I recently came across a blogpost explaining something I was researching, and the comments beneath were exactly like this. Then I looked up from when it was: May 2006.

The internet is a time machine.

Alt Teenagers dress weird regardless of when they were born.

[–] ProfezzorDarke@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

alt adults also do

The use of the word aesthetic as a verb in the last several years blows my mind.

Anyhow, yeah, we dress different when we're kids. I don't think too many people are shocked by this.

It's used as a noun here? I'm confused

[–] ProfezzorDarke@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"the aesthetic" was always a noun, dude

[–] ruckblack@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, not a verb, which is why I'm confused

[–] ProfezzorDarke@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

the verb is aesthetical "It's not aesthetically pleasing"

Rawr xD

Gotta express my uniqueness by dressing like everyone else

To be fair: The scene was much smaller back then and many emo kids were basically scorned and beaten for the emo and scene aesthetic.

Yup... It was the main reason I stopped wearing make up and dressing like that. The bullying became unbearable.

Would be fun to try it again now, though... But I'm 30 so it'll probably look dumb lol

[–] AbyssalChord@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah the bullying was my main reason as well. I mean you could still rock that aesthetic to a show, but the most I feel comfortable to do nowadays is black nail polish, lol. I could get away with more on stage probably, but I won't feel comfortable like that now to be honest. The anxiety and bad experiences cut too deep I guess.

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