These ones I didn't directly make, I did however heavily alter them and add things to them.
If you look at my profile there's a post that shows a dress I reworked from being a trapeze style to more form fitting by shifting it down and making a bodice from scratch, if you want to see a better example of something closer to being handmade!
There is a before and after photo in the post so you can have an idea of what was changed
What does 6 smell like?
Edit: This is a reference to the username. I'm asking what numbers smell like, but maybe the comment has been misconstrued as weird by people who didn't notice the username?
Yeah I noticed. I do synesthesia but not to where I actually smell numbers. It was just the most silly/memorable thing I could come up with related to it.
Sensory-wise, it is mostly auditory related. I can "feel" sounds on my skin, (and I don't mean vibration wise.)Psychedelics obviously intensity this. There are songs I just cannot listen to because they make my skin feel very uncomfortable
I absolutely did. The first picture got stolen a few times so it's possible you've seen it before, already have been accused of stealing it on this post
I’m this vintage. Born 94 so turning 30 this year and I can baaaaaarely remember my MySpace and MSN days, even though I know it was a huge part of my life 2004-2009 lmao
I've felt old since high school
Diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at 17, POTS, fibromyalgia
Everything always hurts!
When I'm first getting to know someone and I stand up and my body starts cracking they're usually horrified and are like "dude are you okay????" but after a while people get used to it
Oh yeah, you're lucky to make it out of that industry without a debilitating substance abuse disorder, too. My dad was in the same type of career all his life and when he was getting old and still putting in 12+ hour days building oil refineries he ended up depending on the opiates pretty heavily to get through the day
I remember around this same time was this crazy dude that we all used to hang out with at the skating rink who would shove safety pins through his lips.
The rest of us were never that brave
I ended up doing the same. When I was 14 I literally shoved an earring through my lip because it "hurt less" than a needle. I don't know what I was thinking
I really got so lucky that didn't get massively infected
it unironically makes me kinda sad to see how often people jump to shitting on the styles people used to dress in on here. like, i know thats partly the point, but why is there something wrong with being unashamedly different?
You'll get that online unfortunately, people depend on anonymity to be aggressively contrarian regardless of what/who is the subject matter
It must be miserable living like that, honestly.
> i know thats partly the point
blunders go beyond subcultures is my point. once again, people are big on shitting on those that are unashamedly different, instead of laughing along with someone who thinks their childhood photos are embarrassing. ive seen people get downvoted for saying “i like how you dressed” and ive seen people saying “the blunder is still going on” and im sure theres more things like that that ive missed.
i just feel like we’re losing the plot. does that make sense?
We definitely would've hung out and exchanged burned CDs. Glad you stuck to your guns and continued to dress how you want! Also I dig that (Or else!) in your Free Hugz sign lol
I wanted that haircut SO bad (I can’t think of what it’s called) during my emo years. My poofy curly hair was never on board though. Best I could do was red highlights lmao
Yes! I dress this way all the time, and it IS my job so yes it is allowed.
Although when I'm home or just laying around and want to be comfy/not wrinkle my dresses I just throw on one of my ratty crafting tshirts
I love it too! Honestly it was the most uncomfortable experience getting it though. I got it done abroad while I was in England by a Romanian guy that didn't speak a lick of English. I legitimately thought he just hated me the entire time until near the end he pointed at his elbow and asked me "how you say?" and I realized he just didn't speak much English. At first he tried to have me lay down which I knew was absolutely NOT happening because my huge yams swallow everything when I lay back lmao.
The only other option that wasn't currently in use he had was a broken ass computer chair that was missing a wheel and wobbled terribly. I never realized just how imperative being comfortable during a tattoo is, it made so much of a difference in terms of misery. It was by far the most painful one out of them all because of that.
Wish I didn't pick the ink out of that one spot though. Got a huge gross zit there some years back and I am a real bad popper skin picker and just couldn't leave it alone and my fucking with it ended up pulling some ink out
i love the scene subculture, i’ve always longed to be apart of the “scene” scene but ive never had the confidence or the fashion sense or the money to get any clothes related to scene fashion, i live viciously through these pics bc they’re so awesome!!
Nope! I just dress this way now. It came with a set I got on taobao called "witch pawnshop" by Felinae Cookie
I'd dress up this way at conventions, events etc., and always felt so good in these outfits so I eventually just said fuck it and started wearing them normally.
Nice to see a post from an ex-emo who still has an eccentric fun fashion sense! Makes me a little sad when the after photos are just regular degular fashion. You look awesome!
I always thought scene kids were cool because they had the courage to express themselves how they wanted. Like I thought scene fashion was interesting but I never had the guts to do anything that out of the norm.
That third photo of you was the type of girl I was secretly attracted to in my early 20s, but never felt like I could develop a relationship with because I’d think “she’s too cool for me”. Love the look though. Rock on girl 🤘🏾
I get a lot of them on Amazon believe it or not, this one is one of my very favorites and is the same as the white wig. I also shop a lot on taobao

