If you're a young Gen X-er or older millennial, there's a 99.9% chance you went through an emo phase — which is why you need to follow this Portuguese Twitter account, @emosemcontextos, which means "Emos Without Context."
It's just a compilation of emos from way back when in otherwise very normal situations...
And if all that eyeliner doesn't take you back to your high school days, nothing will.
Because being an emo wasn't just a seasonal thing...
It was a lifestyle.
And it took serious commitment.
You had to get the hair juuuust right...
And invest in a few tattoos, to show that you were serious:
If you were emo, you were emo all the way — at the zoo...
At the beach...
And, of course, at your friendly neighborhood water park.
Because you never know when a good selfie situation would arise...
Or when you'd have an exceptional hair day.
