We asked the former scene kids of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what they're up to today. Here are the ~br00t4l~ results.
1. "I sell cars!"
2. "I never left my phase. I just grew up, experimented, and found myself more."
3. "I'm 29 and a banker."
4. "I used to go for the androgynous look, and now I just want to be comfy."
5. "I’m 24 and getting my masters in comparative literature."
6. "I'm almost 27, married, have two kids, and I recently became a birth doula."
7. "I have learned to embrace my naturally curly hair and not straighten it to a point where it feels like straw."
8. "I intern at BuzzFeed."
9. "I’ve been on tour as a professional figure skater and am now starting a career as an event planner."
