Everyone went through an emo/scene phase at one point in their life. Whether it was Taking Back Sunday, or those choppy cover-the-eye bangs—we all went through those few years where we edited all of our pictures with skulls and sad quotes and used way too much eyeliner for our liking. But, we all know, emo kids grow up to be bad-ass, chic rockstars. Therefore, to make you all feel better about your own emo pictures you hide in your closet, BuzzFeed users are sharing their “glow-ups” to show that we’ve all been there.

Emo music: This is a genre of rock music that originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk scene in Washington D.C. Emo music is characterized by emotional, often confessional lyrics that deal with topics like heartbreak,alienation, and self-doubt. The music itself can be loud and distorted, but it can also be softer and more melodic.Some well-known emo bands include Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, and My Chemical Romance.
Emo as a subculture: Emo is also used to describe a subculture that is associated with emo music. People who identify with emo fashion typically wear dark clothing, such as black skinny jeans and band t-shirts. They may also have dyed black hair and wear eyeliner. It’s important to note that not everyone who listens to emo music identifies with the subculture, and not everyone who dresses in emo fashion listens to emo music.
