1. Your Spotify currently looks like this:

2. You still sleep in your My Chemical Romance T-shirt.

3. You drown out the sounds of annoying colleagues by blasting emo through your headphones.

4. And you live for the day you'll be able to blast Brand New through the office stereo.

5. You’re wearing a fancy suit, but your belt looks like this:

6. Adam Lazarra still makes you hot under the collar.

7. Gerard Way still makes you weak at the knees

8. Your glovebox is full of your old emo CDs.

9. Sometimes you still pick up the latest issue of Kerrang for old time's sake.

10. But you can’t get into whatever passes for emo these days.

11. You still listen to Dashboard Confessional when going through a break-up.

12. And when things are going well.

13. You still take selfies from this angle.

14. You wish you could personalise your Facebook a little.

15. You laugh when teens tell you how good One Direction are live.

16. And you still do this every time you hear "Sugar, We're Goin' Down".

17. Your heartagram tattoo is still your favourite ink.

18. And no matter what anyone says, you still don't regret the ear gauges.

19. You probably still own a pair of customised Converse.

20. You still get angry when people suggest pop-punk bands were emo.

21. When the world gets too much, you retreat into the company of old friends.

22. And "throwback Thursday" means something entirely different to you.

23. Ville Valo is still top of your freebie list.

24. And while you might be all business in the street...

25. ...you're still emo in the sheets.

26. And finally, it’s written into your will that Chris Conley sing the requiem at your funeral.
