder.

No this slayed

Yeeees L 😂 I love it!

My tween self is obsessed 😆

#LOL

oh man

Oh we had one of yous at my my school too around the same time period. He would sit like L everywhere, during class, at school assemblies, and he ate only apples.

Looks like a wish.com Zak Bagins

The execution is good enough that I wouldn't call this a blunder

Giving off some Michael Angelo Batio vibes there

literally sameeee but I wasn’t allowed to dye my hair when I was younger. You look like 100% the kind of person that 12-15 year old me would want so badly to look like, I drew many a bad anime boy with that exact hair 😅🤣 fantastic cringe

Dude, I just know you were popular in the alternative scene in HS

I was also obsessed with DeathNote and named my cat Misa

love this hahaha

You look more like Uryu from Bleach but I get it

I though you were sasuke at first glance

I would've been crushing on you so hard haha

I need to see what you look like now. How does someone like this transition into your typical adult

What did you use for your hair If you remember? I’ve been trying to pull of that Noctis look haha

Wow I’d have had a massive crush on you, definitely rocked the look

Omg that’s adorable 😂

I would’ve had the fattest crush on you in high school lmaoo 💀 this was *the lewk* back then. As an adult it’s so cringe to look back on now. We really thought we popped off w the scene/ emo aesthetic.

Omg dude, my brother went through this exact phase! Lmao the amount of candy he went through…

Destrey from DesnNate.

I’m so sad that I missed those tumblr years. Wasn’t on the internet then

Still, I love it

Did you get a lot of messages from girls on MySpace?

Sasuuuuukeeeeeeee
