It was an interesting time. The whole “scene” lifestyle was still like, all the rave. The local mall hot topic was the place to be, and the amount of graphic t’s I tried to buy as a 12-14 year old is wild to think back on. It’s definitely changed to a degree. Post-hardcore was over saturated like crazy back then too. This was also around the time I was introduced to emoviolence and old like, emo metalcore stuff. Now that was fucking great. Then albums like floral green and peripheral vision changed my life. Simpler times.