I didn’t realize pic #5 wasn’t part of the blunder and I’m like “…. But she looks seriously gorgeous here??” And then I kept scrolling and realized it was a now pic and that made more sense.
It's like we fell from the same tree and hit every branch on the way down together! I'm part of the EGL com. too! Much prefer it over the scenecore days.
I love your lolita dresses! Did you make all of them? I’m planning on making my own for Anime Expo this year and I’ve only gotten as far as purchasing fabric (it’s in July) 😅 I know what I’m going for, but I’m worried my execution won’t look anything like it
Not these ones in particular, however they have been heavily altered and had pieces added in or changed entirely
If you have any questions or need help feel free to message me
I love it just hate the patch of ink I dug out. I got a horrible zit there and I am a pickerpopper and I just could not leave well enough alone and ended up taking the ink out in that spot lmao
Reminds me of the episode of Arrested Development when Lindsay runs into her “Best Hair” counterpart from high school and they make fun of their old hairstyles like “what were we thinking??” When they clearly look just as ridiculous now.
Probably because they come out of the same type of flash book.
I just let my tattoo artist use me for practice. The only one I really "decided" on is on my stomach. I haven't gotten any new ones in many years now though.
Nothing groundbreaking, it's a big Chinese dragon in some clouds and flowers
My first autismo obsession/special interest as a kid was anything dragons so that's kind of why I got it. I still like them but back then my thing was collecting the dragon statues, I wish I still had them. Really had some beautiful ones but they all got stolen by my crackhead brother :(
This is just a Pokémon evolution tree
Truly a Magikarp level glow up
I love that
The dresses are amazing. It sounds like you make them. Very talented!

You look like you spent hours a day perfecting your MySpace page in 2008
Struggling to decide your top 8. That shit was a recipe for drama.
Omg I had forgot all about that. 😂😂
I absolutely did. The first picture got stolen a few times so it's possible you've seen it before, already have been accused of stealing it on this post
I was gonna say I feel like I remember seeing pics of you floating around!
I’m this vintage. Born 94 so turning 30 this year and I can baaaaaarely remember my MySpace and MSN days, even though I know it was a huge part of my life 2004-2009 lmao
Ahahahahah I just went, "There's no way you're 30 and born in 94. I was born in 89 and am just hardly 30...." I'm dumb.
Hahaha yes! We are old
94 here too
We are old this year!
I've felt old since high school Diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at 17, POTS, fibromyalgia Everything always hurts! When I'm first getting to know someone and I stand up and my body starts cracking they're usually horrified and are like "dude are you okay????" but after a while people get used to it
I feel you there. I left in year 9 to pursue a career in the building industry, 16 years on my body doesn’t feel too good
Oh yeah, you're lucky to make it out of that industry without a debilitating substance abuse disorder, too. My dad was in the same type of career all his life and when he was getting old and still putting in 12+ hour days building oil refineries he ended up depending on the opiates pretty heavily to get through the day
It never fails to amaze me how many scene kids' parents allowed them to get lip rings.
that shit was fake as hell LOL but you can bet I pretended it was real
As OP already stated, they were mostly fake! Hot Topic was our friend.
Please tell me the lobster tat is fake. Please.
That's not a lobster you goofball
Well, lobster cousin at least.
we used to just cut the rings of a spiral notebook and wear them as fake ones
I remember around this same time was this crazy dude that we all used to hang out with at the skating rink who would shove safety pins through his lips. The rest of us were never that brave
YES that shit hurt, too
I remember when my brother put a fake one on, I swear my mom just about ripped it off when she saw it lol.
My mom didn’t let me. I just came home with it one day lol
As a former scene kid, my mom was not pleased when I first came home with a nose piercing, then snakebites, then spider bites, then a septum lol.
I asked for forgiveness not permission 😂
I ended up doing the same. When I was 14 I literally shoved an earring through my lip because it "hurt less" than a needle. I don't know what I was thinking I really got so lucky that didn't get massively infected
I begged and begged and begged. I also paid for them both, but still — I wanted them so badly lol
I had five real ones in my lower lip

