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.
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
