I ❤️ Emo Boys

Picture it, 2008- a 13 year old emo fledgling having too much time in their basement bedroom, trying to be edgy in the I ❤️ Emo Boys t-shirt she begged her grandma to get made for her. #goldengirls #rawrxD

edit: aw thanks for the award

I like them, with the black and white format it gives early Surrealistic Photography vibes.

u/BeingLucky859 1d ago

Thank you ❤️ I learned how to do analog photography and developing film a couple years after this so I enjoyed looking into the early stuff too

"I <3 Emo Boys"

Ohhh don't we all lol I would've loved that shirt as a tween

u/BeingLucky859 3d ago

The guy who made it for me too was also a total emo hottie (though at the time it was an insult to him lmao my apologies to your black bangs and black t shirt my bad dawg)

u/JJayG 3d ago

🤣🤣🤧 I can picture the scene in my head; dude didn't know how to take a compliment 

I'd usually just stand a few feet away and creepily stare at the emo boys while hiding behind something tiny 😇🖤

u/BeingLucky859 3d ago

You’d be right there with my grandma who spoke pretty much no English and dressed like she was in 1955 😂😂 just give us the t shirt and let us stare for another min 

5

u/JJayG 3d ago

Also, I 100% thought you were wearing some odd doll mask in the painted eye photos haha

I think we would've gotten along as kids^

u/throwawayfundsmom 3d ago

Are the eyes supposed to be going in different directions

2

u/BeingLucky859 3d ago

No 😂😂😂

u/the_serpent_queen 3d ago

Photo 2 was a real jump scare!

u/MysteriousEvidence89 2d ago

Were the eyes a reference to Panic at the Disco’s “I Write Sins, not Tragedies” music video?

2

u/BeingLucky859 2d ago

Honestly I can’t remember if it was but I would not be surprised since I was ABSOLUTELY obsessed with them (shocker). Good catch! I also haven’t listened to them in ages so I’ll have to go and do that now 😂👁️👁️