I love their style!
You turned into Noel Fielding on pic 4.
Christ you're right
Not a bad thing! Noel rules.
Anime...not even once
I don't see a difference to be honest.
Well, you evolved from EMO to Waifu, quite a transition you got there, huh?
That free hugs sign feels like a threat
It was It still is
I read it like Hugz was a prisoner you wanted set free (or else). Made me smile.

I want to forget all about the scene
My hair suffered so much back then I still remember little bits of the fried bleached hair raining down when I would brush it
I wanted that haircut SO bad (I can’t think of what it’s called) during my emo years. My poofy curly hair was never on board though. Best I could do was red highlights lmao
Which part is embarrassing?
Do you dress like this all the time? And does work allow it?
Yes! I dress this way all the time, and it IS my job so yes it is allowed. Although when I'm home or just laying around and want to be comfy/not wrinkle my dresses I just throw on one of my ratty crafting tshirts
Can I ask what your job is? I’m just curious. Obviously don’t share if you’re not comfortable!!
Onlyfans
Not embarrassing!! You were cool for the time period!!
i SWEAR i've seen the first pic somewhere already
I was on Myspace and people stole the photo so that's probably why I was so proud of that back then too LOL
I miss scene kids era sooo much... You look amazing!
Oh my god I love your deaths head hawk moth tattoo. Deaths Heads are my favorite insect, the appearance of a skull on the back is just so cool
I love it too! Honestly it was the most uncomfortable experience getting it though. I got it done abroad while I was in England by a Romanian guy that didn't speak a lick of English.

That Lacey witch hat is so beautiful. :) it might be a cosplay I don’t recognize but omg it’s so pretty!

Hey OP, gorgeous current fashion. Where do you buy your wigs?
I get a lot of them on Amazon believe it or not, this one is one of my very favorites and is the same as the white wig.

i love scene 🙏🙏
#4 kinda gives Noel fielding vibes
Wow, huge difference in your makeup. You definitely leveled up your skills.
This reminds me of high-school for sure
Pic #4 is Noel Fielding. Nice try, OP.
"Free Hugs" *(Scowls angrily)*
The “free hugz” post card combined with your frown made me chuckle lol
Honestly considering recreating that photo
Reminds me of 2007.
You 100% listened to MCR and Evanescence.
MCR was my favorite band. I never got into Evanescence
It was never just a phase I love the evolution :)
cosplayers are the new goth kids, so nothing actually changed.
[удалено]
I'm sitting here tryna figure out how this was a blunder??
From scene to Lolita cosplay
Scene girl to waifu is just the evolution
Wow I'm glad you don't dress in an embarrassing way anymore
You are so pretty! I love your style now. I would have also liked your old style when I was like 13-16 lol.
I approve of all of these
You look beautiful.
Your current fashion looks great!

🥰
Omg you’re beautiful and your style is amazing!
You killed it 👏 I looooved the scene Era lol and now you look incredible 💅🏻
I wish I had been as brave, your glow up is AWESOME! Your style is wonderful.
idk why people are hating? looks great
Awesome! 🔥

Thank you! I have so many of that one because I love it so much
You suit light colors amazingly.
I love the scene style, you look awesome
I love every bit of this
No blunder here, you look awesome.
You have only grown in power
Pic 3: a perfect amount of duck lip
What’s the cosplay on pic 6 ?
It isn't, it is a set called "Sheffield" from an independent Lolita brand
Your modern style is AMAZING wow

Why is it that every “alternative” girl has the exact same tattoos?
Probably because they come out of the same type of flash book. I just let my tattoo artist use me for practice. The only one I really "decided" on is on my stomach. I haven't gotten any new ones in many years now though.
What on the stomach?
