Gen X: Haha, those millenials sure looked stupid as kids!

Also Gen X:

It's sad they got so much hate back the days. Their style was so awesome and different. I always admired that, but didn't have the courage to go full emo and draw everybodys hate on me.

That was peak aesthetics.

Emo/Skater outfit makes everyone over 9000% more attractive.

I’m a millennial, and I still dress all emo even in my 30’s. My 20 year old coworker even complimented my black skinny jeans with zippers in random places the other day. No reason to stop loving your late teen/early 20’s aesthetic! Don’t let the world crush your creativity, do you and to hell with everyone’s opinions!

This was like, 5% of millennials. Trust me, I was one of them. We got our asses kicked for dressing this way. Most everyone else either did "gangsta" style with low-hanging pants and Timberland boots/Jordans, or "preppy" style with a boring-ass polo shirt and khakis.

Alt Teenagers dress weird regardless of when they were born.

The Millenials laughing at Gen Z are the same Millenials who mocked emo/scene kids back then.

I'll paraphrase a twitter comment: man I did not give a single fuck about gen x as a millenial, these posts are so weird. Maybe we're just more exposed to each other now because of social media

Gonna be honest, I really like the aesthetic even to this day.

I see an Invader Zim T-shirt!

Sometimes I think that since I still really love goth chicks I haven’t changed that much since the 00s

But then I remember that over that time frame goth chicks went from edgy rebellious teenagers in a ton of makeup to moms in their 30s with a wicked sense of humor that wear a lot of black. They still deal weed and hate authorities though.

We're all still emo/scene kids at heart, it was never a phase mom

This is every generation with the generation before them.

Those complaining ones are boomer converts. I see more of them in retro game groups.

God, I miss that time. Closest you get to that aesthetics nowadays still is some forms of visual kei (stuff like lynch.), but it’s a different vibe.

Yeah, you got me. But i don't know what gen z is doing and don't feel like talking down about them for whatever reason. I miss my spiked punk hairstyle, the teased mohawk i rocked and the half covered face emo hair. all of the weird stuff was so much fun.

Im an emo kid

Nonconforming as can be

You'd be nonconforming too if you looked just like me

Edit: revisiting these lyrics, this song is an important time capsule

Genz aesthetic I swear is just depression meets delirium, and honestly, I can’t blame them lol

I don't if it's just me but a lot of weirdness was then part of various subcultures, especially music ones. Now it has been decoupled from those onto tiktok. Not saying good or bad.
