10. And don't forget this unbeatable combination: whatever these pants were called paired with a lovely tramp stamp.

12. No belly-button ring? No problem! You can always get a rhinestone on your tooth.

19. Because then they'd harmonize perfectly with the outfits Avril Lavigne and Kelly Osbourne are wearing here.
20. And, of course, an authentic Von Dutch mesh cap to really finish the look.

22. You wore undershirts as regular shirts...

23. ...and your pants hung around your knees and were shiny (for some reason).

24. You certainly got your money's worth out of your crimping iron.

25. And your dad's ties were worn with an undershirt and with confidence.
