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.
Emocore stuff was also later on and seen generally as a pop-poser spinoff of punk and metal culture. It got uniquely hated on by both mainstream and alternative cliques because of this.
I personally went through a pretty extended punk phase and never really got picked on. I actually made plenty of friends with jocks and stoners in high school, while wearing a pretty cringe getup with operation Ivy patches and shit.
I gravitated toward nu-metal/industrial with wide leg JNCO pants and ball-chain necklaces.
I haven't even heard of "emo" being an actual style until now. I thought it was just goth. Maybe because it's a couple years after my time. I'm an older millennial, graduated high school in 2000.
Yeah, I'd say Emo really got going after 2000, at least in my experience
Don't forget about thrift store style! Which wasn't a style back then. Advantage though, us thrift store kids could switch styles daily. 'Gangsta' Monday, 'emo' Wednesday, poser Friday.
Wouldn't that just be poser every day?
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.
Millennial fashion was pretty bad imho. From the emo look all the way down to the lumberjack look. All quite contrived and corny, but that's just my opinion.
Good times 😂
The Millenials laughing at Gen Z are the same Millenials who mocked emo/scene kids back then.
Was a goth, mocked emos and scene kids. Learned my lesson, rock on you little weirdos, enjoy your time of experimentation

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

Boomers: Haha, Gen X sure looked stupid as kids!

The boomer's had everything better. That fashion works for me.
But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.
The only thing that's really improved is people's teeth.
But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.
Because they inherited an economy with actual food and replaced it with "food" filled with industrial inventions like corn syrup
Gonna be honest, I really like the aesthetic even to this day.
We're all still emo/scene kids at heart, it was never a phase mom
