In retrospect, the '00s were an ... interesting time, but for those of us who considered ourselves "emo," it was a renaissance unlike any time we'll ever live in again. It still feels like yesterday when we were blasting My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! At The Disco just to piss our parents off. Oh, memories.
If you've since grown out of your emo phase, were you really even emo to begin with, though? We thought not. That being said, we've collected a whole bunch of pins and patches you can use to flaunt your emo-kid status — in a way more subtle way than your old hairstyle.
Frequent Crier Patch ($7, Stay Home Club)
Never forget all the tears cried to Dashboard Confessional.
Just Buried Pin ($10, Creepy Company)
Did anyone else ever have a weird photo shoot at a cemetery for MySpace? Just me? No?
Edward Scissorhands Pin ($15, Laser Kitten)
Emo wasn't nearly as big of a thing in the early '90s; Edward Scissorhands was ahead of his time.
Strange & Unusual Pin Set ($16, Strange Ways)
Another Winona Ryder classic! Lydia Deetz might be more of a goth, but we'll let it slide in this instance.
Everything Sucks Patch ($4, Hot Topic)
You might have adopted this sentiment as a teen, but it never really proved false.
Black & Strange Pin ($22, Adorned By Chi)
Where was this pin when I was growing up?
Sorry We're Dead Patch ($8, Creepy Company)
Give your parents some major albeit unnecessary concerns all over again with this iron-on patch.
IDGAF Pin ($5, Hot Topic)
Roll the dice and wear this pin to work on days when you truly can't be bothered.
